I agree, and I said that it is your right to ship them (even though I don't ship others myself), but why are all of Gao's considered potential romances girls? As far as I can tell, he gets along just as well with Tasuku, Tetsuya, and Zanya as they are also Buddyfight rivals he hangs out with. You can argue that he is often shipped with Kiri, but let's be honest, that's more of a joke pairing than a serious one (and I'll admit that I also join in on the jokes, because it's pretty funny).

I wish to clarify that I am calm and not angry at all. This is rather a social commentary on the world at large. What I mean is society assumes that when a boy and a girl go out together, they are a couple and when two people of the same gender to out together, they are friends. A boy and a girl can be just friends and two people of the same gender can be a couple.

In this context I'm saying why is it assumed that Gao is straight? Has he shown any interests in girls? At this point in time, he is a celibate character, which means he has not shown any romantic interests, nor has been in any romantic situations. He can just as easily be gay or even bi. And this can be easily applied to any other celibate character in this show (which includes Kazane), any celibate character in any fiction, and anyone in the world whose orientation you aren't aware of.

While this way of thinking is perfectly fine and relatively free of consequences for fictional characters (other than a long comment from me), it is toxic when used in real life. Assuming someone is straight leads them to believe that you don't believe that someone can be gay and if they are, it would lead them to believe that they cannot confide in you. And if they're straight, they're led to believe such thinking is perfectly fine to apply to people. I am saying to not assume anything about anyone on this sort of thing.

This concludes today's lecture by Professor X (no relation to a certain handicapped, bald telepath) and if you read all of this and understood it, you deserve a treat. I'm serious, you really do. I also understand if it's a little jarring for you to have me say these things when just earlier today I placed a comment on how cute I think Glazer is and that is wasn't the only time I did that. Thank you for hearing me out. I also hope this doesn't start something terrible.
