Worlds Where Homophobia Doesn't Exist as a Concept

In current times, it's more tolerated or accepted to see same-sex couples in media; however, it's still seen as something abnormal, a vestige of the homophobia of centuries past. But I want to talk about worlds where the concept of homophobia DOESN'T EXIST. Not even the typical "Yes, we're a couple, is there a problem?" Nobody shows a hint of discomfort or any other indication.

And I must clarify that I'm not talking about worlds where a specific country has no taboos or where it's permitted, as is the case with Avatar, where the comics reveal that the Air Nomads didn't care, while the Fire Nation was openly homophobic.

  1. Attack on Titan.

For the number of characters there were, we didn't have that many couples, and of the few couples there were, Ymir and Historia were there, with nothing noteworthy about them compared to the other characters.

  1. Steven Universe

I think it was controversial at the time because, within the world of Steven Universe, an anti-racism commercial featured a same-sex couple So, in the world of Steven Universe, racism exists but not homophobia, and I suspect that, in a Watsonian way, this is due to the influence of the Crystal Gems, who have been around since the beginning of humanity.

  1. Mahō Shōjo ni Akogarete (Magical Girl Akogarete)

I'm putting this one here and not other yuri anime because, genuinely, in this world, men don't exist. You can't be homophobic if heterosexuality doesn't exist.

La Plena, pensaba que la superficie de Alemania estaba mas cerca de la de Venezuela que la de Ecuador.

La superficie de Venezuela es de aproximadamente 916.445 km², la de Alemania es de 357.600 km² y la de Ecuador es de 256.370 km.

Y Si, se que en la Foto están los Balcanes, pero cai en cuenta al verlos en comparación .

[combatants will be dispatched] The Chosen One and Fausstress staying on Earth because there is water // The executives of Kisaragi wanting to invade their planet

>!After reading the Sentouin Hakenshimasu Mini-Stories, which resolved some plot holes I had noticed, including Princess Tilis's brother and the Demon Lord's 4th General, both of whom disappeared off-screen and were recruited by Kisaragi, it's revealed that they could return home. However, they don't because their life on Earth is far too luxurious in comparison. Why does the Chosen One, the Hero, work for an evil organization? Well, from his perspective, superheroes aren't very different from villains, so it's irrelevant to him that Kisaragi defines itself as an evil organization. Besides, he fell in love with Astaroth. The point is that they both planned to take a griffin with them before leaving, but they learned the hard way that the griffin didn't generate water; rather, the planet is rich in water, and the griffin is merely the final node in the water network. This is funny because while they want to stay, Kisaragi's forces want to invade their planet because Earth doesn't have much time left!<

[Hated Trope] The spinster desperate to get married.

Here I include characters whose only point in the story is that they want to get married. They don't have a life outside of work or future plans; they just live waiting to get married and will almost literally come on to any idiot for a date. What bothers me most is that it's not very believable in context, given that they're waifus, and one immediately wonders, "How can such a beautiful woman be single?"

  1. Kurama - Urusei Yatsura.

The Crow Princess, who appears as a sleeping princess, is destined, according to tradition, to marry the first man who kisses her, which is Ataru. Later, she learns that the tradition originated when a crow woke his girlfriend with a kiss, finding it so beautiful that he wanted them to be engaged in this way. Since the tradition's origin is silly, Kurama abandons it, thus ending his character arc. This is highlighted in the movie.

  1. Luna of Konosuba

So you're probably wondering, "What the heck are you talking about?" Even after reading all 17 volumes of the novel, I wouldn't have believed it either. In the main story, Luna is limited to being the Guild receptionist and giving directions or explanations to Kazuma and his party. However, in the prequel or concurrent spin-offs, Luna's role is that of a spinster looking for a husband, even considering Kazuma in her own timeline.

>!To a certain extent, She even tries to do something with Vanir, unaware that Vanir is a demon and in this world they don't have genitals or gender.!<

  1. Grimm de combatants will be dispatched. In the girl's own words, she dreams of getting married so she won't be a failure anymore. And yes, her joke is that she flirts with every man she meets until he rejects her, humiliating herself in the process. She claims to be frightening to ordinary people, but as the chapters progress, it becomes implied that it's not because she's a priestess of an evil goddess or because she's undead. With a good script, the author could explore the acceptance of this concept, but since this is the same author as Konosuba, the reason Grimm is single is because she's a femme fatale, a very unpleasant woman with anger issues, who quickly creates a soap opera in her head and will curse you over trivial matters if she's disappointed.

I emphasize this because, as the story unfolds, we see her going to restaurants and bars, she organizes a festival, people approach her to act as an interpreter between spirits and villagers, and two lesbians even become interested in Grimm at some point in the story. But to drive the final nail into the coffin, at a certain point in the story, Grimm is >!cursed so that she can never meet good men, and from that point on, she goes from being the woman desperate for a husband to the spare suitor who sees the protagonist as her "worse than having no one."!<

It does remind me of how Doña Cleotilde flirted with Don Ramón in El Chavo del Ocho, and there it made sense, given that Doña Cleotilde was old enough to find other men, but not so old that she didn't feel the need to be loved, and naturally, Don Ramón, being a widow, wasn't looking for sugar mommies.

