currently reading WataOshi vol. 3 bonus stories for the first time (SPOILERS AHEAD), and i gotta say:
somehow, this books take on queer representation is a perfect blend of "Everyone is Gay" escapist fantasy, and the depiction of how harsh and cruel reality can be for LGBT people
Yes, Claire and Rae get to have a wedding and their own kids, with fully supportive parents/in-laws. And Yes, everyone from thier friend group (except for like, two dudes) ends up being incredibly queer
But also...
the story does not pretend this world is all rainbows and sunshines for LGBT people, just becuase its a yuri romance. The world at large is still either ignorant, or openly hostile towards non-cishet people. The state and the church dont legally recognize Rae & Claire as married, even though everyone who knows them does.
Inori's depiction of LGBT issues manages to simultaneously be realistic, AND incredibly optimistic, and i absolutely love her for it

Oh no you mean the boys couldn't connect with a superhero movie where there are 3 superheroes but none of them are men? And two of them are not white and one is not even Christian. Oh I am shocked. Especially when the powerful antagonist is also not white male. You don't say. And the supporting roles have men but one is black and the other is Asian and rest are muslims?! So cruel!!! And even the lab tech minions are black and brown ?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There ARE MORE CATS THAN WHITE MAN?! I am shocked? Shocked that they hate it. Must be the bad acting of Oscar winning lead and critically acclaimed directors fumbling, can't be anything else. Am sure all the reviews are unbiased. So sad.

Vaggie and Charlie are not the "starightest" lesbians you all just associate the lgbt community with oversexualization and abusive behavior. That's a you problem. Leave my favorite vanilla lesbians alone.

She spends all her time with you, has every possible intimate moment you can imagine with you, then leaves you for a random boy she has zero chemistry with.

Vaggie is such a lovable dork when her and Charlie aren’t around other people.
I hope we can get more private Chaggie moments like this cause she’s so adorable when it’s just the two of them.
Vaggie is as much of a lovable dork as Charlie is…they are both lovable dorks
