bluedalahorseOh no. It has come to my attention that someone has put Utena and Young Royals against one another in a poll and people think they are polar (poll-ar?) opposites who should fight. Do they not see that such combat itself is a tool of the patriarchy?
The world is NOT READY for the story of how my unhinged love of Utena as a middle schooler actually laid the groundwork for my love of Young Royals. Young Royals and Utena are not enemies. Utena is the butch (gruff, yet comforting) art teacher with pink hair and Young Royals is the newly out high school student who is always eating lunch in her art room and asking her what it was like to live in New York before gentrification.
THEY ARE SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER IN THIS BLEAK WORLD. Do not hurt them by making them a false choice.
