The Movie We Never Had
Apr. 20th, 2024 03:07 pmI'm pretty sure someone else said it but you really did have to be there when Yuri on Ice aired in 2016. Tumblr was going nuts for this show. I'm pretty sure we broke Tumblr and Crunchyroll from the sheer force of fans trying to see and talk about the finale.
Not to mention that it was 2016, and canon queer characters were incredibly few and far between. It was a recipe for a massive fandom.
(Yeah, there were people who insisted up and down that Yuri and Victor never canonically kissed on the ice because they didn't make on screen lip contact, which was incredibly stupid logic. There was definite homophobia going on regarding if it was Canon Queer or queerbaiting/'fujoshi bait'. But it was so important for people who, perhaps, never thought they'd get anything close to canon queer characters, or at least not in a show like Yuri on Ice.)
Anyway, RIP Ice Adolescence. We'll always hold this series in our hearts.
