Why are anime fans more accepting of lgbt folks?

Because Japan doesn't into soulless pandering to minorities. When they pander, they do a good job of it.

He means fags are gross.

These anons make great points.
Also, Jap media doesn’t make a spectacle out of gay relationships. American media treats it like a big event with multiple news networks running stories on it, essentially a publicity stunt.

anime lgbt characters: i do things and i happen to be gay
comic lgbt character: SLAVI UKRANI! TRANS RIGHTS, JAN 6 WAS A TERROR ATTACK AGAINST DEMOCRACY *punches non-descript fascist boogeyman* I BELIEVE IN CURRENT THING

because anime is gay

Maybe if you never send people deaf threats this would have never happen.

I'd say because LGBT couples in anime are better because they're just couples. There isn't the same desperate, attention-seeking validation you get from a lot of western gay couples, especially the modern ones. There's also way more company-controlled decisions in western media, which adds to the feeling that they're just put there to pander to whatever cultural shift is popular at the moment. Japanese media, on the other hand, have had non-comedic gay stuff in it since at least the '70s. Also, where manga's concerned, even with editorial pushes, what you see on paper is usually the result of something a sole author wanted, which can make things feel more personal.

Fans are usually more accepting of them for three reasons. 1: because the couples are generally better written. The characters feel more like characters than props with messages to be applauded. 2: because the romances aren't usually so aggressive about defying norms and battling strawmen. And 3: because the characters are usually more attractive than their western counterparts. This goes for pure love stories or fanservicey yuri or BL.

Examples?

You know, Lumity and Vilyn are western couples, and they feel perfectly natural.

They don't have to listen to them screech 24/7, it's just entertainment.

That depend though. Some authors like Ikuhara definitely have an agenda

Because anime has been doing it since before it was trendy.

You do know if Superman said anything for gay rights we will have a lot more examples? All we have is the same repost of one image where he kissed a dude.

statistically speaking western cartoons arent even that bad.

That reminds me of an anime in which two girls have sex, and that turns one into a motorcycle. Everytime the girl accelerate the motorcycle/girl she pushes her closer to an orgasm.

Because the early BL mangas were released in the 70s and women were welcomed into the industry since the beginning while comics and cartoons have been a boys club since before the concept of fandom became a thing. Reminder that Star Trek fangirls were already making Kirk/Spock slash fics in the 70s. It's a cultural issue
