Re: 128 OP

[fawned.livejournal.com]

Do those romantic implications have to be there just because the writer wants to make it seem like OMG NO GIRL CAN LIVE WITHOUT ROMANCE without having a heterosexual romance? Regardless of what the writer has said, the existence of romantic implications between Anthy and Utena =/= attempting to infer that girls cannot live happily without being involved in a romantic relationship. It's my understanding that you seem to think that these hints are somehow un-feminist and un-empowering or make the show un-empowering and un-feminist - personally, I don't see how they really could be (at least not on purpose), especially considering the fact that at its core, the series' main theme really isn't romance. I mean, I can sort of see how you could view the romantic implications as a bad thing, but I don't know if it ruins the ending by thinking of them as lovers. Friends or lovers, they still have a damn close relationship, and it's touching either way...and really? Even if you think the romance ruins it, in the end, they still both make conscious decisions to be with each other (as opposed to being forced together in the beginning). And that, I think, is just as empowering if they're lovers as it would be if they're just friends.

But, yeah, that's just my viewpoint on the matter.

I wouldn't disagree with that if it had been more overt in the show, or the director hadn't said it was there basically because heterosexual romance was too distracting. To me, it seemed like it was there simply for the sake of being there, which is not a good enough reason. You're free to disagree, of course, especially if you get something out of the pairinf. More to you. I just don't like the mindset behind the decision for it to be there, I guess.
