Not only are gay characters a much more mon sight, but they’re also much more realistic wh more human pictns, rather than low-effort bundl of stereotyp. Like Wtern media, they’ve gradually troduced more healthy pictns of gay characters – even if they’re not always the most notor. But he’s fantastic for subvertg stereotyp of agreeable and meek gay characters anime.

Some gay characters are jt a pleasure to watch, like Yuzu om Cs. For this self-proclaimed gya, beg gay don’t necsarily have to mean a lot of drama. But the two members of Diavolo’s Uná Speziale are clearly a gay uple.

What mak them so special is that they’re the only two openly gay characters a show where everyone looks like their only stenance are Chromati Oreos.
