I know this has been said many times on why yuri on ice is such an amazing show for gay representation

But here is a solid reason why, especially in Asia

Has anyone heard of Baozi and Hana? I’m sure they are most well known in the asian anime fandom, but probably not in the western fandom.

Baozi and Hana are cosplayers, but most importantly, they are both Chinese, live in China, and are openly gay and China is a very homophobic country.

Recently, after episode 10, Hana posted this post on his instagram

“看完新的一话YOI…心里有超多话想说，与其说是被他们的爱所感动，不如说是被鼓励，在这样一个动画里也看到了许多我们的影子…就像微博上说的一段，两个人互相吸引，喜欢，相互扶持，携手并进，最后给对方承诺。
虽然明白很多人一直在惊讶于动画这么明明白白的刻画同性爱，也有很多人还是不愿相信这一对的感情是爱，但在我眼中真的很感谢创作者给了我们这样一个美好的世界 “

I’m not proficient enough in chinese to translate everything, but here is the important paragraph:

“After watching the newest episode of YOI, I have a lot to say, but instead of saying I’m touched/moved by their love, I’d rather say I’m encouraged by their love. In this anime I see our shadows (meaning he sees a lot of similarities between Victuri and themselves), both are attracted to each other, fell in love, helped each other, promised each other.

Even though many people are still shocked that there is definitely same-sex romance present in the anime, there are also a lot of people who still deny they are in love, but in my eyes, I will forever be grateful to the authors for giving us such a beautiful world.”

I love how Kubo-sensei also tweeted something which supports the idea above. She says ” No matter what real people think about this anime, within its world no one is ever going to be discriminated against because of what they like. And that is something I will always protect.”

And all I want to say is, Kubo-sensei, you have done your job well.

And this is also why I love yuri on ice, it’s not just a favourite anime for me anymore, but it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
