    yeah, it really resonated with me in ways i know for a fact would never be recognized if the wachowskis hadn’t come out. queer reads of anything that isn’t explicitly and unarguably queer (and even things that are!!! i had someone try to wokely argue to me that utena was a completely cishet show on this website!!!) are at best tolerated, but usually shouted down for being

                Tbf, Utena is ambiguous before the movie. It’s got a lot of gay vibes going on but literally no one ever expresses any attraction toward anyone of the same sex at any point. The gay stuff is all in the vibes, symbolism and whatnot.

                when you say stuff like this, you give people the wrong idea about the show and then they go watch it and end up being really disappointed. That’s my experience
