If you want a classic example of society's pathological denial of sapphic existence, these two characters literally kiss and go on a date in the last episode and to this day people will deny this and ship them with male characters.

Kill la Kill is one of my favorite series for a lot of reasons, but my favorite is how they had a slow-burn joke of Mako over-explaining things through the show to culminate in the most hilariously unavoidable Yes, Homo scenes in an anime

I'll be the first to admit that Mako and Gamagori are cute together, but this is the canon result. Mako talks about nothing but how awesome and hot Ryuko is, the ENTIRE show. Having a crack ship about characters is fine, but the truth is the truth.

Mako has such AGGRESSIVELY gay vibes from episode one. Just CONSTANTLY touching Ryuko and talking about her boobs and how pretty she is Plus Nonon is so obviously, painfully gay for Satsuki you'd have to be delusional not to see it

I can understand Mako and Gamagoori because I remember liking that couple back in the day even if I liked Ryuko and Mako together more. But who else are they shipping Ryuko with?? The only other character she had good chemistry with turned out to be her sister!

The show’s character designer, Sushio has spent the years since the show ended posting continued art of them post-series that basically looks like them going on dates:

"But Gamagoori-" The flipside of denying sapphic relationships is projecting hetero pairings onto platonic relationships. Mako is gay, and Gamagoori simply thinks Mako rules because he respects stubborn women with firm convictions (Sastuki, etc). What, a guy can't be a lesbian's hype man?

gamagoori is a bottom who needs to figure some stuff out but yeah i do like how in the graduation episode he's not like jealous or bitter or anything now that mako is with ryuko imo he was drawn to mako on acct of her top energy but there's not like a "pairing" there thatd b kinda ridiculous

I can literally hear Gamagoori giving one of his outrageous speeches chiding someone for assuming that his appreciation for Mako is at all romantic. "YOU DARE IMPLY MANKANSHOU'S IRON WILL AND STEADFAST HEART IS UNWORTHY OF APPRECIATION IN ITSELF???" All while wearing an "ally" pride shirt of course

Oddly I 100% missed that in the last episode - I just assumed they were a couple based on vibes. I do need to rewatch the series, been a while.
