This is one of the genuinely most baffling things I've ever seen.

Some people on think it is for the Chinese market which first of all, didn't even air on the mainland, and also just standard Sinophobic stuff (yes China seems to have very mixed record in regards to queer rep, I'm probably wrong). I'm glad that there is some pushback of people saying Japanese people can be homophobic. I just kinda think the suits at top flipped and cracked down on this.
