I'm not in the Black Butler fandom but I've heard an account on this site say the creator(?) Of black butler is a pedophile and homophobic. I'm not sure if it's true or not though. They might just be trying to make the fandom look bad.
Dear Anon,
What makes this fandom look bad is the fandom itself. I am not sure about other fandoms, but the Kuroshitsuji fandom for one is filled with self-righteous, compulsive liars who make up ‘facts’ to legitimise their own ideas.
To answer your question; no, to the best of our knowledge Toboso Yana is NOT a confirmed pedophile, nor homophobic. Of course one might make a case out of how eroticising and fetishising children or homoromanticism/sexuality is a form of pedophilia/homophobia, but that’s an altogether different can of worms which I refuse to touch.
Lending your ask as opportunity, allow me to compose a small FAQ here.
Tumblr media
Kuroshitsuji FAQ
Tumblr media
1. Was Kuroshitsuji supposed to be a yaoi?
No. The short version of the answer is as such:
Square Enix does not publish any yaoi or explicit content.
Yana already had her own yaoi/BL associated artist name Yanao Rock. It would be very foolish to start a BL-themed manga using her official artist name Toboso Yana which she is trying to keep separate from Yanao Rock.
The rumour of Kuroshitsuji supposed to have been BL only exists in the Western fandom.
The detailed answer can be found here, here and here.
Tumblr media
2. Is Sebaciel canon?
No. For the purpose of marketing Yana has neither confirmed nor denied the truth of this statement, because it obviously sells. But if you study the interaction between the characters, it is clear as day that they would not be romantically interested in one another, because 1. Sebastian does not like slavery, or enjoy dating cattle, and 2. O!Ciel is too traumatised. When push came to shove (in the Emerald Witch Arc) he would not even let Sebas near him.
A thorough analysis of their relationship can be found in this post.
Although Yana has said nothing, Editor K, the second highest authority on this series, has confirmed that there is no affection between master and servant.
Tumblr media
“【The foundation of Kuroshitsji no. 16】 The butler is a demon and   competent and loyal. However, there is no affection for his   master. [Sebastian] supports his master in his revenge as a butler, but the nature of the contract is one where he will eat the soul after the completion [of the revenge]. The contract is the only reason [Sebastian]  works so hard, he is a perverted gourmet. #Kuroshitsuji”
Tumblr media
3. Is it alright to ship Sebaciel because Yana’s material endorses it?
Does Yana’s material casually portraying murder make murder less severe a problem?
An author is human too, even IF an author thinks of something as acceptable, we as readers need to consider what is right or wrong. Most classic literature/media actively promote sexism, racism, etc.; but it does not mean we should follow those ideas. “[Person] does it, so I can do it too” is Trump’s or a 5 year old’s argumentation style.
Tumblr media
4. Is Grell Sutcliff a man or a woman?
Grell Sutcliff is a transgender woman. Besides Grell’s own claims, Yana herself too has confirmed her statement in text.
Tumblr media
“Ah, but this time after the completion of the script, I had a request to Grell’s actor Mr. Uehara. “Could you please [play her] as a strong woman”, I said (laughs) In the original comics, Grell does not make an appearance between the Red Butler Arc and the Luxury Liner Arc, and therefore people often think she is useless at her job. So I asked [Mr. Uehara] to please portray her as a career woman in front of her kouhai (younger colleague, aka Ronald)” 【Toboso】
Here is an entire Masterpost on gender in Kuroshitsuji, and here a detailed history of how Yana has been owning up for her mistake of portraying Grell in a problematic manner.
Tumblr media
4.5 Did Yana not say Grell is male?
Yana has never said and meant that Grell is a man.
Tumblr media
Yana did write on her old blog: “yes, Grell is a man, but has the heart of a maiden” (Toboso, 2010).  That however, was the lack of accurate terminology in Japanese for a transgender woman from a decade ago. Transgender studies have developed entirely differently than within Euro-American discourse. As such, holding Yana’s words from 10 years ago accountable as accurate NOW in the English speaking community would be Euro-Americentrist at best.
Tumblr media
5. Is O!Ciel’s real name Astre/Noel/Merde?
No, Yana has confirmed that none of the three main characters’ names (Sebastian, O!Ciel and Undertaker) have been revealed yet. And indeed, Undertaker’s name is therefore also not ‘Adrian Crevan’ as has been claimed often times.
Click here for more details.
Tumblr media
6. Is the anime canon?
No, the only part Yana had in the anime were the first few episodes of the first season that were directly based on her manga, and the visual designs of some characters. Yana herself does not even seem to like the anime, let alone consider it ‘part of her canon’. Besides, the anime actively DEFIES her canon.
Click here and here for more details.
Tumblr media
7. Is the second musical ‘the Most Beautiful Death in the World’ canon?
No, just like the anime, the only part Yana played in this musical is the visual designs of the characters. The characters however, are written by the Kuromyu creative team.
Tumblr media
“RT @toboso_official: When I was watching kuromyu・A Thousand Souls, I really thought: “Eric and Alan are characters I could never have created from scratch…” (No offense meant!) I was responsible for the visual designs, but the characters were born from the writing by Ms. Okada, the directing by Fukuyama-sensei, and finally, by the actors.”【Toboso】 
Click here for the mini masterpost on this musical, and to understand how this musical is homophobic, transphobic, pedophilic on top of defying Yana’s canon.
Tumblr media
If there are other things that would belong on this FAQ list, feel free to let me know! I hope this helps.
BUT HONESTLY PEOPLE; STOP MAKING UP CLAIMS!!!!!!!! Sometimes we just don’t know things, and it is alright! If your theory does not have confirmation (yet) or is actively defied, WELL, SUCK IT UP!

