Ok so is anyone else seeing a deeper meaning to Sanrio Boys or am I just crazy? I feel like the boy's liking Sanrio characters is symbolic for being gay and the main character being scared to admit it is an allusion to the fear of coming out? #SANRIOBOYS #SanrioDanshi /EmnthFau0c Sanrio boys is literally a show about coming out and feeling welcome in a group of lgbtq friends but they replaced every mention of being queer with Sanrio products It aims to bring more and more boys into its kawaii cult.īut a third, perhaps an unintended consequence, is the incredible parallel that it makes to the experience of coming out as queer.It increases Sanrio’s footprint among middle school and high school girls.
