Is armin gay

Hi anon! :)

First of all I’d like to preface that post by saying homosexuality in Japan is more of a secret matter and a taboo than anything else: it’s not the topic you can out to the wide audience. As such, you’re never going to hear Isayama affirm explicitly characters to have a liking for the matching gender.

What’s nice is Isayama giving us LGBT characters who aren’t drawn from offensive cliches: they feel real. On top of that, the SnK existence isn’t set to appeal to intimacy, so you can leave certain bounds undeveloped, because any ship who has the potential to be endgame has one of its components killed off, sometimes in the most brutal way.

Short addendum: Mangakas can’t simply put LGBT characters in their series, because the staff still holds some authority over them, leading mangas like another series from Bessatsu for a gay smooch to be cancelled in some cases. It’s already exceptional Isayama manages to put LGBT characters who don’t glance like complete caricatures and is actually fond of same-gender relationships.
