Free is not a a gay anime, and neither are any of the characters.

The anime is about friendship and swimming. the anime just gives of bromance-ish vibes,making others depict it as gay. The characters are just really close good friends, with a strong bond towards each other. People just arent used to seeing males act this close or emotional towards each other without labelling them as "gay". Although I do admit that nagisa is quite girly, but that doesnt make him gay at all. He is a very cheerful and playful character who obviously feels comforable around his male friends. WIthout being gay.

And i do feel like the creators didnt intend the show to be "gay" or yaoi, but its mostly the shippers and fujoshis over analysing their every word and action. somebody touches somebodys hand: fujoshis start screaming and thus the ship is born* seriously.

I'm not a homophobe, but stop saying free is gay. I'm sick of this bullshit. you're a homophobe, even if it's internalized.

let people have their fucking fun, let people do what they want for CHRIST'S sake !

it's not fujoshi to just fucking ship a gay ship. it's called being homosexual as long as you're not fetishizing it. lay the fuck off with your disgusting hetero-ness
