I'm tired of all the people crying about double standards.

So, Free! has gained a bit of popularity, mainly among the female anime watchers. Looking through youtube comments I constantly find things like "omg you call this gay but you dont say anything about ecchi and boobs omg double standards". I don't see how it is in anyway a double standard. The majority of people calling Free! gay are guys. They call it gay because it has fanservice for girls. I see nothing wrong with guys calling Free! gay, because, from their point of view it is gay (assuming they are straight). And, of course guys will not say anything bad about ecchi or yuri, simply because they are guys. If you disagree I want you to go outside, find a straight male, and show him a picture of titties, and ask him if he doesn't like them. Guys will be guys, and girls will be girls. Girls have every right not to like ecchi/yuri because it is tits and assfest. But that doesn't mean you can go crying double standards, when it makes perfect logical sense. Oh, and I'm a guy, and I actually enjoy Free!, despite the fanservice.

It's just that many complained about Free! and not many girls complain about the etchi fest according to the anime community. Many guys are also agreeing people should stop complaining about fanservice for girls and there are heaps of ecchi male orientated shows.

and they aren't calling it gay because they're guys, they're butthurt because they didn't get the anime they want and feel betrayed by KyoAni.

I agree with Itermin8rX. It's not about double standards that we're pissed off about, ti's the fact that they're unbelievably butthurt that KyoAni has not given them another ecchifest and instead tried something diferent, which is not an easy feat. Not to mention a few of these guys have been v-e-r-y adamant in saying that all women (not just fujoshi, but women anime fans in general) have killed the entire anime industry. ALL OF IT. Because if a pioneering studio like KyoAni makes one anime for women, then obviously this means every single anime studio in existence will follow in their footsteps and every anime ever made from now on will consist of nothing but bishounen and gay ship teases. Don't believe me? Please let me direct your attention to this lovely letter where one user of a website claims that women will destroy the anime industry in the same way that (in his words) women caused the Holocaust. I wish I was making this up.
I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.

Gay means homosexual, meaning homosexual for the characters. At no point have the guys groped each other or tried measuring each other's dicks. There's fanservice and yeah fangirls ship the male characters, but the anime itself isn't BL, yaoi, or shounen-ai. So anyone calling Free! gay is immature and incapable of coming up with compelling arguments against the anime.

Haters will be everywhere. I just hate that we women can't have any fanservice just for us like there's a bunch of anime that is fanservice for men.

I think it's a good idea that KyoAni had and the way a lot of people are saying good things about it, will give ideas to other studios and make more anime like this.

Bleh, well I guess ive been seeing the other group of guys. Yknow, the normal people who know nothing about anime and decided to call it gay.

I didnt hear anyone complaining Hikigaya and Saika, and that couple is almost close to canon.

gay in modern sense of definition means homosexual,and if it doesnt show males being sexually attached to one another no one has the right to call it gay;if u do then it becomes another kind of stereotype.unless u mean gay as in happy,which becomes out of context.similarly in real life u've no right to call anyone gay because of ur sterotypical image of how gays behave or dress,if they arent in a romantic relationship with the same gender.
ive just watched abit,and there is abit of sexism,in the teacher outrightly saying "girls/women cant be expected to rough it out in tents",while boys are obliged to.How selfish she booked a hotel room n didnt let the boys share the space,when theyre the ones who need their strength in training.

I agree with Apomaro-Mellow.

They're just immature.
