Can I Just Say How Hilarious I Find Revolutionary Girl Utena With Juri. Everyone Is Freaking Out Because

Can I just say how hilarious I find Revolutionary Girl Utena with Juri. Everyone is freaking out because “how could a girl be a prince” and “Utena is so weird she refuses to wear the female uniform this has never happened before” when Juri…exists? Juri has been duelling and not wearing the girl’s uniform for who knows how long and is not all that subtle in her general disdain for men (save for Miki but she seems to view him as more of a little brother or a cute puppy than a guy) and no one comments on it.

Like idk if there’s a reason for this that I’m not aware of, (and obviously there’s already a ton of sexism and homophobia in Ohtori) but everyone making such a huge deal over Utena ignoring gender norms when Juri exists is somehow hilarious to me. Like Juri exists on a separate plane of existence that sexism doesn’t apply to her. Or maybe she traded it in for additional internalized homophobia for her and Shiori. Idk.

Happy Pride to everyone!!

The Recloseted Lesbian. How To Open Jars

I have such mixed feelings when it comes to wlw media. On one hand, it’s often amazing and makes me want to believe in humanity and the power of love the way I did when I was a child.

On the other hand, 90% of the time some homophobic big-shot comes along and cuts it short and/or makes it so the creator has to wait til the last minute to make it canon so it doesn’t get cancelled early.

Or worse yet, wlws are used as a side character who are killed off as a plot device or their entire character is their sexuality and they have no personality otherwise.

I want the media and I will eat up every morsel, but I’ll hold back out of fear of it getting ripped away or ruined and I hate it.

Let me get this straight.

Anthy is in love with Utena who is in love with Anthy who is under the control of Akio who wants to control both of them. Saionji is homophobicly in love with Touga who is so misogynistic that he sleeps with men, namely Akio, multiple times (and is probably in love with Saionji) and they all want to control Anthy and/or Utena and mistake that need for control with love. Juri and Shiori are in love but Shiori has enough internalized homophobia for both of them. Wakaba is in love with Utena but in denial, Nanami’s internalized homophobia has convinced her she wants a man even though whenever a man pursues her she runs away. And all the while, save for the the beginning, Miki is just kinda there.

Did I miss anything?
