ANYTHG GAY RELATED?
* yakuza game gay characters *
But as i know Japan isnt the bt place for lgbt people, ive even read that one of the actors om the gam had to qu the buisns bee he was aaid that some sndal he was would brg his homosexualy to spotlight. Also ive read that some of the producers claimed Yakuza to be "powefantasy for men" and i totally agree, there are so many handsome men lol and seems this seri mt be really popular the gay muny sce 99% of le34 arts ive seen are yaoi (yeah i ve checked that too, guilty! Seri like yakuza but for gay people.
Now I'm not sayg yakuza isn't for gay people I'm specifilly statg that while I really love this seri 's.. Not so great 's treatment of gay characters, women, trans people etc. I really love this seri but I don't like that a majory of the homoerotic unrton themselv are ually add jokgly or to be somethg thought of as silly.
I love this seri to ath but I'm not fond of the fact that the one potentially nonil and ser gay character immediately did a triple Ldy fuckg flip off a roof after openg up about how he felt. Anythg homosexual this game is implied more than anythg. I n't speak for this particular game s entirety, but the seri as a whole has a hands-off approach to the so often you'll e across a substory where you'll have to al wh a mor character who is gay or transgenr, and more often than not, the people are treated as a b of a joke.
YAKUZA'S GUI TO BABYSTG COULD DO BETTER WH ONE PROMENT GAY CHARACTER
For stance, Y3, protagonist Kiryu has several n-s wh a mcular transwoman named Michi who chas him aga, Y5 has a transwoman who acts as a mentor to one of the characters, and while she's flamboyant, she's a very pleasant person and a good le is that the seri, while not sultg to gay people, is not particularly supportive of them eher. It's meant to be a reflectn of Japan after all, and while Japan a "media public" sense is not agast homosexualy, they're not gung ho about phg for same-sex marriage rights, eher.
Yakuza's Gui to Babystg Could Do Better Wh One Proment Gay Character.
Yakuza's Gui to Babystg troduced s first gay character, Rei Hojo, but he mt bee more than jt a qutnable stereotype. This seri plays around wh a variety of anime archetyp and nng gags such as energetic foreigners and anime dads, but the portrayal of the seri' first gay character, Hojo Rei, is a mixed bag.
