How do you find LGBTQ+ people are viewed in Japan? Is it safe to come out?

i think it’s a bit of a mixed bag

on the one hand, laws and civic setups are still pretty antiquated (gay marriage is only recognized in several cities, still very common for forms to provide man/woman as the only options for gender, etc) on the other hand, even as we move at a snail’s pace, ending discrimination is, in general, a publicly communicated goal for the country, and many big businesses have proactively adopted lgbtq+ friendly policies without waiting for the government (gender inclusive bathrooms and uniforms, access to family benefits for partners regardless of gender, etc).

there is definitely representation of a variety of lgbtq+ people in media both in fiction and also news/variety tv though it can get a bit trope-y at times especially with effeminate stereotypes. still, there is a history of gender swapping / adopted gender presentation in theater (kabuki, takarazuka), and many known famous historical figures having same sex suitors and confidantes, so i think that more than in some countries people are predisposed to the idea of gender as a concept and the existence of gay people who have done important things. its also not incompatible with religions indigenous to japan, so there’s not so much a “you’re going to hell” vibe to the prejudice, its more of a “why do you insist on being different” prejudice if that makes sense. not great but it could be a lot worse.

i was part of a lgbtq+ circle at university and a gay friend of mine told me there’s a phrase that goes something like “it’s okay to be gay as long as you have a wife and kids” so once again just this idea that older generations value maintaining a public face for the sake of the group, whereas gayness is considered a subculture or private part of oneself.

so i think in terms of coming out i think it really depends on your situation, like my understanding (based on the stories of japanese friends i have) is that in general you would closet during your school years to avoid potential bullying for being different (maybe be out to close friends) but it’s much easier to come out in university or to move to a bigger city as a young adult. easier to find your people. but you might be careful when dating and stick to places where you know gay people are. you might closet at your company as well depending on the industry, and it’s a bit of a don’t ask don’t tell vibe socially among strangers, but it’s not necessarily something you’d hide.. if that makes sense. in my case i flag at work and i definitely know lgbtq people because they flag too and i know they know im flagging. but we don’t really talk about it. we just vibe and are extra kind to one another.

in terms of if it’s “safe” i’d say once again it depends but that there’s less (not zero but less) of a physical safety issue than many countries. even so, irl harassment exists and internet harassment is also a thing especially for out public figures. you might hesitate to come out to family or friends just so as not to ‘upset the order of things’ or to chance making people you love uncomfortable. over time your parents might ask why you won’t marry or won’t have kids like so-and-so’s daughter or so-and-so’s son.. these social pressures and tensions, especially in important relationships, can lead to depression and because mental health is also not that progressively talked about here, this is the part that is most dangerous, in my opinion.

just as a footnote this is all my impression of the generation of my age group and the ones above it and i think things are a little more relaxed or open for the next generation. but i think it’ll take one or two more generations to get to the point where it is in the US where everyone’s like, out and proud and colorful at school and work and among strangers. so once again, it’s not great, but i feel like things could be a lot worse.

did you expect readers to obsess over Titan when you wrote TGWCTM?

I definitely made him an incredibly fuckable bad boy on purpose (megamind’d his ass) but no absolutely not it actually blows my mind that I invented a character that y’all wanna smash. it’s a true honor. and he is SO fun to write and spin dialogue for ugh. i’ve been having a blast with these drabbles. oh god and a big thank you to the anon who asked about how he would treat a girl he loves bc god that one has a special place in my heart it was so fun to write.

to celebrate that we’re finally in the double digits numbers I thought I’ll ask you something that I’m very curious about if you don’t mind 🫣 ignore me if you don’t feel like answering

Do you create your gifs in batches when you have more time and then schedule them or are you making them as you go? I’m posting a set just once a week and I cannot imagine the time and dedication YOU have to make them for every day 🥹💛 it’s still honestly blowing my mind and I’ll always admire you for that!

anyway, sending kisses 😘

hi julia !!!! first of all ily and thank u and i hope ur doing so well uwu

so usually i make them in batches + i save them in my drafts !!! i dont schedule them i just have to remember to post from my drafts every day tee hee which is why they come at weird times sometimes, it's usually when i'm out of work or something

i use my days off to make like a batch of 5-10 sets at a time, so i have enough sets to last between my days off (i only have 2 and i want to also enjoy my free time when i'm not at work so i don't put too much pressure on myself). but when i'm focusing on one video it's easy to just batch a bunch of clips together - makes coloring ten times easier, too !!!!

tysm for asking i hope u are having a good week !!!!!! double digits we are so close !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This was my participation piece for the @yuriolympics2023 ‘s first prompt, “Memory.”✌️

The fic covers things that will happen in Season 3 (including a theory that I’m treating as 100% canon tbh, lol) so if you’re not caught up with the manga, please keep that in mind :)
