#which is why i characterize korekiyo with the mindset of 'fuck canon! let them be nonbinary bc he's nonbinary not for his sister'

[t0bey]

Weird confession but I’ve always felt uncomfortable with headcanoning korekiyo as non-binary without at least acknowledging that the gnc traits he displays in canon were either enforced upon him by his sister, or taken up in imitation of her, like... none of what he wears is even (necessarily) what he likes or enjoys but rather what she found sexually appealing on him

i can understand that being uncomfortable for people, personally as a nonbinary person i find comfort in hc'ing him as nonbinary, and that he likes to present however he wants regardless of his sister's influence.

Danganronpa's track record with lgbt characters isnt great (including characters that are written with transphobic rhetoric) and sadly korekiyo being gnc and is implied to like being called feminine falls into this regarding his circumstances. But similar to my view of Chihiro, i personally pick and choose the canon circumstances of korekiyo being gnc and percieve him as genderfluid outside of his sister's influence

most people (esp nonbinary people) ive seen that headcanon korekiyo as nonbinary arent doing it out of disrespecting or romanticizing his trauma or force it on anyone so please don't assume its with ill intent

#ask #anon #its just a comfort thing as a nonbinary person and as a person who likes korekiyo #though i agree i wish danganronpa would be less weird about chihiro and korekiyo's way of expressing their femininity #which is why i characterize korekiyo with the mindset of 'fuck canon! let them be nonbinary bc he's nonbinary not for his sister'
