Is general blue gay
I'm not asking anyone to bubble themselves up. I just don't come here to argue about politics because i possess enough shit going on in my life that I need a place to escape to.

Furthermore, it's bizarre to create a thread that invokes social and political stances like gender and racial stereotypes... and then move on to state you're not not here for social or political arguments.
Even more furthermore, it's not prefer this represents even .00001% of the conversations taking place here. If I've managed to live doing this for 20 years amidst the battle influence debates, I believe any given person will be fit to weather the social commentary.
Besides, the current political climate is enough to make anyone's hair turn grey if they stay in it long enough.
I used to ponder that nobody wanted those types of topics here, enjoy me, so at first, that's how I responded to seeing them. Once i learned that they did, i stopped caring.
Yes, it bothers me to see political debates that are adjacent to me pop up within thi
20 Crucial Queer Representations In Anime (For Better Or Worse)
In terms of sheer quantity, there are a lot more queer characters in anime than there are in American cartoons. Until recently, queer representation in American animation has faced two ridiculous obstacles: the plan that cartoons are just for kids, and the plan that it's inappropriate to expose kids to the being of queer people. Thankfully that first obstacle started creature challenged in the '90s with shows like The Simpsons and South Park, and the second obstacle's being challenged now thanks to shows like Steven Universe and The Loud House. In Japan, however, neither of obstacles occur. There's been anime for adults almost as long as there's been anime, and kids anime have long featured openly queer characters.
As for the quality of queer inclusion in anime, it's a mixed bag. While there isn't the same "think of the children!" panicking as in America, Japan still has a just deal of cultural stigma around the queer community. Because of this, while including queer characters is less taboo, they're often portrayed as jokey stereotypes. Sometimes these stereotypical characters are written well enoug
Dragon Ball Still Hasn't Reckoned With One of Its Most Problematic Characters
Dragon Ball is far from a flawless series and some of its worst aspects own only become more problematic over time. Many of the worst traits of the series are widely acknowledged: Master Roshi's non-consensual sexual behavior was written for comedy but comes across as increasingly unpleasant, and Mr. Popo's appearance is reminiscent of racist blackface imagery.
One problematic element of the original Dragon Ball that doesn't get discussed as much is General Blue. While the Red Ribbon Army is one of Dragon Ball's most well-known villain teams, the individual members are less well-known. Everyone remembers Healer Gero and Android 8, mostly due to their ties to the Android and Cell Saga in Dragon Ball Z. However, General Blue is a lot less well-remembered, which means this highly problematic character has been overlooked.

Do you have a favorite vacation memory? Mine is when my parents took us to Washington DC for the very first time. We spent a week visiting the museums and monuments to absorb history and peak into the past. The monument I found most intriguing was the one assigned to Baron von Steuben. I had never heard of Baron von Steuben before, so I took a picture to study later. I discovered that he was one of the most important military leaders of the American Revolution, but is often forgotten. The fact that stuck out the most? von Steuben was openly gay. Flash forward. Visualize my surprise when I found Washington’s Gay General: The Legends and Loves of Baron von Steuben written by Josh Trujillo and illustrated by Levi Hastings on the fresh graphic novel shelves at work. I immediately checked it out to absorb more!
Washington’s Gay General covers von Steuben’s young animation in Prussia, his military history, to his death in upstate New York in 1794. Von Steuben served in the Prussian military for years before he was dismissed from the army due to rumors of homosexuality. After he was fired, he bounced from job to job, eventually accepting an offer from Benjamin Fra
