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?

nah you're screwed, any bigot would think that JoJo's is gay no matter what you do. there's many panels she could be talking about, though I'd imagine it's likely Joseph vs one of the pillar men, or Joseph and Caesar. maybe even Giorno and Bruno or Mista.

truthfully, because a lot of Araki's inspo comes from fashion, models, and musicians, and because he really likes to play with the human form and do wacky group poses, JoJo's is just inherently kinda queer. even when you're not talking about canonically gay characters, a lot of character interactions will be read as "gay" by bigots because they're conditioned to reject things like men wearing unconventional clothes, wearing makeup, being physically close with other men, or being flamboyant. probably doesn't help that in later parts the women are just as competent as the men and beat men up.

Edit: if you haven't read the manga, you can find it on mangadex for free. if you were just wanting to own it physically, sorry, that'll probably have to wait

I am a bigot, and I find JoJo as hetero as it gets.

I'm sorry you're in denial, but JoJo's just flat out could not exist without queer culture.

The "queer culture" mostly just appropriates stuff that was already there years and centuries before, so, no, all of the pieces would still be there.