[Combatants will be dispatched!] Did Agent Six collect the "Special" favors that Grimm owes him?

Have Agent Six and Grimm had sex? Quick answer, no.

Long answer, In Volume 6 Grimm, when Grimm thought that Adelie, the superhero who appeared out of nowhere, wanted to steal Agent Six, he said, and I quote, "You hateful bitch, coming out of nowhere to steal the Commander from me! I mean, the Commander said he'd be willing to do kinky things to me if I wasn't a clingy follower of Zenarith or if I was okay with him not taking any responsibility."

Which seems to me to complement Volume 3 of the Novel and Chapter 28 of the Manga When Grimm asked Agent Six for help. I quote the part of the Novel.

"Please! If you help me, I'll make it worth it! I'll give you all kinds of sexual favors!"

When I turn to leave, Grimm clings to my hips, crying as he begs for help. "Sexual favors? I already sexually harass you as a way of saying hello..."

"It's true! You've hiked up my skirt and all kinds of stuff! If you're not going to help me now, you should take responsibility for what you've already done and support me!"

And now he's trying to blackmail me. "Alright, fine. I'll do you that favor. But keep in mind that we're both adults. If you try to make a kiss a reward like Snow did, nudity will be the least of your worries."

“...Actually, Commander, do you mind if I have a little more time to think about it?”

In certain translations that I found, it is omitted that they are Sexual favors.

In the mini Stories, which take place between Volumes 1 and 2, Grimm invites Agent Six to spend the night with her. But he quickly realizes how it can be misinterpreted and makes it explicit that it was not an invitation to something sexual.

[combatants will be dispatched] The author forgot about Grimm's weakness.

Here's an observation since I reread the novel: Something that's made very explicit in Volume 1 is that Grimm falls asleep during the day but is vigorous at night. It's even clear that Grimm is bothered by sunlight.

But this changes in the rest of the story. It doesn't even change from one volume to the next; in the Extra of Volume 1, where Agent 6 reads Agent 22's report in Konosuba, it explicitly states that Grimm is enjoying the sun. I'll add that this also gives a clue as to Grimm's age. Grimm mentions reading a novel about a 30-year-old woman falling in love with a younger man surrounded by girls.

And I'm not making this up or taking things out of context. In Volume 2, Grimm gets overexcited when she's in the vehicle for the first time before being thrown off by the pothole.

In Volume 3, it's stated more explicitly that the entire festival takes place during the day, and Rokugo is confident that a zombie isn't scary during the day. Reading that last part took me by surprise; I thought the entire festival plot took place at night or at dusk.

In Volume 4, Grimm's participation is limited to one appearance with an ambiguous time and another that occurs at night. She doesn't participate in the battle of that volume because she falls asleep. In Volume 5, it's revisited that Grimm sleeps during the day. Grimm knocks down the Sand King but accidentally commits suicide while trying to kill him, which is why she doesn't participate in the battle of that volume. In Volume 6, her participation is at night. In Volume 7, she doesn't participate because Belial kills her upon arrival.

In Volume 2 itself, beyond Grimm falling into a coma, it's shown that Grimm wakes up during the day while they're in the ruined laboratory, even though he claims to be sleepy. And in Volume 3, the part in the forest and the bar takes place at night. So it seems the author simply ignores Grimm's lethargy whenever he feels like it.

As an extra detail, this official fan art of Grimm at the beach was released in that volume. The characters in the canon have never been to the beach, and it keeps reminding me of that meme where they made fun of a swimming school making Nezuko swim in the sun.

¿Por que se Cayo el dique permeable construido en el Río Coca?

Alexis Sanchez, Ingeniero Hidraulico ex profesor de la Universidad Tecnica de Ambato nos explica, La destrucción del dique permeable construido en el Río Coca, es el resultado de la inoperancia, acción tardía, e irresponsabiliodad de los tres últimos gobiernos, que dejaron avanzar la EROSIÓN REGRESIVA DEL RÍO COCA desde que ésta arrancó con el colapso natural de la cascada San Rafael en febrero del 2020.

Si ya es trágico que se haya destruido el dique permeable poco más de un mes después de su pomposa inauguración, es más trágico, tragicómico diría, escuchar al nuevo ministro de energía declarar con total desparpajo que "esa era su función"... destruirse en tan corto tiempo, cuando una obra de ingeniería debe garantizarse por lo menos para 30 o 40 años !

Ahora bien... la situación es crítica para el país, y lo que se puede venir si sigue avanzando la erosión regresiva y alcanza la bocatoma de la Central hidroeléctrica Coca Codo Sinclair, sería realmente CATASTRÓFICO. Aquí te lo explico en el video
