Watching japanese dudes keep writing cross dressing semi-gays as a punchline really feels more like an admission than a joke, in many cases being somewhat plot relevant in a really obtuse way to justify its exaggerated presentation.
I like Persona 4’s Kanji. They still make his ambigious sexuality the butt of jokes, but they give him an arc about tackling his sense of shame and leave it at a pretty open end. It’s a game from 2008, but the main thing is that he stops caring if someone’s a “dude or a chick” when it comes to attraction.

Yeah, it’s pretty aggravating, but I feel like they’ve been getting better on this in recent years as awareness spreads.
~Thinking about how Steins;Gate kept insisting that Rukako was a guy, even though she’s probably one of the most clear-cut trans women in anime.~
