That said, there's actually a reason I wanted to make this thread in the first place. While I believe we've had focus more on the Western side, I wanted to talk about some issues that have cropped up over the decades (and some as recent as within the last decade). I felt we could have a discussion about the issues present in Japanese media in this thread and specifically talk about the problems that come up here. Both good and bad, and largely the latter.
Second, given my experience watching a lot of anime (and playing a ton of Japanese video games) as a Gay man, it's been an interesting experience, to say the least. First off, this is partially related to the issue that recently cropped up in the Goemon Fan Translation thread which is why I'm making this thread, so might be best to keep the whole discussion there for now, though feel free to discuss the issue here (of course)
