lydamorehouseToday is Wednesday, and that means that the new chapters of various manga have come out. So Mason and I have done our thing. Feel free to check it out: https://mangakast.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/sweet-sixteen/.
In this podcast, it's mostly me talking about SnK (Shingeki no Kyojin) and its various and sundry spin-offs. However, there was a very problematic section of Bleach today, which I'll discuss under the cut.
So, we've had a character Giselle who has the ability to control anyone who has been spattered with her blood. Ikkaku and Yumichika have confronted her and Yumichika has sussed out that there's something up with a person who is basically egging on a fight, even though she's defenseless. Then, Yumichika (who has been a queer-appearing character) now says to her (had to add a link because uploading pictures doesn't seem to be working for me right now for some reason):

So much wrong here, and its not clear if this previously huge fan-favorite queer character is slut-shaming with a dose of weird, or is being a raging asshole to a trans woman/being transphobic.
So, Bleach fandom is having a small freak out right about now.