I used to write some long stuff from time to time, but never like this
Reasons to smile chapter 10 (Kuroshitsji) - 9382 words Reasons to smile chapter 12  - 9208 words
Take me back to the sky that I’ve never seen chapter 2 (Shingeki no Kyojin) - 11629 words When your way is the only way chapter 3 (The Umbrella Academy) - 11183 words
I do know why and how though. Mandatory  Dresden by @hedera-helixwriteseruri​ reference because yes, it rubbed something off in me and I’m so glad it did.

Hello!I think your blog is great and I love your clear attitude.I have seen some questions about Sebaciel.Actually, the Sebaciel shipping is very controversial alongside Asian fans,too.I don't really in favor of this ship, but I believe that in season 1 and 2, also the ovas and MBD, there are much yaoi tendency, not only about Sebby and Ciel, but also about Claude and Alois, Eric and Alan, etc.And the staffs(mostly岡田麿里and清水博之)always try to explain the relationship of Sebby and Ciel somewhat yaoi
【Related post】
Dear Lorenzo151,
Hello! Thank you for your kind words!
Yeah indeed, there are discussions about the appropriateness of SebaCiel in Japan too, for example. Just like in the English speaking fandom, there are people who argue that it’s just fiction, so it’s fine, while others are of the opinion that it is a perverse sexualisation of children.
The main difference between the Japanese fandom and non-Japanese fandom SEEMS to be that the Japanese one does not have the false rumour going on of ‘Kuroshitsuji’ originally being yaoi, or intended as one. I think most if not all Japanese audiences of the series see that the teasing is there. However, most also agree that those are just ‘teasings’, and not implications of true feelings.
Obviously wishful thinking in shipping is universal, so the same applies to some in the Japanese fandom as well. But then Editor Kuma’s list of facts about ‘Kuroshitsuji’ surely did make it very clear that Sebaciel is not canon.
Tumblr media
“【The foundation of Kuroshitsji no. 16】 The butler is a demon and   competent, that is the truth. However, there is no affection for his master. [Sebastian] supports his master in his revenge as a butler, but the nature of the contract is one where he will eat the soul after the completion [of the revenge]. The contract is the only reason [Sebastian]  works so hard, he is a perverted gourmet. #Kuroshitsuji ” - Editor K.
As for the anime… well. The anime made a lot of choices to appeal to a broader audience (click here for an example about Grell). The most obvious choice was to make Sebastian manlier, more gallant and mature. The voice actor Ono Daisuke was explicitly instructed to play up the suave and emotionless side of the demon, and it worked like a charm for many people.
Tumblr media
Q: What is the difference between the time of first season and the current production (Book of the Atlantic)?
Ono: “I feel more at ease playing him now. I was instructed to play Sebastian dispassionately with a low, low voice, and do my utmost best not to show any emotions. As such there really was a part of me that suffered. But this time his bond with Ciel has also gone a step forward and the enemies are also stronger, so I feel like I am finally able to release something in me that I’ve been made to suppress. During the acting I am now able to feel the passion, it’s like a treat to me.” - Ono Daisuke.

Despite its popularity, ‘Kuroshitsuji’ is still not considered part of the mainstream world, like ‘One Piece’ or ‘My Hero Academia’ are. The airing time of ‘Kuroshitsuji’ was incredibly late, and so the series catered to a more niche audience. The target audience of the animated series were late teens and young adults who could afford to stay up very late at night to watch the series. Many of these people were yaoi fans. By the time the second season was released, the manga already had a very steady fanbase, and it was mostly the more shipping-inclined fans that stuck around for the anime. Hence the second series greatly catered to the hormon- uh I mean those fans’ tastes. Season II basically shouted: “You like Sebaciel but it’s not enough? Then worry not, have ANOTHER demon and child master-servant relationship for you to ship!!”
As we all must have noticed, there became a rather large divide between anime fans and manga fans of ‘Kuroshitsuji’.
Okada Mari is someone who seems to be very large on fan-service as evidenced by many things I discussed in the posts listed in this mini masterpost. Now, who is better suited for the job of catering to BL fans than her?

Sphere Music Hall = ‘safe space’.
Brainwashed guests = angry students/SJWs angry that Sebastian violated their ‘safe space’.
