it’s been common knowledge for a while that Rebecca Sugar had to fight like hell to depict lesbians in her show and we now know the same of Noelle Stevenson, i am perhaps a little annoyed at the growing amount of people that seem to think it is in fact extremely easy to do this?

this is especially interesting to me because Eizouken is also set a bit in the future (mostly implied by technology but iirc someone said a brief shot of a calendar dates it at roughly 2070). so perhaps it’s implying a future where immigration is more common in Japan?
