Everyone Is Gay: Difference between revisions

[[File:touhou_kissingtouhou kissing.jpg|link=Touhou|frame|[[Big Fancy House|Scarlet Devil Mansion]] seems to be [[Touhou|Gensoukyou]]'s version of a lesbian bar.]]

* ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma One Half]]'', mostly as a side-effect of Ranma being the [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]] regardless of the gender of [[Gender Bender|him/her]] or his/her partner.

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Gundam Wing]]'', in complete defiance of the show's 1-to-1 gender parity (and the fact that about half those man/woman pairs are [[Official Couple|Official Couples]]s or extremely close to it). Rarely this also applies to the women, usually by authors too kind-hearted to give them [[Die for Our Ship|the usual treatment]]. This isn't helped by [[Word of Dante|the director supposedly saying]] "[[Beam Me Up, Scotty|I can't write boy-girl romances]]" (he actually said he couldn't write romance '''period''', not distinguishing boy-girl from boy-boy, boy-robot, and robot-humongous centipede) in an interview (though he also said that didn't mean it was impossible).

* ''[[K-On!]]'', as there just aren't many other options, along with Tsumugi being a [[Yuri Fan|Yuri Fangirl]]girl.

* ''[[Lucky Star]]'', with its [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast]], compounded by Konata [[Otaku Surrogate|playing erotic bishoujo games]], Kagami's (non-romantic) [[Tsundere]] attitude, [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|Yutaka & Minami]], and then there's [[Yuri Fan|Hiyori]] lampshading this trope for comedy.

* ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'', further fueled by the enormous amounts of [[Les Yay]] [[Ship Tease|Ship Teasing]] within the [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast]].

* ''[[MaiMy-HiME]]'', for the same reason as ''Nanoha''.

* ''[[Saint Seiya]]''. There is no limit to the gay pairings in that one, since, well, about 95% of the characters are guys, and about 90% of them look effeminate in the manga. <ref> e.g Camus' has prominent eyelashes and what looks like nail-polish & lipstick</ref> Never mind all the Bronzies are half-brothers. Everything's possible, even twincest with characters like Kanon and Saga who are hugely popular.

** The anime also added its fair share of fuel to the fire by boosting the androgyny of characters like [[Viewer Gender Confusion|Lizard Misty and Aphrodite Pisces]] several levels, and by adding gratuitous instances of male fanservice.<ref> Everyone agrees that [[Shower Scene|Saga took way too many baths]] in a ridiculously short amount of time!</ref> And then there's the infamous Ep. 59 at Libra Temple, featuring the most [[Ho Yay]] overloaded scene on the whole Anime.

* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''. Of the [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast|three male characters with names]], two are the main character's relatives, one is an unrequited love interest, and none have any idea what's happening around them. [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica/Ho Yay|Over half the female characters come off as lesbians]] (something that [http://images.puella-magi.net/2/2e/Source_TBD_Scan_1.jpg official art] is only too happy to encourage). That this trope takes effect surprised no one.

* All over the place in the ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' and ''[[XxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'' fandoms, which is sort of inevitable given that they're both [[CLAMP]] products.

* This is happening more and more in the ''[[Durarara!!]]'' fandom, [[Word of God|much to the author's dismay]]. Which didn't stop said author writing ''their own'' [[Yaoi]] [[Crack Fic]].

* ''[[The Idolmaster (anime)|The Idolmaster]]'' to the point where some fans were enraged that a male was put into the show as the producer. Being the only male in an otherwise [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast]] however means he can still be largely ignored.

* Happens incredibly often in the ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' fandom. Aldo, Donny, and Stiglitz are usually portrayed as [[Manly Gay]], Wicki is [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]], and Utivich is [[The Twink]] (though that occasionally happens to Omar, too). Col. Landa may or may not be a [[Depraved Homosexual]] in [[Fanfic]].

* Also ''very'' common in ''[[Tron]]'' fandom. There's justification in that, out of [[Tron|two]] [[Tron: Legacy|films]], eight video games, an [[Alternate Reality Game]], and two graphic novels, there are ''maybe'' ten female characters. ''Uprising'' has yet to air, but there's only one known female among regular cast members. Out of those, three [[Tron 2.0|(Mercury, Ma3a, Eva Popoff)]] were sent to [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]. Lora was [[Put on a Bus]] to Washington DC. [[Sequel Non Entity|There's no word on what happened to her program, Yori]]. And Jordan Canas (Flynn's wife) is barely a footnote before getting [[Stuffed in The Fridge]]. Meanwhile, both films have handsome men and lots of [[Sensual Spandex]]. It's like the [[Yaoi Fangirl]] all-you-can-eat.

* ''[[Blake's Seven7|Blakes Seven]]''. One of the most-slashed shows ever, mostly because the show deliberately avoids making the characters' motivations 100% clear, so you never know what they're thinking and who they are ''really'' attracted to. Blake/Avon is the most charged, but it was an early femmeslash pioneer with Cally and Jenna.

* The ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' fandom are the ones who ''created slash as a concept'' in the first place, the ENTIRE main cast has been slashed together, no matter how weird the pairings have to be in order to [[Tying Up Romantic Loose Ends|Tie Up Romantic Loose Ends]]. The two main female characters, Uhura and Chapel, are shipped together just to even things out.

* ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]'' has fics where everyone comes out as either outright gay or bisexual. Apart from the [[Fan-Preferred Couple|ever-popular]] Sam and Carly, Spencer often tells the girls that he is bisexual, usually with his best friend Socko, Wendy is often made gay so one of the girls can go out with her as part of the story's drama, Freddie comes out and admits he has a crush on Spencer, as well as admitting his crush on Carly is overcompensating to look normal.

* Very common in ''[[Law and& Order (Franchise)|Law and& Order]]'' fanfic, which generally pairs up [[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit|Olivia/Alex]], [[Law & Order|Abbie/Serena]] and [[Law & Order: Trial by Jury|Tracey/Kelly]]. Oddly, the men are generally left alone.

* Frequently the case in ''[[Glee]]'' fanfiction. This is helped by the fact that the show has numerous canon gay and bisexual characters,<ref>Kurt, Blaine, Santana, Brittany, Karofsky, Sebastian and Sandy</ref>, yet in fanfic even the canon straight characters are often shipped in same-sex pairings. For example, one of the most popular couples in the fandom is Rachel/Quinn, both of whom have only shown interest in boys on the show. By contrast, the gay characters are rarely shipped with opposite-sex characters once their sexuality is established on-screen, especially those who've had [[Anvilicious]] [[Coming Out Story|Coming-Out Storylines]]lines like Kurt and Santana.

* ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' fanfics. Fox and Wolf are almost ''always'' openly gay. It doesn't help that, until ''[[Star Fox Assault (Video Game)|Assault]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'', the cast was almost ''entirely'' male (with one un-determinable gender).

* [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]] uses this a lot.

* ''[[Metalocalypse]]'', with its nearly all-male recurring cast, is ripe for this trope. While all of Dethklok does show interest in women (specifically, ladies), and Skwisgaar and Nathan actually shown in bed with a few, all of the notable women they date ''look like the other band members''. Combine that with the mountains and mountains of [[Ho Yay|gay innuendo]], the band's canon relationship as [[True Companions]], and the rampant substance abuse in the show, it doesn't even necessarily have to be a matter of [[Everyone Is Gay]] as much as No One Is Straight.

* When the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' fandom isn't shipping the ponies with OCs or genderswapping the characters, they ship them with each other, and inevitably this trope is the result. The [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast]] in all series certainly helps, with G3 lacking ''any'' male characters aside from [[Cute Shotaro Boy|Spike]].
