this is almost certainly a troll, but it still caused me physical pain, so it deserves to be shared
also, kotaro uchikoshi seems pretty cool. the thread links to some of his good tweets

It's hilarious how weebs project everything they like onto Japan to the point of ignoring actual Japanese people who don't fit their fantasy.
if you look at his original tweet there are a bunch of people going "non-binary people don't exist in japan" and uchikoshi, a japanese man, saying stuff like
and then they try to explain to him that actually he's wrong, and they know more about japan than him
Absolute fucking legend coming in with the offer of emotional support and then the Sartre quote: https://nitter.exp.farm/Uchikoshi_Eng/status/1554731556920762368#m
very calmly explaining to all the awful people talking to him that gender is a social construct
I think I've heard of more enby celebrities from Japan than binary transpeople.
who all are you thinking of?
Now that I'm on the spot I can only remember Hikaru Utada and the singer in QUEEN BEE. Don't have tine to look them up rn but I've seen a few articles talking about how androgynous styles/aesthetics are becoming more popular and more people are identifying as X-Gender. Schools in Tokyo are also loosening their dresscode so that uniform genders are no longer strictly enforced and you can pick from 3 options now.
i could only think of hikaru utada and yuhki kamatani. should have remembered queen bee. i've read a bunch of stuff about x-gender people but i couldn't remember much, i was mostly just curious who you were thinking of
Yuu Watase (creator of Fushigi Yuugi and Ceres, Celestial Legend) also recently came out as x-gender!
"No... No! How can this country that produces so much dick girl porn not believe exclusively in traditional Western gender expression?!"
the amount of people who first encountered gender/sexuality outside the cishet western norm in anime has got to be pretty high
especially when some of the biggest early anime included :ranmao: and :hentai-free:, which are both queer enough to have completely blown some peoples minds in the 90s
what is the second image
makoto from sailor moon
thanks!
It still baffles me how many chanlords jack it to "futa" cartoons but violently hate trans people and for that matter people with dyed hair or basically anyone that might even slightly resemble what they otherwise jack it to.
I file it under the same phenomenon as homophobic republican senators getting their dicks sucked in an airport bathroom by a man.
