Re: Sailor Moon thread from yesterday

[ariakas]

You can find scans of the full text of the interview with Takeuchi in question here.

"All the Sailor Scouts are girls," Takeuchi said firmly. "Haruka has always been a girl and always will be."

There's no corresponding Japanese script because this is an English-language article, based on an official Japanese -> English interpreted interview, but I see absolutely no reason that either the author of this article or the professional interpreter hired by Comic Con would lie about or misrepresent this, nor did anyone by my recollection when this interview was first published in the 90s.

On the other hand, "author confirmed" Haruka-as-nonbinary increasingly appears to have been something the fandom invented, as I can't find anything about it except speculation based on that one sentence from the manga, including in Japanese. Everything regarding Haruka's gender in Japanese is fanblog speculation too. Again, I don't mind this interpretation, but if anyone can find where this originated, I would be grateful. There honestly appears to be some revisionist history going on as I was active in the fandom online in the 90s too and I have no recollection of this being either a popular headcanon or supposedly official.
