Thanks for making this secret, because I couldn't put it better myself really. They (most Western fans, particularly males) make a point of going "KANJI!! IS STRAIGHT!! That is the point of his story! That you can look gay and be straight!" and to me that's just... a lot of lost in translation nuances, (firstly because he doesn't 'look gay' at all - by japanese standards at least that'd be I dunno, P2 Jun or P4 Yusuke ...) as I feel all of his story is much more about "you know those stereotypical Haado Gay stuff you see in Japanese TV and okama stereotypes and all that? Yeah, that's not comfortable/actually highly disturbing for us actual (japanese) gay kids as well. It's bad/confusing for our sense of identity. We aren't walking stereotypes. We can like bunnies and be straight, we can throw chairs and be gay, heck we can walk on heels for funnies and be straight" or something along these lines.
As a sidenote I'm not saying Kanji is bi, gay or straight here, as P4 never explores too much the point of being trans (because, again, different cultural conceptions) just I literally don't think the point of all of his storyline was that and... I like to think the way queer folks were represented in P5 also gave me a wink at that - sort of like "hey, maybe we didn't contextualize enough before but P4 was like that because Japan is like THIS, thanks for understanding".
