I really hope they get to redo it sometime and make the relationship more explicit (not explicit-as-smut but rather explicit-as-acknowledged) (Talking about Yuri on Ice!! for the benefit of the snipe 0

The director is explicit that she did the kiss that way because she wanted to.

If we made art more boring homophobes and idiots would still deny stuff is real. If you showed the kiss onscreen theyd talk about how it was a moment of pure passion, if you made them say they love each other theyd say it was meant platonically, if you literally showed them getting married theyd say it was a fantasy sequence because gay marriage isnt legal in japan So just let directors and stuff do what they want lol

i was annoy when the kiss wasn't on screen but "explicit" is not the right word to use here (like... they are literally kissing in that scene, its explicit) if you want the show to be magically redo make it less boring in the second half not more "explicit" Toalpaz posted:IM THE BEST JJ PLEASE REMEMBER ME THIS IS WHO I AM BAYB ABY jj.... he was the greatest

I forgot who the director was that said she never liked to show characters kissing in her series on screen, she'd usually cut to the feet, because she wanted to give the characters privacy. I mean that could not be further from Sayo yamamoto's way of rolling so not the case here but it's cute

Ahhh, is that so? I thought I had read it was an order from on high, but that honestly sounds much better lol. The other big thing is yes, they bought engagement rings, but iirc the show seemed to go out of it's way to avoid referring to it as such, as though it's providing plausible deniability.

it was maybe the show that broke me for caring about things being explicit, idr ultimately i think viktor and yuri are a pretty bad and boring couple at least in the majority of the show so it just transferred my negativity from something unreasonable to that instead. hope the movie manages to exist and be good

like its totally ok to not enjoy how a relationship is presented or whatever but like painting it as "this was about plausible deniability/a need to undercut its explicitness" the framing that devalues this thing you likeEndorph posted:'this is an engagement ring that i have bought because I am romantically attracted to you' wow, its like you step out of the big bang theory writing room Snooze Cruise fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Feb 29, 2020 |

I don't even know why this is being argued over; Yes, the word of the creator is that they are gay, in love, etc but it's not exactly controversial that there are people (beyond me) who see a superficially ambiguous presentation. quote:ike its totally ok to not enjoy how a relationship is presented or whatever but like painting it as "this was about plausible deniability/a need to undercut its explicitness" the framing that devalues this thing you like Now this is just putting words in my mouth. :/

Not to say that you're in the wrong for this case or that Victor and Yuri's relationship couldn't have been better done but like I do feel in general that there's this perception that gay relationships in media need to be 20 times more explicit to count. A guy and girl can blush at each other over a compliment and lots of people will generally assume that "oh yeah, this is a portrayal of romance or such" but that doesn't fly if it's two guys. It's not really anyone's specific fault, but it's kinda lame lgbt romance needs to jump through extra hoops to be real in some peoples eyes. I used to be the same but at some point I realised if something seems pretty gay chances are its intended to be gay.

It's being argued over because the need people have to argue down things that are very obviously queer that they like sucks. You are the person forcing ambiguity into this, not the show. starting from a baseline of 'how can this be proven to be gay?' is a trap forced on you by the heterosexuals.

you may reply that other gay people also think its ambiguous, but gay people are notoriously bad at understanding media, due to the shackles forced on them by the hets, who are even worse at it. only by accepting that kannazuki no miko is a good anime can we be free. god bless the usa.

But seriously, why are yall going after me so hard here and acting like its so controversial that I'd like to see a version of Yuri on Ice where it was a bit more affirmative that they were in a relationship? Like... Yeah, I am 'forcing' ambiguity on it-- that's how I am reading it. You, quite obviously, have a different reading 'forcing' unambiguity on it and that's ok! Different people have different viewpoints! That's how media analysis works!

Near as I can tell, it's not that they think it's ambiguous that it happened, it's that an obvious gay relationship had this annoying obfuscation over it, because that happens way too often to gay relationships in media in general and anime in particular. Yes, heterosexual romances can be subtle and indirect, but it can feel like gay romances can't be anything but. It's the difference between 'every gay relationship in anime should be more open and explicit' and 'there should be more open, explicit gay relationships in anime'. Not every gay romance has to be like the climax of REDLINE, but there's room out there for ones that are. For the record, I can see that YOI was doing a deliberate thing with its story about the nature of celebrity. Most of the show is presented through TV cameras, social media, and short, disconnected snippets of the characters' lives. Most of the development of Viktor and Yuri's relationship happens off-screen, and their kiss is blocked because the fictional 'camera' is at the wrong angle. It's an interesting exploration of our parasocial relationship with public figures, and how we piece together their personal lives from the fragments they give us, but I can totally see how it would be unsatisfying if you're looking for a conventional romance.

considering that they have engagement rings and a off-screen but extremely blatant kiss I'm not really sure what more you need to make it explicit like are we talking about adding an anal sex scene, or? I would not be opposed to the idea but that would make it a very different anime I feel like

although even then I feel like somebody would end up arguing that they're just platonic friends who enjoy having sex with one another sometimes because like what pair of bros wouldn't

That sounds incredibly interesting. it's incredibly unrepresentative of the show lol it's a sports anime about skating. there's also a bit of gay romance. it's not really anything more than that. and it doesn't really need to be imo. like you can definitely make that read I guess but like that would be a terrible way to describe the show.

I mean if you enjoy sports anime it's a pretty okay one. it made me excited about figure skating, which I did not care at all about before, and that's basically the single best indicator of a sport anime's quality.

it's basically at the point of parody. like people make jokes about how you can have two characters say I love you and kiss and get married but people will still say they aren't gay or the show wasn't gay enough. and that's basically what's happening in this thread lol
