Yuri on Ice was such a life changing anime, especially to have experienced in real time waiting for those episodes to drop every week. It was an open acknowledgment and love letter to queerness, to valuing and creating art, to loving yourself and loving those around you and it鈥檚 no surprise that it had such a large impact on those who watched it. Not to mention how stunning it was to be presented with an open letter to queer love during a time where same sex marriage and gender equality was still a very hot and controversial topic. It鈥檚, in its own way, nestled itself into history.
It may not be in the way we all expected or hoped, but see you next level.
....PEOPLE THINK OTAYURI ISN'T CANON? THEY THINK IT'S AN ENTIRELY FANON SHIP? WHAT? DID WE WATCH THE SAME ANIME? DID WE WATCH THE SAME WELCOME TO THE MADNESS?
DID WE NOT WATCH THE SAME WELCOME TO THE MADNESS??? PEOPLE THINK THAT IT'S JUST FANON? WHAT?? WHAT? I'M SO SHOCKED
