yes and then there's also the people who will accuse you of being a creep for caring about it as an adult. which is so...soo... so conservative of them

i have some self awareness i know it's a little "cringe" to outsiders how much i care about and talk about soriku but it's important to me because it feels so intentional and earnest. i am rooting for the team and hope they get to do something unprecedented

Show Post

yes actually there are both queer middle aged japanese people and also middle aged japanese people that care a lot about queer people. ive seen the argument you're talking about before and it's infuriating! and people who say it act like you're delusional for having hope or being earnest lol

Show Post

sorry lol for the ramble but im so sick of how the shipping respectability politics about the whole canonical soriku thing is chock full of internalized homophobia and weird racism model minority stuff. its cool if you dont agree but the amount of conservative arguments is weird

Show Post

i feel like in conversations about soriku being 'intentional' theres this distinct argument that 'its definitely not intentional, do you think middle aged japanese people would write queer subtext on purpose'. because yes actually. on account of all the queer middle aged japanese people
