That's right, James. Feel free to pout all you want! I would too if people were so obssessed with questioning my sexuality! (Well, actually...they seem to an awful lot... which just goes to show how much James and I have in common!)Now... before I begin...I am not saying I have anything against gays, because frankly I don't...my fave characters on Buffy(aka Willow and Tara) are gay...so there...but it is not nice to have your sexuality questioned all the time! I know, I'm used to it! So here is my 2 pence in James' defence (he he...I'm a poet and I did't realise...)!
Okay, so I know, with pics like this flashing across your screen on a frequent basis, people do begin to wonder about our boy, Jimmy. And I'm not saying, that he sometimes doesn't act worryingly gay. But that doesn't mean to say that he is!
For starters on the scale, though I hate to admit it...he's a cartoon character for God's sake! A kid's cartoon charater... and for the same reasons that we can never have full frontal snogging...or extreme violence appear on the show, we can also not have gay guys...which is actually quite discriminative if you think about it. But still... the US censors wouldn't even allow James to be seen with boobs, for crying out loud! They never even took the dorky relationahip with Ash and Misty beyond childish flirting. They are that tight!
Also...I'm sure a large number of female pokemon fans are actually attracted to James... or if not, die-hard rocketshippers...of which I am both... and if he did turn out to be gay, well there go a load of your fans because it destroys all their perfect dream realities in which you are sitting on a desert island being fed chocolate by a half naked James... *sighs*...*comes back to reality* Heh heh... nevermind...
Aswell, as this, we so clearly have the prospective relationship with Jessie. Nobody is kidding me that their relationship is purely proffessional...I mean come on. Take a look at these pics for a start...
Plus, there's one minor fact that people seem to have missed...in order to be gay don't you actually have to be attracted to a member of the same sex? And, correct me if I'm wrong, but when has James ever shown interest in another man? Brocketshippers and twistedshippers seem to have very little evidence to back their theories up (not that I have anything against them...I just don't see where the idea comes from). I really cannot see any chemistry between James and Butch... or James and Brock (what in the name of all things spaztic?!?!)
And finally, the crossdressing. I think this is the main argument for people who see James as gay. While I admit it is not entirely normal for grown straight men to enjoy wearing women's clothing... it is not unheard of. What about Lilly Savage? And for that matter, normal is in the eye of the beholder. Normal for one person is not necessarily normal for another. I heard that in Japanese culture, if a guy dresses up as a woman it means something to the effect that he is evil and cunning... which makes no sense to me as James seems like neither of these. But still...On top of this... maybe James dressing up as a woman is only skin deep... he dresses up as a woman just because he enjoys dressing up as a woman. Not because he's gay. Anyway...since when has being a transvestite automatically meant that you were gay? Being gay doesn't necessarily mean you want to be or look like a woman. It seems very judgmental to me, folks...
My over all oppinion is that, yes while there is no denying that James can be incredibly camp, and that he also enjoys being a transvestite, there is no proof that he is gay. Thus...my daydreams of half naked him and chocolate remain in tact!
Thank you, come again!
