forever-slytherin-pride: marblegreensreviews: See, in many modern animes, you’d probably get the protagonist to say something like, “Wha-WHAAAT? Uh, b-but we’re both girls! Shouldn’t you be giving this to a boy or something?” I really like how Usagi handles it. She’s not undermining the girl’s feelings and she’s taking her seriously. And while she doesn’t reciprocate, she offers her friendship instead of just brushing the girl off and going “ew, gay weirdo!” Sailor Moon really did empower women and sexuality, and this is one of the many scenes that showcases that. oh. I remember that. The love letter incident. If I’m correct it goes like this: GirlA: You’re Miss Tsukino in Class one, first year, aren’t you? Usagi: Yes, right… GirlA: Well, please take this… Makoto: A l… love letter? Usagi: Well, I appreciate your feelings, but there is already someone… GirlA: Oh, no… Usagi: Don’t cry! Even though you can’t be a girlfriend… Usagi: …you may want to be one of my friends… Usagi: And, it’s better to fall in love with a boy! GirlA: When you said, “there is already someone”, was that about yourself? Usagi: Yes. I feel a bit awkward, but that’s right. Girl: Oh… I understand! Please pass this to Yaten! See you! HAHAHA Tumblr at its finest. Episode 178 if you want to check. No but seriously. This scene was made to show how bluntly naive Usagi is. Nothing more, nothing less. Other than that Sailor Moon does have some important scenes and facts regarding LGBT. Starlights are transgender. 90s Zoisite and Kunzite and were a gay couple. The whole story was actually intended to be Yuri, remnants are still visible in the beginning of the series. Haruka and Michiru, duh. And Fish Eye being a transgender as well. Sailor Moon does empower woman and sexuality, but not necessary in this scene, which just was meant to be … hilarious. -- source link
