Starting the New Year, welcome 2022!

[cashew]

I'm gonna continue into 2022 talking about Sk8 the Infinity and the answer is, yes, yes the anime is explicitly talking about homosexual relationships.

Like...I can't believe people are arguing this. What is this "oh, they didn't kiss, there wasn't a confession, so it's not real gay, it's queer baiting". WTF is wrong with people?

If you can't tell the difference between a romantic and platonic relationship without kisses or confessions to clue you in, then wow, maybe you want to experience a little bit more of life before throwing your hat in the ring. What do you think declaring someone as one's happiness means? What do you think saying "I like you" means? Yes, sometimes saying "like" means like-like. Gah.

Children.

Fandom is filled with children.

Then again, I'm reminded of the time when American fandom thought Akane and Ranma weren't a romantic couple because they never kissed. 😑 Are Western audiences really this obtuse or is this coming from denial because your ship wasn't canonical?
