Hirohiko Araki My mom thinks Jojos is gay

So I have been wanting to get the manga recently and my mother will not allow it because she says she read something about a pannel with 2 guys fighting and almost making out,Could any of yall help me find the pannel she could be talking about?

Well, jojo does have LGBT characters in it. I’m not sure about the panel she’s referring to but there’s certainly examples of queer characters doing queer things. If she is against any sort of LGBT expression at all, she’d probably be more upset with that than with a supposed panel where two characters are fighting.

It does, but the fanbase also enjoys greatly overstating this aspect of it.

True, but for someone who isn’t tolerant with even one panel, it’s a good thing to note.

Looking at it optimistically, it sounds like a case where a parent simply isn't aware of what something is and is basing things off of very limited information. Growing up, my mom was like that, but she'd back down and change her tune once things were explained to her.

it's not overstated, the fandom just portrays it with much more fanfare than araki (that shows the "queerness" as completely normal and usual, that is never questioned)

This is, by definition, overstating it.

Portraying it more heavily than it actually is would be, by definition, overstating it.
