NETFLIX'S EVANGELN TRANSLATN HURTS A CLASSIC GAY ROMANCE
Is Shji gay? Do you guys thk Shji is Gay? A bunch of people the ments were sayg that if you thought this way then you're homophobic which is absolutely ridiculo to me.
To me feels more like he's shipped bee of the meme (Shji + this toxic girl/the girl that's basilly his mother/the gay one lol) rultg of the shippg. Netflix’s biggt and most troublg ed to the show, for which the platform created a new English-language translatn and voice track, dials back s famo homoerotic subtext.
The new Netflix translatn waters down the homoerotic nature of one of the seri’ signifint relatnships. Now, 24 years after Eva first buted 1995, the new, official Netflix translatn of the anime has signifintly altered some of Kawo and Shji’s most famo teractns to be ls, well, gay. Shji then rejects Kawo wh some good old-fashned gay panic:.
A TRANSLATN CHANGE CAN'T MAKE THAT EVANGELN SCENE LS GAY
The homoerotic nature of Kawo and Shji’s bond has been well tablished sce the seri first aired, and has been prent throughout later stallments the anchise. But -gayg the characters shouldn’t be part of the procs.
Many fans argued that the more explicly romantic relatnship between the two was both an important part of the story, and of Shji's character velopment; and as such Netflix changg the scene was harmful to the story, if not also homophobic. Kawo Nagisa (渚 カヲル Nagisa Kawo) is a gay character om Neon Genis Evangeln. Is Shji om Evangeln gay?
The Netflix translatn also n't remove the homoerotic energy of Shji and Kawo's relatnship. The ial stct might be to assume Netflix was tryg to "no homo" the episo, but homophobic motiv seem ls likely when you nsir that a non-bary actor, Casey Mongillo, plays Shji the new dub, and that streamg service's library is filled wh LGBTQ-clive programmg. Given how obvly gay the scene reads to my adult, fully out bisexual self, I have to agree wh the cricisms.
