Hi guys, do you know any shows with relevant lesbian or bisexual characters that are either really good, or just older than 10 years… (The show, not the characters) Alternately, just some shows which are a little more LGBT focused than the “Standart”?
I wouldn’t call RWBY a good example. First, it goes downhill after season 3. Second, the relationship you’re referring to was only added in due to fans continually demanding it just from the two merely looking at each other in season 1.
And before you start to argue the second point: Monty Oum created the show. If you want a leg to stand on, go find evidence of him claiming the relationship was intended from the start. And please don’t give me a quote from Miles Luna, he’s the one that drove the show into the ground
I get what you are saying, but Bumbleby was planned from the beginning. You can say the early seasons were meh (which in some ways they were, in terms of the animation not being great) but it DOES get better as it goes along.
Big claims require proof.
I remember the CRWBY talking about it when Bumbleby was confirmed in Volume 9, along with the voice actors themselves, in interviews like this. I admit it could have been better done, but the fact is that it was done.
The voice actors aren’t the writers, and the original writer, Monty Oum, died between Vol 2 and 3. If anyone is the authority of whether Yang and Blake were supposed to end up together, it’s him. All you’ve linked to is testimony from years after Monty’s death. That’s not trustworthy evidence. The voice actors could have easily been lying.
Meanwhile, there’s plenty of evidence of the fanbase pressuring Rooster Teeth over this since season 1, just go sift through r/RWBY. Occam’s Razor says that the replacement heads of the project caved to the fans and lied about his plans. It’s not lile there isn’t plenty of evidence of RT employees being untrustworthy people
That’s a big leap to think that the voice actors are lying. I wouldn’t buy that. If the fanbase pressured Rooster Teeth, that is a good thing. I can’t really sift through /r/RWBY as I have no account on Reddit anymore. As I said in another comment, I do still like seasons 1-3, but I do still believe the show got better as it went along.
Caving into the pressure of lesbian fetishists is not a good thing.
Let’s look at the opposite situation: if you have 2 gay-coded characters in a series, and the fans successfully pressure the show producers into making them straight, would that be that a good thing?
Don’t bother answering. Nobody is going to read this at this point and you’re getting blocked for wasting my time
