Not a fan of long socks until they're long enough to turn into thigh highs, personally.

I really like that they're animating a lot of small motions that add character, and Rutile messing with everyone is good.

those are genderless rock thighs those socks are reaching, bxtch

I wear dresses and heels and I haven't turned into a girl yet but I'll let you know if it happens lol.

I don't arbitrarily change character pronouns because I'm not BoomBoomBoom but if I was I'd he/him most the characters, phos and the poison one especially, because they come off way more as touken ranbu style bishi than girl.

Oh I was totally wrong for doubting the cg in this I'm loving it so far.

Suck my anus.

especially when the source material doesn't ostensibly deal much with portraying issues of LGBT it makes you look like a huge rear end in a top hat just bitching constantly over it.

fake edit: in response to anyone stupid enough to reply back telling me no you're wrong they're obviously genderless so it's obviously 100% an LGBT issue, no it isn't. Just because they're genderless doesn't mean anything, the role it plays in the story is purely on a broader question of what constitutes humanity, not any issues over he she it them whatever. Let people gender them however way they want as long as they understand the greater underlying plot of the show.

unless something happens later in the manga that brings this specific issue up to a prevalent level, it's foolish to constantly attack people for calling the gems female when they're voiced by women and are in general way more feminine in terms of both physical appearance and mannerisms.

cit: im gay

I don't give a poo poo about any of that it's just bizarre to me to insist that this one part of the canon isn't real. Also a bunch of them are hot anime guys hello.

e: like all of them except the uhhhh, diamond? so far and maybe the two that fight the lunarians in the first ep. i'll report back on the genderiness of newer genderless rock people as i go though

Space Flower posted:

this is a really weird way to describe characters as if they're just industry machinations and the interests and feelings of the artists/writers designing characters don't matter at all.

this kind of callous descriptor is what i'd expect from someone who's not really into otaku culture but you've got a kemono friends av and your username is a strike witches char so you clearly just have a targeted problem here.

*gaze moves to maga hat*

They're as much "2d bug eyed aliens E: and otaku fap bait" as any other character in anime so that's an oddly self loathing brush to paint the majority of a medium you consume with.

It also seems odd to be recommending people "otaku fap bait" if they're asking for more shows like Houseki, imo

Also the 1995 Shirou GITS movie, OP

Whether or not the characters themselves have an inherent gender, their design is obviously generic moe fare. I also don't think it's that much of a problem because the show doesn't seem to take itself all that seriously. It's a dumb and pretty show about rock-girls.

But I still hate Phos. Maybe now that there's something only she can do, she'll be a more interesting character.

They don't read as bishounen to me :shrug:

Not really modern but oldschool Moto Hagio guys very much, or really like Patalliro!

To a certain extent some older boys' media was like this to, like some of the guys in Saint Seiya. Honestly Pad is the most flagrant "look at this hot old style bishi" character to me, esp with the va work.
A lot of the discussion around their gendered attributes has been really funny to me because stuff like the afforementioned tiny shorts that people insist means they're girls and the femme andro style of their designs I think is really coming from a certain portrayal of masculinity in girls' media.
