Hey remember this art? Luka having a bunch of kitties and a puppy? Do you think Viola grew up with them? Do you think she had a favorite? Do you think Luka or Bayo ever pestered her to feed the cats? Is this anything?????

Bayo 1 and 2: so Bayo would never enter a relationship with Luka because of his immaturity and mortality. Luka's distrust and subsequent harassment of her due to the misunderstanding over his father's traumatic death made him resent Bayo for unjustified reasons. In addition, Bayo seems to have a stronger bond with Jeanne, to the point of going to Hell for her at the cost of her own life.

Bayo 3: ...And that's why we're pairing her up with Luka and giving them a kid for no apparent reason!

Maybe this is just me but it makes me infuriated when a lot of people in the bayonetta fandom, specifically non queer people who will always comment ‘bayojeanne isn’t canon’ or that ‘they never had any romantic intentions’ in any bayojeanne post. I’ve seen more and more people diss on bayojeanne esp after the official art posted from platinum games and it’s just really tiring to always be excluded from many spaces as a lesbian. Please leave bayojeanne shippers alone

(It’s on sight when I see you platinum games)

Bayonetta 3 Validates Every Insecurity About My Life, Relationships, and Sexuality

Content Warning: Discussions of heteronormativity, violence against women, harassment campaigns, and anti-bodily autonomy sentiment

Spoilers for Bayonetta 3 

It is a special kind of devastation when a series has such a catastrophic ending that previous, beloved parts of the work become difficult to return to. Today’s go-to example for this kind of eleventh hour collapse is the television series Game of Thrones, which dropped in quality so steadily that its Kubrick stare of a viewing experience can only be encapsulated by a meme of a horse drawing.  Likewise in the world of anime, Wonder Egg Priority proved heart crushing when it turned out that, despite its promising start, the series wasn’t able handle topics like trauma and suicide with the level of nuance and care they merit.  

Much to my dismay, we can now add the Bayonetta games to this list. Developed by Platinum Games with series creator Kamiya Hideki acting as a supervising director, Bayonetta 3 fundamentally misunderstands the themes of the previous games and gives its beloved lead a soul-crushing send off.

Bayonetta 3 turns the titular kink-positive and queer icon into the victim of some of the most frustrating heteronormative tropes that women can suffer under. Bayonetta, who has been embraced as an inspirational figure for the kinky, the rebellious, the femme, and the queer, is reduced to a waspy woman who had a wild streak before settling down. What really rubs salt into this wound of an ending is that I can see my own life following a similar arc to Bayonetta’s, and I hate how appealing it is to me. Between my feelings about the ending of the third game, the drama surrounding its production, and the series’ long-standing controversies, I just felt drained as I watched Bayonetta 3’s credits roll. Which sucks, because the previous two games left me feeling nothing but energized and wanting to be a bolder, braver version of myself.

I'm just gonna blame BayoLuka for the destruction/extinction of the Bayonetta fandom.
