As potentially problematic as the choice is, the sequel series confirmed that the classic villain Orochimaru is actually genderfluid. Orochimaru is easily one of Naruto's most iconic villains. One of the developments fans hoped to see in Boruto was a bit more progressiveness on the LGBTQ+ front.

The popular Naruto series initially teased this topic years back with Orochimaru's gender-fluid arc, with many believing his obsession with Itachi was homoerotic. After 'Naruto' sequel series confirmed former antagonist Orochimaru is genderfluid, shounen anime fans hope for more LGBTQ representation. Orochimaru, a major villain in the Naruto series, has come out as gender non-binary.

The character, who inhabits different host bodies in order to expand their life span made the revelation, in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. There are (atleast to my knowledge) no major characters who are LGBTQ+ in Naruto. If there were one how would they fit into the story and what existing character would u have be gay? Orochimaru. They would fit in the story like any other character.

Their sexuality wouldn't be a point of emphasis so it wouldn't matter much. These dynamics then subvert other relationships within the narrative. Through this phenomenon, we can get a better understanding of the representation of media through fanfiction and projection of personal motivations into these fictions in relation to all to common trio archetypes, and the dually appropriative, resistive-to-normaitivty creative process of fanfiction writers to construct a communally sourced narrative that projects the canon onto the new based upon the dynamics of characters within a story and how these map to the configurations desired by the folk creative body of fanfiction writers.

Mikasa and Armin come to his side to try to vouch for him, but they are threatened too. The main nuances of this scene are that normative gender roles especially for the world war-like aesthetics of the story are subverted very heavily, as Mikasa lifts Eren over her shoulder to try to protect him, and Armin is still there by their side, as they all frantically try to save themselves and each other, until the last moment before a cannon is fired upon them, and Eren partially turns into a Titan to defend all of them.

For the example of Naruto, I have chosen a well-known scene towards the beginning of the series where Naruto is in a classroom, squatting on a table in front of Sasuke whether this is to intimidate him, or examine him is vauge , but he gets knocked over, and accidentally kisses Sasuke to the dismay of the girls in the class, including Sakura. It is impossible to not call this scene a strong example of camp in the series, because the situation is just too absurd not to.

Using this database, we can not only gauge how popular fanfiction is for any particular series, but also see accurately the exact numbers of submissions, including submissions under specific tags. Brienza, Casey. Brienza gives us an a theoretical framework with which we can see that fanfiction is a discursive process through which to explore cathartic projections of homoeroticism to resist normative, commercially guided media, as well as a way for the predominantly straight women fanfiction writers to project the object of desire onto exclusively men in erotic situations, and avoid the objectification of women.

Dennis, Jeffery P. Jeffrey P. This is to say that the male pairings construct a space of interpretations where women in the readership can fantacize about men without the context of the objectification or power dynamics with and between women, but rather with a pure sense of interaction between male characters as the replaced objects of desire that are intra-acting under this scheme of an alternative.

Green, Joshua, and Henry Jenkins. In Chapter 4 of Boys Love Manga, Mark John Isola unifies the motivations of fanfiction writers with the consequences of their actions, in the form of a duality that the production of homoerotic fan fiction by predominantly straight women as a way to resist the normative narratives of heteroerotic patriarchy and project the object of desire solely to men is inseparable from the consequence that this action produces an appropriation of the lived experiences of gay men into an unreal, unlived, sterilized version of homoeroticism that complicates, misrepresents, and warps the perceptions and developments of queer identities.
