Yuri on ice is it gay

In episode 7 of Yuri on Ice, our main characters kissed — with an obscuring caveat — but as I’d argue with most sports anime, kissing is probably the least gay thing that happens. I feel. Are they very obviously gay and in love with each other: yes. It's not queerbait. It may not be as overt as some would hope but it's far from subtext. Their romance is very clear through their actions and there is no room for doubt.

That's as much as I can say without delving into spoilers. One of the things too many fans of Yuri on Ice!!! talk about is that the anime is a Boys’ Love anime or a gay anime. In fact, it is neither. Neither can the anime be called yaoi or a shounen-ai. In the wake of Yuri!!! On Ice, Jacob Chapman surveys LGBT characters throughout anime to explore what "representation" for the gay community really looks like in this medium.

Since Yuri on Ice doesn’t treat a BL couple as a weird one or a special one, there isn’t any drama that follows every other BL series. You won’t find countless “Oh my god, am I gay?” mental torments. I don't really care if this anime is gay, but Phichit-kun has blessed my soul in the purest way and that's what we should talk about. It is very obvious that they are true friends.

Like Yuri, I was nervous and doubted myself. What would two men acting as a couple look like to you? Haven't watched it yet, but if it is like Free i will make the assumption it is just queerbait. Bowie said: If you've seen discussions on it then why bother making more? Honestly, just because they are in the hot springs together doesn't mean they love each other, it's common in Japan for males and females to do that.

Already have a WordPress. Design a site like this with WordPress. Yuri idolized Victor and longed to be like him. Is victor the feminine one or Yuri?

They literally kissed in episode 7. Acrobat to acrobat relationships, and coach to athlete relationships. There was something else that made me reluctant to accept Viktor and Yuuri, if they will eventually become lovers. Homoesexuality in Yuri!!! Also two men CAN be close friends and not be seen as gay. Exactly my thoughts, if this turns out genuine gay and not some kind of "I accidently kissed him and I liked it" imma go and never return to this site.

There's a lot to work with between Yuri and Viktor's interactions, like the promise rings in front of the church and Viktor literally calling them engagement rings. Very gay. Thanks for stopping by my blog! When they moved to America, they brought the culture of their birth country with them, including the good, the weird, and the ugly. Yet Yuri!!!

The fanbase is pretty cancerous. I did enjoy the show because it brought back good memories, but I was frustrated with how they tampered with the beauty of the coach athlete relationship. Lol the discourse this thread is taking tho. Please help us pay more people to make great content!
