>>4022389I'm curious - what's so ridiculous about physical affection between two boys as an observation of their shared "masculine bond"? I'll grant you that (although I haven't watched the series) I've heard that Ash and Goh's friendship was written by a fujoshi, so it's possible that she puts in moments like

But even if we're talking about kissing, cuddling, or hand-holding, I've mentioned before that those gestures hold different meanings in different cultures and time periods and so they shouldn't be interpreted through the same first-world, hypersexualized lens. To conclude that boys can only be loving towards each other in the absence of heterosexuality is a misunderstanding at best, and dishonesty at worst.
