Not meant as in "they suck", okay? 😉

I wondered if anyone else finds that in regular manga the antagonists are so much more gay than the protagonists.
I suddenly realized that this is mostly true for me. For example, in Naruto I feel that (most of) the protagonists are very, very straight (ok, I know there are a LOT of people who disagree with me but it's an example, right?) but as soon as the antagonists made an appearance (Orochimaru, Akatsuki etc,) I went on a search for (yaoi) fanfiction/doujinshi. Same goes for Bleach. Or FMA. Or whatever series.
Anyone else who thinks antagonists are gayer than protagonists? Or wants to share his/her ideas on this idea?

Here is yet to come a witty comment on love

Ooh, James from Pokemon! snickersnort*

Lost Boys is kinda like that too (since they are the only ones who go all the way).

Yeah, I have noticed that. It's not necessarily a good thing? I feel like by having the any homosexuals always being the antagonists is sort of equating gay/flamboyant with evil and depraved. For example, that one creepy robot-man who was a pedophile for little boys in Flame of Recca, or Gauron from Full Metal Panic, or even Lussuria from Reborn. It's like seriously, can they be any more biased? 😔

Hmm... if I can throw in my two cents...

It's not as if gayness is associated with evil or anything. I think that when they want to put a mysterious twist to a character, they tend to make the character more effeminate, gentle, and moves suggestively to add to that "WHAT THE...." factor. And why it's a trend nowadays, is because publishers/editors saw that girls go kyaa kyaa over them and it boosts the sales. At least that's what I think.

As for Lussuria, Mr 2 Bon Clay and that ballet dancing crazy guy from Bleach, they're just there for comic relief. As far as Japanese comedy goes, okama (directly translates to transvestites) is a huge comical element because it breaks through the rigid mold of how man should behave. Comedy comes from the discrepancy between the humor and reality. There's just something funny about a big hairy muscle dude talking like a girl.
