You gotta have 20 volumes before they hold hands.

I guess, I have to do more research. The only one I’ve seen so far started with

I can't believe I didn't know about this one until it already had an anime. Also, I can't believe that a yuri about college students drinking alcohol got an anime! Maybe we'll finally get more adult yuri out Japan instead of just school girl stuff; it'd certainly make super sexual stories like Gushing Over Magical Girls less creepy 🤢

Not sure She-Ra counts as average in any other way, though

[–] 48954246@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was definitely thinking of she-ra when I read this.

She-Ra is the worst queer show I've ever seen. The first arc is about Communist Revolutionary Adora learning to overcome her biases against the monarchy, realising that she was accidentally a tankie, and converting to rainbow monarchism.

If the show were any good, Swiftwind would have impaled Glimmer on his horn and then he and Adora would have gone and formed an ACTUAL resistance with Huntara, Double Trouble, Seahawk, and Scorpia. Bow can come too if he quits being a class traitor.

Then they can go roaming around Etheria assassinating royals and leading the people to freedom, while recruiting Horde defectors. Outreach to the working class would have been a lot easier without the royals tagging along, and Hordak wouldn't have had all his robots if the purple haired abuser were dead. The only serious obstacle remaining is Shadow Weaver.

Anyway I hate monarchaganda. Go watch Owl House or Steven Universe or Infinity Train or Dead End instead. You don't need royals and Mattel to make a good show for queer kids.

The Horde was Imperialist, not revolutionary. It was also anti-environmentalist.

Aww shit, here we go again.

The whole point of Adora's arc is rejecting her destiny and expectations of the crown, instead doing what makes herself happy(gay with the cat). The royalty set up to control the planet's magic is the origin of a lot of their problems, and rejecting the sanctity of those hierarchical institutions is kinda a thing they had to do. However, it has princesses fighting a colonial enemy rather than a pure working class organization, so it's basically saying that monarchy is based!

I'm so fucking sorry that a show based on a property created to sell toys isn't ideologically perfect. I'm so fucking sorry a show that couldn't explicitly put the main characters in a relationship until the last episode couldn't wave a communist flag its entire runtime. Let's ignore the fact that if it pushed the envelope any harder, it probably would've been taken away from the creators.

Out of all the shows you listed, 2 got cancelled, 1 had the writers fired, and only Steven Universe actually came out mostly intact. In order for any queer shows to get made, they need to make huge compromises with the oligarchs, and plenty of other shows don't make it. Some become the opposite of what they started off as, many get cancelled, and far more never get made at all. It's a painful fact that major IPs are legally made by nonhuman entities, and that every person who actually crafts those stories are only employees who helped the company in creation.

So if you actually hate Mattel and want to enjoy one of the gayest shows that actually got finished, go pirate She-Ra. Afterall, piracy is the only way to experience it at this point.

Average She-Ra discourse

[–] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not trying to defend monarchy in general, but the specific monarchical system on that planet has much better material conditions for the proletariat than the horde. Trying to fight the horde and the monarchy at the same time would just lead to the horde winning. Toleration of the monarchy was a necessary evil. This reflects real life where collaborating with liberals is often needed to fight fascism.

After the show ended though adora should have gotten to work ending the monarchy though.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think that's true. At the start of the series, Mermista had lost all of her political power by being a bad ruler. So Adora helped Mermista get her subjects back, and then had access to Mermista's subjects as allies. She could have just skipped the middleman and recruited the ocean people directly. Same goes for Dryl, they could have rescued/recruited the servants and then left. They didn't need that purple haired abuser, she was a force for evil the whole time.

Life is Strange has that vibe kinda

[–] tr0xy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which one? (I played none of them yet)

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The first one i guess? I don't know about any other ones...

[–] tr0xy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_with_LGBTQ_characters?wprov=sfla1 Seems most are and the one is gay. Didn't know Max is bi. Bought it but never played it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for research of course....? ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Other than She-Ra, I think Mage and the Demon Queen, Please Bully Me Miss Viallainess, Shimeji Simulation, Superwomen in Love! Honey Trap and Rapid Rabbit, and The Executioner and Her Way of Life all fit the bill.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, too.
