I seriously don't understand what quality weed some people are high in when they call Yuuri x Wolfram as gay representation, the engagement happened due to a mistake and Wolfram uses that as an excuse to abuse Yuuri, it's clearly a toxic and abusive relationship
@CamomiIe
1. No, Yuuri is not bisexual, he himself has mentioned plenty of times that he's only into women, he IS STRAIGHT
Wolfram holds Yuuri hostage to a mistaken engagement and doesn't allow him to have the choice of his sexual preference, invades his privacy and personal space and doesn't respect his boundaries. He even tried to rape him under the pretext that their relationship will never make any progress if he leaves things up to Yuuri, of course the anime remove that scene and reduced it to Yuuri simply waking up to finding naked Wolfram in his bed and panicking for no reason.
And what would be a better way to turn a straight boy gay than restricting him from having any interactions with women
2. And it's not like Yuuri hasn't tried to break the engagement, in episode 6, he said that he would take back the proposal but Wolfram said that it would hurt his pride so Yuuri even suggested that they can simply make it look like Wolfram dumped Yuuri but he doesn't agree to that either.
Again when Elizabeth appeared Yuuri was ready to break the engagement but Wolfram forced Yuuri to fight Elizabeth to "prove his love for him" even though Yuuri thought it would be good opportunity to break the engagement by losing to her.
Also Yuuri has expressed discontent with the way Wolfram treats him. This is from the LN
Even though I'm not a patient person by any means, while waiting for the other party to turn down the engagement, I have endured it till this day so as to not aggravate the situation. And that's because the other party is a selfish prince, his highness the overly proud former prince.
Nonetheless, even if I was unaware of the etiquette, it was my fault as well for carelessly getting engaged. I admit that. And that's why so as to not hurt him, I suggested countless times that I don't mind if he turns me down. Even so Wolfram completely refuses to dump me. On the contrary, on every opportunity that I bring up the topic of our engagement, it only ends up in him making fun of me.
I think that anyone who possesses even average sensitivity would have disappeared long ago while getting angry or crying. Even if I do say so myself, I really have done my best. I honestly feel like praising myself for tolerating him so far without snapping.
However this is impossible, it's too much for me to handle. God, I don't think I can endure this anymore.
Also this series was originally meant to be what the author calls Boys Gag not Boys Love and the engagement was supposed to be a running joke. Here's a comment from the author:
And now we'll talk about the "couples". A lot of people send me letters telling me they want Conrad x Yuuri , or Wolfram x Yuuri to be together. Stuff like that, always makes me feel strange. Since I didn't think it was clearly a boys-love style story, I didn't think about that kind of stuff.
I, rather than thinking about who will end up with who, think about how to make more and more gags. I want to have tons and tons of that, rather than the other. For real, lately I've been having a shortage of gags..... So, if this book, seems to be a little biased towards a particular couple, it has nothing to do with the main story, so please just laugh it off, as if it were a bad dream. Even if evidence piles up, nothing has been decided yet. I haven't decided anything. Ah! But Beatrice x Yuuri seems promising, right? Ah, but that's also a troublesome remark. Because that would be completely illegal, Shibuya Yuuri. (I wonder if he's even interested in healthy relationships).
Simple question, if Yuuri was a lesbian girl and Wolfram was a straight guy with the rest remaining exactly the same but Yuuri turning straight for Wolfram in the end, would you still have hailed this as representation or thrown a fit about it being homophobic? Given how Wolfram cannot respect Yuuri's sexuality, this is the perfect case of heterophobia.
@CamomiIe Also let's talk about why you are so confused regarding my reviews. |
