You know, for a series about a culture where everyone is female until choosing a permanent gender at adulthood. And one about teen pilots who power up their divine aircraft with the power of girl-girl kissing. And was all about various love triangles between those pilots. Simoun is surprisingly hetero-normative in its message towards the end...

Oh well, just reinforces what an online friend mentioned earlier. How Japanese culture seems willing to accept, even sometimes encourage lesbian activity in its younger women. But only if its a "phase". One that they pass beyond as adults to become "normal" women...

hetero-normative

God I hate that term. I've never seen it used in anything but a degrading manner.

Except maybe here. I was too pissed off to consider.

That story reminds me of a sci-fi story i read, by Ursula K Leguin, or Octavia Butler. Dammit brain, why won't you work! *cracks head with ball peen hammer*
