I wonder how much homophobia would decrease if it was presented with an anime aesthetic.

Not much, pretty sure most weaboos or otakus that are homophobic will continue to be homophobic. I think it’s important for younger people to get these kind of representation so they can understand from a young age why being homophobic, racist, etc… is both illegal and morally wrong.

The most important thing in my opinion is for people to be exposed to and meet people of all marginalised groups, early in life, and have positive experiences with those groups.

Visibility and exposure at early ages does more for people to accept than anything else.

Weeaboos are often some of the most virulent queerphobes (and most enthusiastic fetishisers of queer people, funny that)
