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

"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?

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

Ganagoori and Mako always gave me sibling vibes and I'm gonna make a lot of enemies on transfem BSky by saying this but I think that means that they should not date.

Thing is, even if Gamagoori's affection was romantic, it's also very clearly one sided. All through out the show Mako is obsessed with being with one person and one person only and that person is Ryuko.

That man saw her standing up to him and for Ryuko with all of her heart and her life on the line and went “She just like me FR…”
