LGBT characters and how they are portrayed in Japanese media has been bothering me for a while. Do you remember that on twitter I said I already did an (small) comment on it? I found where it was, after all was when I posted the captures of the first ep of Last Friends (http://pinkujisatsu.livejournal.com/213901.html)
there are films & dramas, the problem is what role these characters play. Most of the times they are very stereotyped characters or the laughing ones, there to make comic relief. Also a lot of films have second rate actors & their stories tend to be over dramatic ones with lots of forbidden love and shit XDD (truth to be told, I didn't watch all of them so this can't be said as a rule)
