I'm watching the new season of that Wind Breaker show, it's pretty mediocre but I like fighting anime/manga and school shit so it's ok.
In one of the fights the pink haired metrosexual guy tells the guy he's fighting that being graceful and feminine aren't synonymous anymore or something like that. Pretty minor, but also pretty gay.
But I remembered that one of the school's team captains or whatever looked like a tranny and decided to look it up. And yeah he is. I don't know if they used the word tranny, the wiki says the author says he's a man. But it's kind of jarring to me to see this shit in a mainstream shounen show. I know Japan has always had some weird sexual shit, but I'm curious how common this has become now. I remember a couple times where gays or cross dressers were played for laughs, but I don't remember much of it being normalized, but I don't watch or read as much as anime/manga as I used to.
Yeah idk, I remember them more being acknowledged as weird and they'd play it off as a joke when they made a character uncomfortable or something. Not here's a dude dressed as a woman, he likes makeup and girls clothes, it's normal, you should accept it. Feels like western faggotry rather than Japan's unique brand of degeneracy
