yawara is not a joke, he is a trans man capable of wearing cutesy feminine stuff and not be ashamed of it. he is a proud member of the wild wild pussycats. do all transmasc characters have to be very manly for them not to be a joke or what?Ā
magne is a transwoman that doesnt look very feminine. she has stubble and rough features, but regardless of that nobody misgenders her. not even villains. nobody cares if she is feminine or masculine, she is a woman and everyone respects that. hell her friends are even sad when she died. her being a villain is also something not transphobic because surprise! trans people are people, and people can be bad. also why r u saying that sheās dead as if it was because sheās trans? as i said, trans people are people, and people can die. it wasnt even because of transphobic reasons, she died because overhaul is a cunt. (also the lips stereotype isnt only for black people? regardless of that its still stupid. now you cant make a character with big lips?)
trans men dont owe anyone masculinity, trans women dont owe anyone femininity, same thing for trans characters.
god i hate this fandom
do you think horikoshi's level of "not giving a fuck" its high enough for making a canon gay couple? (ships aside)
Horikoshi is at least aware of LGBT rights based on this moment with Magne.Ā
and based on him creating a canon trans character.Ā
Horikoshi is a progressive writer and handles a lot of mature topics better than most shounen authors. He reminds me a little of Togashi, the shounen author of HunterxHunter. Togashi and his wife both support LGBT rights, and Togashi has made a prominent character trans, and there are a lot of characters in HunterxHunter whose sexuality or gender are shrouded in mystery. The reason why I think these two authors are so similar is because both handle sensitive material rather maturely and both have confirmed LGBT characters.Ā
Plus, if Attack on Titan can have a canon gay couple, then Boku no Hero Academia should be able to get away with having a canon gay couple with time. LGBT rights keeps improving in Japan every year, and Boku no Hero Academia still has years to go before concluding. LGBT rights most likely will have lots of support years from now in Japan by the time the series ends. In fact, Japan has improved tremendously with LGBT rights already. The lives of the LGBT community has become better, there are more LGBT characters in Japanese media, the younger generation in Japan is especially supportive of LGBT individuals, and Japanese culture in general has become more LGBT-inclusive. In fact, a group of Japanese politicians just last week have formed a coalition for LGBT rights, and there are news of Japanese corporations becoming more LGBT-inclusive. Being gay in Japan is becoming less taboo everyday.Ā
Hypothetically, letās say Horikoshi wants to make Bakugou and Kirishima a canon gay couple, but Shounen Jump wonāt allow it. If thatās the case, Horikoshi can simply give both Bakugou and Kirishima lots of intimate moments, make them follow a bunch of romance tropes, give them no other love interests, and even have them become life partners by the end of the series, leaving the romance of their relationship up to interpretation. That would be extremely close to having a canon gay couple without explicitly confirming it. Something similar to this happened with the main characters of the JRPG Tales of Zesteria.Ā
I think itās too easy and too simple to say there can never be a canon gay couple in Boku no Hero Academia just because itās a shounen. People arenāt taking other factors into account. Horikoshi isnāt your standard shounen author. Iām not saying Horikoshi will create a canon gay couple because I donāt know what the hell heāll do. I canāt make that kind of claim. Iām just saying itās definitely possible.Ā

If Iām somewhere where there are Educational Personell (Museum Docents, Q&A zookeepers, Park Rangers, Public School Teachers, Professors etc.) I have a question I like to ask them:
āWhatās the weirdest question someoneās ever asked you?ā
I say weird and not Dumb becuase even buckwild questions can have important answers, but whoever I ask it too usually has to think about it for a bit, then comes out with something different every time.Ā And I love every single answer becuase it just warms my heart out there to know people are trying to understand the world a bit better, no matter how limited thier starting point. A collection of favorites so far:
Art Museum Host: āA man once asked meĀ āCan you help me find someone and if you canāt can you find someone who can?āĀ Which I always thought would be a great title for an Artwork.ā
Park Ranger:Ā āIām so glad the Japanese couple asked meĀ āIs bear spray like mosquito spray and it goes on the jacket, or on the bear?ā instead of just trying it.ā
Zookeeper:Ā āA man once pointed at the live red-tailed hawk I had out for a demo and asked meĀ āArenāt those extinct?ā We eventually figured out he meantĀ āEndangeredā but I hear that question every time I see a redtail now.ā
Primary School Teacher:Ā āAbout every other year a student asks me what part of the school I sleep in at night, because clearly I live here.Ā I tell them I sleep under the bleachers in the gym but itās actually the Nurseās office.ā
Professor:Ā āA student asked meĀ āSo how do I use this in a conversation when my aunt is wine-drunk at thanksgiving and being a jerk again?ā Which honestly is a fair question about philosophy and really changed how I teach rhetoric.ā
Natural History Docent:Ā āA woman once asked me what the difference between a Million and a Billion was.Ā Kinda pieced together that sheād just left her church for her safety, and was learning about Earthās Natural History for the first time. Nobody else was there because it had been snowing, so I walked her through the Hall Of Time and answered as many questions as I could.Ā She was bewildered, but really trying. It always struck me as a really brave thing, to try to understand all of that while fresh out of a dangerous situation. I hope it helped.ā
Forensic Scientist:Ā Ā āPeople ask me how to commit murder all the time, but if you really hate someone, stealing thier identity causes much more suffering and is a lot harder to get caught at. A guy did ask me if working at a body farm was creepy and did not like that it was ok until you learned that decayed human fingers are a deerās favorite midwinter snack.ā
Zookeeper:Ā āPeople call us becuase they think theyāve found an escaped animal all the time, or they think theyāre neighborās husky is a wolf. One guy asked me if his dog was part hyena because it had spots. But that one guy really did have a Tiger in his toolshed that one time so we try to take them seriously.ā
Meteorologist:Ā āA guy once emailed me about how hard youād have to fan a tornado to make it start spinning in the other direction and included a picture of him holding up a box fan at an approaching tornado.Ā We printed it out for the work fridge.ā
Park Ranger:Ā āI was giving a talk on the Yellowstone Supervolcano and a guy asked if, after it errupted, the earth would beĀ āhollowed outā.Ā I suppose I was just relieved that he understand that the earth isnāt flat.ā
Primarcy Shcool teacher:Ā āA student once asked me where she could sell her bones online so she could by a dog.Ā Which? Same.ā
Natural History Docent:Ā āA guy asked usĀ āIf I had a time machine, and managed to kill and cook a T-Rex, what would it have tasted like?ā and every paleontologist on staff deciced to take him seriously.Ā They did research to learn about fat distribution, and read up on culinary science to learn what flavors meat, even did chemical analysis on the bones.Ā They concluded that itād be Tough (no evidence of juicy fat pockets), bitter (carnivores tend to taste foul) and would probably kill him, because heavy metals travel up the food chain and T-Rex accumulated a lot of the cadmium that was in the dirt in the late cretaceous.Ā Wrote him a letter with our findings and he sent us back a drawing of him and his buddies cooking a T-Rex over a fire and all of them throwing up and dying, and itās my favorite drawing in the whole world.ā
