Things Get Better?: LGBTQ Representation in Animation in 2022 [Part 4]

Continued from part 3

While some shows with LGBTQ characters, have ended (Kid Cosmic and Amphibia), were cancelled (Q-Force), or won't be renewed (Dead End, gen:LOCK, and High Guardian Spice), indie animation has continued to shine. Some argued that people shouldn't look to Disney for queer representation in animation, that there may be a decline of superhero shows where many queer characters are, and noted a limited number of out TV stars out there. Although by midway through the year LGBTQ representation looked grim, due to what I've mentioned earlier, indie animations made clear that queerness is normal, just as it should be in real life.

Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs and Wayback Machine. This was the nineteenth article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on January 16, 2023.

None of these indie animations would even be recognized by GLAAD, which recently promoted the animated series Chicago Party Aunt, and animated films, [5] and with their nominees for the GLAAD Media Award, blogposts, and annual reports, nor by queer feminist magazines like Autostraddle, a queer feminist magazine. Instead, they have been recognized by fans and supporters. This includes those such as Helluva Boss, Ollie & Scoops, Eddsworld, a new season of Hazbin Hotel in development, along with others in development like The Descendants, Wild Card, Far Fetched, and Indigo, to name a few.

In the year ahead, there are bound to be more LGBTQ series, with the premiere of the yuri series The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady in January, the second season of D4DJ in January, the new series Yuri Is My Job! in April, and the new season of Birdie Wing, also in April. Another yuri series, I'm in Love with the Villainess is also set to air this year, while the sci-fi yuri manga, Hoshikuzu Telepath, is in development. This is coupled with continued release of yuri manga, visual novels, and the planned release of Love Live! anime spinoffs Nijiyon Animation and Genjitsu no Yohane: Sunshine in the Mirror. Both will likely have yuri subtext in line with other Love Live! anime series, which only have women as characters. There are indications that anime adaptations of Hikikomari Kyuuketsuki no Monmon aka The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess, Whisper Me A Love Song, Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games, and Vampeerz may be premiering this year.

Despite these positives, I worry that LGBTQ representation in animation, this year, may wane, in line with declining representation in film. For Western animation, what shows can fill the void left by The Owl House, Amphibia, Kid Cosmic, Dead End, gen:LOCK, High Guardian Spice, or even Q-Force? Its hard to know if existing series can fill that gap. In anime, there is more possibilities, due to the aforementioned yuri series, and any possible yaoi (boy's love) series.

However, there is some hope for representation in Western animation. The next season of The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder is coming in February, along with Ark: The Animated Series which features a lesbian protagonist, the animated series Princess Power and Velma in January, and the Nimona animated film in the summer. New seasons of Witch from Mercury, Arcane, Star Trek: Lower Decks, The Great North, Invincible, The Ghost and Molly McGee, and Disenchantment may premiere. The pilot episode of S.A.L.E.M.: The Secret Archive of Legends, Enchantments, and Monsters or the film which precedes the Lumberjanes series might air.

There might be new information about an animated series set after The Legend of Korra, which had two bisexual protagonists (Asami and Korra), which will focus on an unnamed earthbender, a film centered around Korra said to be released in 2026. There might be LGBTQ characters in Kiff, Hailey's On It!, and Iwájú, which are scheduled to begin airing this year, or those in future series such as Primos, Moana, Tiana, and Iyanu: Child of Wonder.

Animation may continue to be in a bit of a rough patch and more may flock to indie animation in hopes of finding an alternative to the studio system. That is what can be easily predicted for this year.

Notes

[5]  Strange World featured a gay couple: Ethan Clade and Diazo. In 2022, there were been bisexual and lesbian characters in Catwoman (specifically Catwoman and Batwoman), queer characters in Turning Red (Priya Mangal), a lesbian woman in Lightyear (Alisha Hawthorne), along with lesbian women in DC League of Super-Pets (Nancy), and Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! (Velma Dinkley and Coco Diablo).

Is Chicago Party Aunt trying to hard? Probably. Is it "good"? Probably not.

But fuck I'm a sucker for her supportive loving relationship with her nephew.

[purge-samauwu]

Everything that's mildly decent or great on Netflix always gets shitty marketing and I'm so tired😭

When you do have health insurance

[reaganridleys]

look. the way she said "reagan and brett" specifically. if she was just talking about them as characters why not mention the others? why not say "their endings"? breagan was absolutely endgame wasn't it? i'm going to go fucking feral. ron and reagan failed as a couple because ron needed more from her, he needed someone who would put him above all else, and reagan cannot do that. her work means everything to her, and she'd never be happy without it. that doesn't mean that she's incapable of being in a healthy relationship, it just means she needs to be with someone who understands that.

and here we have brett. someone who understands that about her, who knows her quirks and insecurities and that her prioritising her work doesn't mean she cares any less about the people that matter to her. and, importantly, he doesn't need 24/7 supervision and attention. he's clingy and emotionally damaged, sure, but that doesn't manifest in the same way it did for staedtler. he isn't burdened with how much he hates his job, and he can handle being without a partner. literally just get this man a dog and he'll be golden while reagan is busy. i'm so furious we'll presumably never get to see this play out. i wanted that build up, baby!! the build up of their relationship platonically has been so good and i wish i could've seen those sparks of romance between them before they finally got together. and how would they have gotten together, too? who would've asked who? would someone outside of them have to step in? or can you imagine gigi having to hype brett up to ask reagan on a date? that would've been so fucking cute dude. and honestly, even if they weren't going to get together but would simply be single together, i'd take that too. god. ghgfhdgnsjfdnkfnsng inside job deserved better send tweet
