fuck it heres full context to this clip i posted a little while ago bc the whole scene is super funny and the most unnecessarily dramatic thing ever. enjoy
A lot has been made of Alex as gay representation, but I havenāt really seen anyone talk about what he does for stereotypes of anxiety.
Every performance narrative I have ever seen that attempts to depict anxiety, in books, tv, movies, whatever, has the anxious performer anxious about performing. Sometimes itās depicted as a hurdle to overcome; sometimes the character running to the bathroom to puke is played for laughs. ALWAYS it is stage fright.
Iām a performer, and part of the reason I am is that I learned early on that the stage is the only place where Iām not anxious. Onstage, I am in control. The audience is here for me, they canāt judge or scold or shun me unless I let them, and at the end of the night they go home. If we ever meet again, itās because they liked my work and want more. It is a level of control over interaction that cannot be replicated in anything more intimate, and so a level of relief that I donāt know how to describe to people who havenāt experienced it.
Alex loves music. He genuinely expresses a desire not only to play, but to perform and become famous from it. Heās never afraid of a show. Do you realise how huge that is? Anxiety that doesnāt follow every non-anxious personās favourite, easy-to-relate-to narrative? As a kid my anxiety was constantly invalidated becauseĀ āyouāre a dancer, how could a conversation scare you when you go up onstage all the timeā - or, alternately, people would infantilise me come showtime because they couldnāt be bothered to listen when I said I was fine.
Alex isnāt afraid to perform. Nobody treats Alex like glass around shows. He jumps into improvisation as easily as his non-anxious bandmates. There is no anxious character who has ever made me feel more seen and understood in this regard than Alex Mercer, and I think thatās worth talking about
It is funny that the wording Mineta used is usually used for romantic confessions (and the viz english translation really showed that) but he definitely just Big Respects and admires Midoriya. So, he's not canonically bi (thank fuck)
Also additional clarifications from a Japanese fan:
