I saw that series with deliberate Lampshade Hanging should be placed in Ship Tease... Is it all right for me to move some pages over? For example: Bang Dream (Bandori), from a series that has countless Lampshade Hanging and genuine teasing (a girl teasing another girl about writing a love letter to her iirc) and girls crushing on each other etc. Since Ho Yay seems overrun with wicks.

I mainly know anime and manga (might look through games later), so I'll probably focus on those. I'm thinking of moving or moving parts of:

Moved:

  • Bang Dream (Mainly has overt ship tease and girls crushing on each other.)
  • Gankutsuou (Has a heavily implied gay character, trans character, and implied gay emotional attachments.)
  • Sarazanmai (It's an Ikuhara anime with a lot of deliberate gay implications and at least one canon gay couple.)
  • Sailor Moon (A lot of the moments listed read deliberate, and there's canonical LGBT characters.)

Partially moved:

  • CLAMP (The series has countless LGBT characters.)
    • Did a partial move to CLAMP of official couples and heavily implied crushes.
  • Elegant Yokai Apartment Life (Yushi and Hase's relationship gets lampshade hanging from many characters.)
  • Kyo Kara Maoh! (Wolfram and Yuuri are engaged. I don't really want to engage in ship-war discourse so if anyone else wants to add any of the others, I won't mess with it.)
    • Did a partial move to Kyo Kara Maoh!. If anyone wants to add anything else feel free, but mainly added obvious "couple-like" lampshading.

Wondering about:

  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica (No idea if I should, but I read the movie made it so the Ship Tease was more obvious as Ship Tease.)
  • Sk8 the Infinity (One of the main male protags, Langa, is highly implied to have a crush on the other, Reki. Yes I know I'm very focused on the series right now. If anyone thinks it doesn't work, feel free to mention.)

I'll probably also look through the rest of the page to see if there's any series I recognize with lampshade-hanging or deliberate subtext.

  • Edit: I have no idea why the series listed aren't paragraphing.
  • Edit 2: Figured it out and fixed that.
  • Edit 3 at 6 PM CST 4/19: Rearranged list. Got rid of Nabari because it looks like they kind of had a shippy relationship but for now I'm *shrug*

I made that list in part because I thought it'd be a lot of big edits and I'm not sure about some of them. I'm going to move some obvious ones like Bang Dream and Sailor Moon, but if anyone has anything to note for the others, I'm all ears.

Realized there's a lot of inbounds to the Sailor Moon and CLAMP pages - I was thinking mainly about the deliberate lampshade / ship tease in those pages, but now I'm worried I leapt before looking. Should those stay as is?

Edit 4/19 4:45 AM CST: I saw the change for Sailor Moon was accepted, and put a link to the Ship Tease page in the spaces it looked appropriate, so that people would see it easily. For CLAMP, if it's not acceptable, I can just move the official couples. I'll come back tomorrow, since I'm not totally familiar with how cut-listing works.

Edit: 4/19 6 PM CST: Deleted because the changes are done and listed above.

For Madoka and SK8, I don't know if they count despite feeling high in subtext, so I don't plan on messing with them. (Though for SK8, if done, I was thinking a partial move for Langa/Reki and Adam/Tadashi, since those seem the most deliberately teased, with a mention of dubbed Cherry and Joe. Edit 4/19: Question no longer relevant.)

4 more series:

  • El Cazador de la Bruja - the page reads like Ship Tease more than fan reaction.
  • Psycho-Pass - The majority of this page is talking about canon lesbian character and her relationship with another woman. The less obvious Ho Yay could move back to YMMV.
  • Yuki Yuna is a Hero - The entirety of the page reads like Ship Tease.
  • Nabari no Ou - Thought about it a bit more after staring at examples, and the series seems pretty teasy versus fan reaction, and the manga artist wrote an LGBT manga series, Shimanami Tasogare.

Want to do partial move:

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion - Moving Kaowshin. There's enough of the other Ship Tease on the Ship Tease page to get a decent page going.

Wondering:

That's all in case of moving pages. Any others, I'm not familiar enough with or feels a little too ambiguously between ship tease / ho yay / homoerotic subtext. After that, I'm just planning on changing some wicks that look appropriate to change, slowly.

I just figured this out while doing a search a little after I made that last post, unfortunately. I'll be moving over there, thanks.
