hey twewy fandom here's your quick reminder that Beat being characterized as homophobic is leftover from the great yaoi age of the late 2000s when every male character who wasn't part of the pale twink duo sucking each other off was given the social sensibilities of a republican orc so 13 year olds could have someone to be uncharacteristically evil in their fanfics and give more conflict to a "forbidden/sinful" romance

#twewy #ntwewy #daisukenojo bito #look there's nothing wrong with conflict in stories but this was a real issue back in the day #people saw Beat's clothes and heard his accent and decided he was homophobic because “idk he just gives me those vibes”#bestie the vibes he's giving are predominantly black and lower class traits #the vibes you're getting are not “homophobic” they're subcultural would you just think about it for a sec #tell me which racial group created the skater subculture and created rock and hip-hop #then think really hard about why Beat got assigned the homophobe trait while Shiki got a pass for implying she wanted to watch joshneku fuc #twewy was progressive for its time but it's still an RPG from 2007 and its not perfect in how it handled queerness or racial divides #I'm kinda getting sick of people ignoring it
