This was LITERALLY AND EXPLICITLY a world where there was, de facto, no judgment against people for who they loved. It wouldn't have supported homophobia any more than it would have supported unicorns--because both of those things don't exist in the world.

I'm guessing you aren't anon I replied to and you are heavily missing the point.

I agree it's explicitly a world without homophobia because the writer said so.

but I mean, that doesn't mean you can handwave away the real world context. If I wrote about Nazi Germany, but without the Holocaust and the racism, the context and implications wouldn't magically disappear.

Since I already said I don't think the series was equipped to handle a homophobia plotline I don't know why you're sounding like you're arguing with me. But even though I don't think it could have, or should have, handled that kind of plot, it doesn't mean the context is going to be irrelevant to many viewers.

IT's not about this one fucking show, you idiot. IT's about a trend to NOT show it in Asia, which is fucking upsetting to a lot of people. It's not just YoI, it's a lot of BL and GL not showing the struggles.
