If It's You It's Okay: Difference between revisions

Line 47:

** GAR originated on 4chan's board. A poster was describing his feelings towards the Fate/Stay Night character Archer, and mistyped "gay" as "gar". In fact Archer is the main embodiment of GAR with lots of straight guys on the board proclaiming that they are GAR for Archer. Another character that is hugely popular in this respect and has been for around 30 years now ever since his first appearance is [[Iconic Characters|Char Aznable]] from the [[Mobile Suit Gundam]] series.

*** The term has since been refined to refer to characters who are so [[Rated M for Manly|incomprehensibly manly]] (Archer from ''[[Fate Stay Night (Visual Novel)|Fate/Stay Night]]'', <s>Kamina and Kittan</s> ''every male character'' (except Leeron) from ''[[Gurren Lagann]]'', Lockon Stratos from ''[[Gundam 00]]'', Big Boss from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'') that your own manliness is ''buried'', leaving you naught but a whimpering, swooning girl child, begging to be graced with their presence.

* Sweden from [[Axis Powers Hetalia]]. Sweden actually says this in a scanlated version of the webcomic and it is even stated officially that though Sweden is, in fact, gay, he only acts that way around Finland.

* Uttered at the end of [[.hack Sign|.hack//SIGN]], the [[All There in the Manual|novel ".hack//ZERO"]] indicates that {{spoiler|Tsukasa and Subaru}} do in fact date.

** And apparently living together in .hack//LINK [[Manga]], 10 years later. {{spoiler|Tsukasa tells Tokkio that "he" might just go home in the middle of their adventure, so ''she'' can be with Subaru.}} This line was, btw, [[Hide Your Lesbians|dropped in the "official" translation.]]

* ''[[Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl]]''. I mean, come ''on'' now. Guy confesses to girl. Girl turns down guy. Guy gets in freak accident with UFO and is reconstructed as a girl. Girl (first girl) suddenly develops interest in main character (former boy) and starts spending time with her.

** Tomari may be a better example then Yasuna, though she could easily be a closeted [[Lesbian Jock]]. Yasuna [[Does Not Like Men]] {{spoiler|due to her inability to see them properly}} and probably has [[Single Target Sexuality]].

Line 65:

* In ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', Kotetsu becomes like this after being given a lecture by Nagi after [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|finding out]] the cute girl he met is [[Attractive Bent Gender|Hayate in drag]]. Hayate is '''[[Berserk Button|not happy]]''' about it.

** Luca also implies that she has this for Hayate-as-a-girl, she states that she'd already have fallen for him if he were a guy, but believes he's a girl because he's been cross-dressed in every encounter with her yet. Placing her within the harem canonically, and just waiting for the bridget-dropping.

* It's very strongly hinted - but ''just'' short of explicit - that Leon feels this way about Count D in [[Pet Shop of Horrors]]. For Count D, Leon would be the only ''human'' he could maybe possibly ever feel attracted to. It's... problematic.

* In ''[[Penguin Revolution]],'' this seems to be more or less Yuzuru Narazaki's approach to his feelings for [[Sweet Polly Oliver|Yukari]], given that at the time of his [[Love Epiphany]] he still thinks she's a guy, and doesn't find out otherwise until three manga volumes later.

* In [[Mahou Sensei Negima]], Setsuna, who is rather obviously [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|paired off]] with Konoka from early on, admits that she finds Negi cute and was also attracted to his teenage form. Said comment is probably the basis for [[OT 3|shipping all three together]]. Apart from the obvious hot factor, of course.

* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' Shinji is most likely straight considering how he expresses attraction to Misato, Asuka, and Rei. However, in the manga at one point he thinks "I was attracted to him (Kaworu) even though I knew I shouldn't like a boy like that."

** It's made pretty obvious in the anime that he feels something for Kaworu.

Line 79:

** Touga is implied to be a variation on this trope: it seems he likes girls for meaningless sex, and guys for emotional affairs. Utena - and Nanami - being an exception to that rule. Although Akio is the only guy he's really implied to sleep with. One could also make a case that this trope summarizes Saijonji's feelings for Touga, but just the same, it's possible to argue that it's purely platonic.

** Completely averted by Shiori towards Juri. It's the turning moment of her interview in the Black Rose Saga:

{{quote| Shiori: I always had a place in Juri-san's heart. I'm the winner! What shall I do? I'm so delighted to know my friend's secret I almost can't bear it! She suffered alone, looking at my picture in secret... No good! It's still no good! How could you look at me like that?! Why did it all turn out this way?}}

* Lau from ''[[Black Butler (Manga)|Black Butler]]'' is a [[Handsome Lech]] who mainly has Ran Mao around as eye-candy and to sit on his lap but appears to be [[If Its You Its Okay]] towards Ciel if his occasional attempts at flirting with him are of any indication.

** Also, Grell. While she makes frequent advances on male characters, she also declared once that she was in love with Madam Red.

Line 91:

** Also, Cyril clearly likes the ladies but he is also obsessed with Tyki and even flirts with him a couple of times.

* ''[[To Love Ru]]'': Momo ignores all the guys who hit on her at school and only looks at Rito. Even when he changes gender, Momo doesn't seem to mind.

* Played straight and subverted in Doushitemo Furetakunai: The main character is actually gay, but captures the attention of several 'straight guys' during the story. One of the 'straight guys' falling for him later gets into spotlight and falls for another gay character, but takes a lot of time for it so it still can be considered this trope.

* Guts from [[Berserk]] is of the asexual variety. Due to {{spoiler|being raped as a child}}, he [[Hates Being Touched]], but eventually, Casca is able to change his mind as applies to her.

* Similar to the above, Hinako from ''[[Bitter Virgin]]'', traumatised by {{spoiler|years of sexual abuse}}, only ever allows Daisuke to get close to her, as he doesn't think of her "as a woman". At least, that's what she thinks.

* Kanbaru of ''[[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Bakemonogatari]]'' is a self proclaimed lesbian with a crush on Hitagi. However, she also once told Koyomi that if he didn't already have Hitagi she'd totally date him. She once did [[Attempted Rape]] on him as well.

* Nana Komatsu of ''[[Nana]]'' is implied to be this for [[Even the Girls Want Her|Nana Osaki]]. She has a very [[Les Yay]] ridden relationship with her but is otherwise straight.

* ''[[Lupin III ~~the~~ Woman Called Fujiko Mine]]'': Oscar, who's "gay as a springtime", as people has put it, but only for Zenigata.

* ''[[Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine (Anime)|Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine]]'': Oscar, who's "gay as a springtime", as people has put it, but only for Zenigata.
