Why are gay boys so rare in cartoons while lesbians are everywhere?
>>
because women are innately bisexual and men are not. for men, bisexuality is more of an aberration whereas for women it's more of the norm.

This isn't *plenty* compared to the number of lesbians, and many of these are only someone's parents you see in one or two episodes.

I wish Max was gay, he's cute. He should be my boyfriend

it would be nice to have some good gay cartoons, but i can see the finger on the monkey's paw curling. we both they'd fuck it up beyond belief, best to just stick to webcomics and anime and getting a bf in real life

>>155422677
there's a few, they're just never members of the main cast (and lesbians are always members of the main cast).

>>155422793
they didnt include the dragon prince classic "implied gays only onscreen for 10 minutes and killed off immediately after all within the same flashback"
>>
>>155422677
Why always underage?

Homophobes tend to like lesbo shit ("They like what I like, tits!") and there's the whole "It's more progressive when it's women" bullshit.
Also Utenafags got into the industry.
>>
Straight men are genuinely repulsed by gay men so you can only get this if the showrunner is a gay man himself or a fujoshi. The people funding the show also have to be willing to sign off on it.

Kipo, The Hollow and Dragon Striker. All I can think of.

>>155422875
Based. Same

>>155423079
So there's untapped potential to appeal to fujoshis.

Also straight men are more likely to play video games then watch cartoons these days. Only effeminate men and mtfs fucking watch lesbian cartoons.

Twink death means that the gay guy market has a definite split based on aesthetics and an atomized market is functionally a series of small markets. Using Star Vs. as an example, the people into Princess Marco aren't jerking it to his quite masculine and muscled canon adult self.

shotafag?

>most of the couples are mixed
Why is it like this?

>>155424153
Two guys of the same race being together isn't progressive enough.

>>155424145
Yes, those shotas are fags.

I don't think the second justice league pic are actually gay

Holy shit. I just want to rip the blond guy's underwear off and swallow his entire dick. I'm straight, btw. Not sure if that matters.

Yes, all women are bisexual, there are no true lesbians, becoming a "lesbian" is something of a political statement born out of man hate.
>>
>>155424175
You're right. One guy needs to be ftm to represent what a gay couple can truly be.
>>
>lesbians are seen as "safer" because female sexuality is seen as safer
>adding onto that, women are seen as the "woker" sex, two women gives more brownie points than two men or one woman/one man together
Two gay white "cis" men don't have enough "woke" points to justify putting them in cartoons, and cartoon showrunners tend to lean more progressive. So they either go for lesbians or interracial gays if they HAVE to put in a token gay male couple.
>>
As a straight man, I can look at 2 women kissing and not be grossed out.

Not sure if the same logic applies to straight women on the subject though.
>>
>>155422782
It's disappointing that there won't be.

>>155422677
Every time a gay is on screen, it triggers the subconscious mental image of sodomy. Gays will never be as accepted as lesbians. Deal with it.
>>
>>155422677
One is just easier to market than the other. And cartoons just aren't willing to try and experiment with cute boys to see what sticks and build the audience.

>>155422745
Are 85% of gay dads a tall thin white guy and a short chubby black guy? Pretty sure that's what cartoons are trying to tell me.
>>
>>155422737
>>155426548
That seems pretty retarded.
>>
>>155424175
I hate this. If you're gonna do gay shit treat it like a banal concept, let be it's own thing instead using it as an opportunity to toss more "progressive" ideas.
>>
>>155422677
Because gays are gross.
>>
>>155422745
The Hollow wasn't a great show but I'm still pissed it didn't last long enough to give the protagonist a BF.
>>
>>155425719
Basically the best gay rep in all of animation
They totally and canonically fuck

Wait how many of us maxfags and SCIGQDS are there in here

ugh
Why is this the crap that always gets approved?

>>155430547
Indeed
They could have pulled that shit off by replacing the shitty rick & morty knockoff artstyle with something akin to gay furry twitter artists like vikifox or even capy_b then it would have been the divine work of art they claim it is

>>155430902
They made good gay shit with captain laserhawk. But somehow they prefered drawing family guy calarts with three lines of pecs
Three my nigga
Three

>>155422677
lesbians are easier to write off as close "besties" and also woman on woman appeals to straight guys more then man on man
