(Anonymous) 2022-11-01 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)I’d love to have had your experience, because your experience doesn’t represent my long-spent experience of witnessing what Ayrt is talking about. Utena and Madoka might be examples you’re right about, although Utena still does have a lot of Touga/Saionji shippers, and they were very enthusiastic in the 2000s. Which is fine, but does still contribute to AYRT’s point. And Madoka isn’t a great example imo, because there really is no m/m options that don’t involve genderswaps. AYRT’s example of Simoun is way more apt, because it’s ostensibly a GL anime where everyone is AFAB and gets to choose whether to live as a man or a woman after a certain age. And not only does it not do a great job at being a GL/yuri show at times, but it’s fandom did have a not insignificant amount of people who only cared about the tiny m/m possibilities rather than the more numerous f/f, or even the f/m potential ships.
And Sailor Moon fandom focused on HaruMichi more than het romance? That is so far from my experience, but I would love for it to have been true for me. Ime the largest ships were definitely MamoruUsagi vs. SeiyaUsagi. Plus, a good amount of Senshi-Shitennou ships, and Kunzite/Zoicite. HaruMichi was definitely very popular, but it wasn’t the juggernaut ship in my fandom experience from the 90s-2000s. The Sailor Moon fandom of the 2010s to now is different from then in that it is much more of a place for f/f shipping, with HaruMichi rising to the top as one of the most popular ships, and many other f/f ships that had always been around in the hearts of their fans have become larger and significant ships. This is a good change, and I couldn’t be happier for it considering HaruMichi and Minako/Rei are my favorite Sailor Moon ships.
