7:05 Little thing, but "technically she's bi" isn't how that works, necessarily. Was she bi? Could've been. I can't read the minds of historical figures, but as a lesbian, that whole history read way more like compulsory heterosexuality than genuine love for the guy. When you live in a patriarchy, especially one as entrenched as the patriarchy in Japan at that point in history, it can seem like an escape to just... get into a loveless straight relationship. It's a necessary possibility to consider, I think. I still feel a bit bad saying that because bi woman representation is in such a dire state too, but, again, considering the possibilities.
Yep, this is pretty common thorough history in general. Happens with men too but to a lesser extent since obviously women literally couldn't just be single a lot of times because they often lacked basic human rights without being married - this is also why lavender marriages were a thing (honestly I think they're still a thing sometimes depending on place).
Love the fact that this video exists as a lesbian weeb but hate the fact that you were called homophobic. A lot of people call history/mythology channels homophobic just for saying facts from the time (including mah boy john from messed up origins for calling the lettuce incident gross… which it is I don’t know what to tell you chief)
Oh... So Gackt playing Uesugi Kenshin in Fuurin Kazan Taiga Drama series makes perfect sense. They needed an androgynous actor for the role to get the right impression.
5:38 how did this guy have actually perfect pronunciation of every japanese word in this video yet butchered every fucking name in here😭😭 bro really said "da vinki"
THANK YOU FOR THIS ive been trying to find japanese lesbian history for so long and havent gotten any head way since its so hard to find the text in english. Do you have a sources list you could share?
hell yeah dude nice vid your pronunciation (nun lmao) of japanese words is very well practiced. I would be curious to know if ginchiyo tachibana was also a raging lesbian cuz she trained her maids to kil people. super badass shit.
The entire history of lesbians in Japan (I guess) (Also I subscribe to the interpretation that Amaterasu specifically got lured out of the cave because Ame-no-Uzume did a striptease)
I always loved reading Tanizaki Jyunichiro. The way women are described in his books are really sensual and beautiful. But I couldn’t shake the fact that I’m reading a man depicting sapphic love and how it ties to the cis-hetero man writing/consuming lesbian 🌽. Not to mention the men who draw sapphic imagery. I’m sure sapphic woman were an audience for this but, were they the target audience I’m not sure. I’ve read countless stories from and about Sappho or Hildegard of Bingen, Queen Anne etc. and have been fascinated with how Europe had more historical accounts of female homosexuality by women. What I fear from all the male authors and male oriented media from the past is that it is often filtered by the male experience and or how it is presented for the audience. This is a one sided view of the whole story cause the author is not a woman hence cannot comment on what female homosexuality is in what could be a relevant information of that period.
@@loran1212 this is true, but on the other hand, with respect to the video creator, I don't think they're versed enough on this(?) to take that sort of perspective
love the history lesson but bro idk how to tell you this but you're not beating the homophobia allegations if your response is "lesbians :)" with the implication that you think lesbian sex is hot to you, a straight man. you're kinda just digging a deeper hole.
Reuploaded Yuri! Awesome!
I got pinned? Shiiiiiiiiieet
百合 !!!!
JUSTICE FOR LESBIANS
7:20 “Our main export is fucking yaoi-“
I would’ve assumed this was a joke if I hadn’t just visited Tokyo over break

RUclips recommended this to me out of nowhere they clearly know my interests
Creating an entire video to prove using Atai as a pronoun is gay is cinema
There is a girl that lost her job because of this
I feel like I know who you're referencing

Your Jolyne profile picture makes this comment even funnier.
Ok now Ruroni Kenshin, and the pedo samurai inserts make sense, whoa. The author was really inspired by samurai it seems.
mythical youtube algorithm pull

2:34 How could anyone forget the famous brief trio? They are truly some of the most powerful stands.

“GOD FUCKING YES” Good lord I guess World War II wasn’t the only time Japan was insane
All im getting is that sukuna yaoi is cannon
Pretty cool vid bro, thanka
I'm surprised Murasaki Shikibu wasn't mentioned during the Heian Era.
7:20 bro I wish Russia would be gay frfr I don’t wanna be scared of being locked up
Real
Next video has to be talking about the acient times japanese femboys, they were cooking with their outfits

hell yeah dude nice vid your pronunciation (nun lmao) of japanese words is very well practiced. I would be curious to know if ginchiyo tachibana was also a raging lesbian cuz she trained her maids to kil people. super badass shit.
The lesbian desire for assassin maids
Guess we'll watch it again
yawn,... I am completely thinking you have never read anything from Yosano Akiko ...
You're right she would've been perfect to talk about in this video but I didn't know her
Good catch!
The entire history of lesbians in Japan (I guess)

You cant just say perchance
@@a-ramenartist9734 everybody knows that Mario is cool as fuck. (horrible opening) ...
Without going into historical japanese trans identities, which exist, I'll just note that trans people can still be lesbians.
@ *and/or... perchance...
