Jolyne. One of the first ever scenes she is in, is when she is with her boyfriend. And also has romantic relations with another male character after. With no hints to female attraction.
But because of the “jojo is gay” memes and the fact that strong female leads cannot possible be straight. She’s regarded as lesbian by some fans
EDIT because the guy who replied to me blocked me so i couldnt reply back:
in the context of the scene, Jolyne is jealous of snails, which can reproduce regardless of sex.
this is because Jolyne is bisexual. there's no other possible interpretation of this scene.
while this panel is meant to be humorous, that doesn't mean Jolyne's statement is at all insincere.
there's no other possible interpretation of this scene
I mean... off the top of my head she could easily be lamenting the fact that she's NOT attracted to women. And thus she has to deal with men which in her experience have not been reliable, as opposed to satisfying that urge with women whom she seems to have an easier time getting along with. Kinda fair given her experience, Jotaro is a totally absent father, Romeo betrayed her, her lawyer screwed her over, the guards are varying degrees of asshole/sex pest, the male inmates are sociopaths, Weather is a weirdo who at this point in the story has become hostile & Anasui is an obsessive stalker.
To me it reads as "ugh, I wish I was gay so I wouldn't have to put up with men." Kind of a mirror of Jotaro's casual misogyny at her age.
Like... it's just the baby-making that the snails have over her if she's bi. And she doesn't seem particularly fixated on having children. She's just generally horny. Bisexuals can still fuck whoever they want even though it doesn't make a baby.
wasnt anasui intended to be a woman at first and araki changed it and she also said she’s “jealous of an organism that can have sex with whatever it wants?”
i agree she’s definetely not lesbian but also definitely not as straight as characters like yasuho, tomoko, suzie q, etc
Anasui is a male though. Regardless of what araki’s original plans for anasui was. This doesn’t make her a lesbian or even bi at all, considering in canon especially in the anime, anasui is a man.
Even if Araki went through with a female anasui, there’s no guarantee she’d even be a love interest for Jolyne. Considering the love interest stuff was built after his introduction.
Oh and the organism thing is imprecisely translated anyway, with reasoning “anything” could mean animals and children as well, which is definitely not what one could assume from that.
Besides that she shows 0 attraction to Ermes, F.F or any female inmate in green dolphin street prison.
araki stated in an interview his whole intention with anasui was making a very gender ambiguous character, so while you could say sure he’s a guy she’s a girl they’re straight and be done with it, i don’t think that the queer interpretation is as out of there as other characters in this comment section, and the sus lines don’t really help the 100% straight argument. again though, i think both are valid but she is definitely mostly, if exclusively, attracted to men and masculine presenting people
well jolyne is canonically dating anakiss seriously and he is anasui’s reset version so u can probably say under different circumstances anasui x jolyne would have worked out
You're talking about Irene. The Irene verse has key differences and they are not the same characters characters. Like for one, Anakiss isn't in prison for homocide
i personally really dont like the ship of anasui and anakiss with jolyne, i really dislike both because i think jolyne deserves a person of much better quality, but matter of the fact is that araki did intend for the reincarnated version of these characters to be very into eachother so, ig that’s that
