“ooh teru doesnt know what gay people are, teru doesnt know that he can date boys” STOP!!!!!!!!

this is just the mob infantilization stunt all over again, back when people saw a sweet character with autism and went “huhuhu obviously this means he doesnt know what romance is and would miss any and all romantic advances towards him out of stupid obliviousness, im very smart”

guys. GUYS. PLEASE. teru is not an idiot and shouldnt be treated like one. how could he not know what gay people are, its not like he was sheltered??? he didnt even have parents around to DO THE SHELTERING WHXJWJDMJWKD. you really think teru, this extremely observant and paranoid kid, hasnt seen ONE gay couple in his life walking around and realized “oh hey thats a thing that exists”

also it really feels like people in the mob fandom are way too afraid of giving this kid a little bit of internalized homophobia. when we first met teru, he was a 14 year old gang leader. look me in the eyes and tell me that, this kid isnt currently suffering from the “im not gay, but i believe in their beliefs” mindset and then learns later down the road that maybe he was so adamant about Not Being Gay because of the world he grew up in teaching him to repress and deny a part of himself

#mp100 #seen one too many posts about teru and mob not knowing that gay people exist and its driving me up the wall #so many terrible takes over the years whdjwjdjjek it never ends #mob psycho 100 #hanazawa teruki #seriously tho if i see one more ‘teru is a little baby boy who doesnt know what the word gay means uwu’ post im gonna throw a chair #its like no one here has heard of yosuke persona 4 — my partner the smartest man on earth #not the golden version mind you. the original version where yosuke confesses his feelings to the protagonist at the end #because he overcame his internalized homophobia realizing that he HIMSELF was gay and he was desperately trying to hide and deny it
