#but im sort of writing these essays in the tags rn lol

[heartslobbf]

queer representation peaked with revolutionary girl utena because the show manages to deliver a nuanced portrayal of so many varied queer experiences through its characters without once restricting or rigidly defining them. it’s a show about adolescence— for that reason i think the one aspect of queer experience it misses out on is that of elder queers, adult queers, queers who don’t realise they’re queer until later in life, though you could argue the majority of the cast’s inability to reckon with their queer identity alludes to that— where none of its characters are able to define or recognise themselves as…… whatever. they’re all ‘up to interpretation’ but in this amazing flexible capacity where i can say ‘all of the main cast are in some way trans’ and someone else can say ‘utena is a cis woman’ and both can be fascinating interpretations of the text. revolutionary girl utena is a show that touches every single queer person in giving them something to see themselves in, but it is also an exercise in seeing the ‘other’, and therefore encourages you to challenge what you would be most comfortable seeing; and i think in our age of hellscape discourse, the queer community could really do with a dose of ‘i don’t understand the nuances of your identity but that doesn’t matter because my understanding has no bearing on your existence or right to respect’. again, respect and compassion in the absence of understanding is a core value that the show encourages. ikuhara you genius. i love gay people

#revolutionary girl utena #the only character that isn’t up to interpretation is juri but i don’t think her definite lesbianism diminishes this #like first of all her gender is super interesting and second. her role is so enhanced by being a lesbian if juri wasn’t a lesbian + #her character wouldn’t work in the way that it does #like there is no queer identity that is ‘integral’ to understanding any other character juri is the exception to that #< and in having her as that exception it makes her sooooo interesting esp when comparing to her fellow freaks #tbh i would argue pretty hard that reading some characters in certain ways is…. a Reach but like you get what im saying #ppl who argue the cast r cishet r silly tho like. could do essay after essay about how queerness in rgu is impossible to ignore #but im sort of writing these essays in the tags rn lol #shut up daisy #rgu
