#Gay anime kiss scene serial#
It's widely believed that Alan Moore's Top 10 prequel The 49ers went straight to graphic novel publication, despite obvious cliffhanger endings for serialisation, because DC was afraid that the serial comics core audience would react badly to the prominence of an m/m romance in the story.Sadly, it was made too subtle for readers, forcing the reveal to be made as Word of Gay, and a later change in head writer has pretty much assured the relationship will never crop up again. Borderline example: Rotor and Cobar's relationship in the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) story arc Mobius: X Years Later was approved of by Sega, but with the condition that it be kept low-key to prevent public backlash.And yes, this is an actual defense, and still something that's active in some places, including many US states.

Not to be confused with the "gay panic defense", closely related to/formerly known as to the Guardsman's Defence wherein a person who has committed a gay bashing or even worse will aim for a reduced sentence in court by claiming that he didn't want to seem gay and effeminate. The result is that The Reveal turns into Bait-and-Switch Lesbians, Hide Your Lesbians, Gay Romantic Phase, Alternate Character Interpretation, Bury Your Gays, Character Derailment into easily-removed Depraved Homosexual or Psycho Lesbian archetypes, or just being Put on a Bus or Dropped a Bridge on Him for the non-straight characters, their love interests or both. After this has been airing without controversy for a while, suddenly, Executive Meddling or Executive Veto, or both, will come into play to start appeasing the Moral Guardians. Gay Panic is when Moral Guardians object to gay/bi characters prominently dating, kissing, holding hands, or even existing.
