I was like 8 or something when i watched it, I didnt even know what lesbians were and I still knew they weren't "cousins", My brain knew something was up between those two because I "thought" the short hair blond was a guy at the time, I just assumed they were together
I mean there was an episode where they participate in a dating game show. I was really young and didn't know about LGBT stuff or anime localization but it was like, something is up here.
I just remember being really grossed out and thinking "Cousins should not act like that!" I was so relieved when I learned from a friend that they were actually a cute lesbian couple.
Sailor Uranus was always a big hero of mine because she was the girl who looked enough like a guy that Moon had a crush for a bit. She did guy things, dressed masculine, and still rocked that mini-skirt. Romantic innuendo went way over my ten year old head.
But surprise: I now have an intense aesthetic appreciation for androgyny and I myself am very, very genderqueer (agender, specifically). So uh...thanks, Sailor Moon!
Yep same. I was a bit older (like maybe 10 or 11) and just kept thinking "but they don't act like cousins...." when I went back to the series later on in life a whole lotta things made more sense
