okay no that’s it i cannot fucking believe people are still fucking saying this shit, this goddamn often. i am fucking DONE with seeing it.

vanitas no carte is not mother fucking queerbait.

it has multiple canon lgbt characters, as i have pointed out before, and a series that has multiple canon lgbt characters cannot fucking be classed as queerbait. bc if you fucking have lgbt rep, you’re not fucking being baited!

and no. vanoe’s current canon status is not a viable argument towards it being queerbait. at all.

the story is ongoing, and is honestly probably YEARS off of being finished.

if their current blatantly romantic coded status isn’t blatant enough for you, that is your own fucking problem. but it does not mean you get to fucking spread misinformation and disregard the canon rep it has given us.

vanitas no carte is an anime/manga series based in japan. which is a notoriously homophobic country. mochijun is working against a lot of restrictions to give us what she’s been giving us. especially since vnc is a shounen, and is not classed under any specific lgbt genre. we’re fucking lucky she has been able to get away with what she already has.

i am beyond tired of seeing her efforts being undermined & disregarded.

the world is not as progressive as you want it to be, and y’all sincerely need to fucking understand that. get a goddamn grip and learn what queerbait actually fucking is because vnc is not it, and painting it as such is just spreading harmful misinformation.

start valuing and appreciating the work that goes into giving us representation like vnc has.

because it is rare to have multiple lgbt characters who just get to be characters. not stereotypes. not tokens. fully fleshed out characters with complexity, and depth, and personalities, like actual fucking people, who get to be treated like actual fucking people in the story itself.

and the only way for rep like that to become common is to appreciate the work that goes into fighting for it to be produced, & supporting that work.

so seriously. genuinely. please stop fucking saying that vnc is queerbait bc it is not. and we won’t get another series like it if y’all keep fucking spreading that kinda misinformation.

ok? ok.

#vnc #vanitas no carte #vanoe #mines #im putting this in the tags so the ppl who spread this bullshit can see it.#but if you try to give me any shit on this post or in my inbox for it you are just getting blocked.#i've said all that needs to be said.#if you're still gonna try to argue after everything i've said then that's bc of *your own* issues that *you* need to sort out with yourself.#they're not my problem. & they sure as hell aren't mochijun's either.#sort them out on your own time.#same goes for anyone who tries to give me shit for the harsh tone or for the ppl who like to vague me when i speak out on this stuff.#i am genuinely at my fucking limit & i am tired of seeing a series that has given us so much being devalued & disregarded over bullshit.#i wish the world was more accepting & progressive but it isn't. & that NEEDS to be understood & considered when judging representation #otherwise we will never fucking get anything beyond the harmful bullshit we currently have to deal with so commonly.#creators who are fighting against those restrictions & doing what they can w/out having their series cancelled need to be raised up.#so that the people who put those restrictions in place can see the value in giving us respectful representation.#that a series can have lgbt characters who get to be ppl & not have it classed as around that solely/specifically #& still be successful.#that is the only way this shit can be overcome. so stop fucking pulling bullshit and fucking it up for everybody for FUCK'S sake oh my GOD.
