Why did you guys tell me he was gay? This is the most straight thing I've read in my entire life.
He straight up talks about his feelings in Confession of a Mask But Yeah clearly the narrative by which he was merely gay instead of a complex individual whose sexual appetites tended to range widely is brainlet-tier simplification and propaganda by the Usual Suspects(r)
Easton Thomas
Him being gay is unironically Western propaganda fabricated by post-war liberals. He had a wife and children and there is no evidence he ever went on gay escapades. It's literally made up. All people have to go on is themes of homoeroticism that span through his works, and the aspect that Yukio Mishima was a semi-autobiographical character.

Saying that men that can appreciate masculine bodies and have deep friendships with other males are gay is just another way to weaken the western man.
Easton Kelly
Wait so was he gay or not?
I read sound of waves and it didn’t seem that gay although some parts were weird. After I heard he was gay I stopped reading his books. Are you telling me I can actually read him now?

I feel you but I see it less as that and more as a tribal, reactionary development by progressives. A decade ago you would hear people say shit like "Men can care about each other/appreciate one another's beauty without being gay" and that shit is just gone now, probably because progs are more concerned with combating their opposition than with actually being reasonable

Not a homo, just a fan of Mishima. It’s stupid to disregard his work purely because he may be gay.

Mishima did what was expected — if not demanded — of a man from his social class; his marriage had nothing to do with his sexual preferences. He was as gay as they come.

Mishima probably would not have defined himself as a homosexual. Yet - a patriarchist such as himself was inclined to homosexuality just as the Greeks, also a patriarchal society, were inclined to homosexuality.
Women in Greek culture were seen as inferior to men. If man is the ideal, why would a man not make love to another man? It's very simple - Mishima was not a homosexual. He was just a patriarch typical of Japanese culture at the time.
But he totally fucked dudes, so he definitely practiced homosexuality.
Kevin Flores
this is true. I read that even samurais practiced homosexuality to some degree.
Ayden Phillips
It is the idiocy of a patriarchical culture. You cannot have a patriarchy without massive homosexuality. Such a culture is a culture that worships power. Consider the massive amounts of homosexuality the Nazis practiced. It's all typical - your ideas have consequences - and the consequence of a patriarchy is homosexuality. (FYI I do not advocate a matriarchy either - just pointing out the very real flaws in patriarchy.)
Jacob Nelson
Perhaps, but not by enough to be a significant majority. And in the larger world they're slightly less than half the population iirc.
Jace Lopez
>It is the idiocy of a patriarchical culture No such thing as.
Joshua Morgan
Some people would argue the homosexuality makes patriarchy even more awesome, but they're gay.
Chase Cook
It's a different homosexuality though, it was a purely physical homosexuality. Just like playing football with the lads now, it was normal to have a gay orgy with the lads. They would still have wife and kids.
Owen Sullivan
>You cannot have a patriarchy without massive homosexuality. Nonsense.
Oliver Fisher
Yes, you can read him. Homoeroticism features in some of his books, but he is only understood as a gay writer in the West. In Japan, this is not the case and his homoeroticism is associated more with his right-wing endorsement of masculinity and virility (as it was intended). You can thank Americans and their diseased minds.
He visited gay bars for his book Forbidden Colors which he was working on, and it wasn't a secret. He stated it outright, saying he was observing the gay culture of post-war Japan as it was a major plot point of the book. This is called being a good writer, not a closet homosexual. The Western academics who have received Mishima (who was treated with either silent respect or ignored out of shame in Japan) of course read closet homosexuality into it, as it is the kind of narrative that sells here, especially with the degenerated minds of a literature department professor (seriously, these people are obsessed with homosexuality). His widow consequently was portrayed as being in denial about Mishima's sexual adventures, instead of, you know, taking her for her word that her husband wasn't gay.
You wishing for him to be gay doesn't make him gay, sorry.
Hudson Taylor
he was gay though
Evan Gonzalez
We don't have to guess, Mishima himself wrote an article on homosexuality and Japan. It's called "All Japanese are Perverse" and in it he clarifies that he is concerned with the narcissistic element of homoeroticism, and its potential for self-representation, which leads to an erotic obsession with performance. Homosexuality always featured in this artistic sense for him, was never a sexual orientation.
Henry King
>In Japan, his homoeroticism is associated more with his right-wing endorsement of masculinity and virility He’s largely ignored in Japan because of his ultra-nationalist views and his backward-looking obsession with an unrecoverable past. His homosexuality fits in with this only tangentially; you’re a fool if you believe he wouldn’t be respected in Japan right now if he was a mainstream LDP supporter who happened to be gay. >You can thank Americans and their diseased minds. Pointing out the obvious is a sign of a diseased mind? You must be the sanest man on the planet. >He stated it outright, saying he was observing the gay culture of post-war Japan The Pete Townshend defense — Honest officer, I’m not gay — I’m using this glory hole for research! >You wishing for him to be gay doesn't make him gay, sorry. You wishing for him not to be gay doesn't make him straight, sorry.
Anthony Garcia
The appropriate question is - did he ever practice homosexuality? The answer is yes, yes he did.
Does that make him a homosexual? Is a man that steals a thief?

Other directions existing doesn't mean a return to a fully traditional way of life is possible. Mishima himself was aware of it, else his coup d'Etat which wasn't even oganized with success in mind, hence the necessary suicide that followed. it was a poetic and perhaps also a mora gesture, not a pragmatically conceived political one.

>He’s largely ignored in Japan because of his ultra-nationalist views and his backward-looking obsession with an unrecoverable past He *was* largely ignored because of it, and I have said as much myself. Contemporary Japan acknowledges Mishima again by the way, for many years now. The Japanese have no problem with homosexuality like we do, besides the protestant influence we had on them, so no, I don't believe his homosexuality would pose an issue. And I don't think it would have been a significant issue during his time either, as evidenced by his rampant homoeroticism.
>Pointing out the obvious is a sign of a diseased mind? You must be the sanest man on the planet. It's not obvious at all though, it's just a Western mindset trying to analyze Mishima through their own lense.
>You wishing for him not to be gay doesn't make him straight, sorry. I honestly wouldn't care if he was gay. If anything I would like it more than his obsession with homoeroticism as a form of self-performance, which I find to be utterly silly in fact.
Ian Ramirez
Can We agree that liking the past as an Aestetic statement without any pratical hope to resurrect it differs on the political point of view from autistically trying to make a dead horse jump obstacles? And If so can We agree that the characterization of someone as politically wanting to resurrect that past because he makes the previously described aestetic statement is an ad hominem? And If so can we infer that making that aestetic statement implies searching for another way in which society can develop which is not necessarily backwards, expecially Since as You say "Mishima Himself was aware of it"? >his coup d'Etat which wasn't even oganized with success in mind, hence the necessary suicide that followed. Absolutely granted. There he set fire to his own golden pavillon, the old Empire.

I’m not the guy who wrote the bumpkin diatribe and of course you are entitled to do what you like.

Gabriel Anderson
Yeah and traps aren't gay right?
Michael Hernandez
> I can’t see why it ought to matter where the writer chooses to stick their genitals in their private life because you are retarded and think homosexuality doesn't have any psychological characteristics outside some arbitrary attraction. It's quite obvious Mishima embodies and endorses a fetishes caricature of traditional Japan. Homosexuals co-opt and subvert every movement they latch on to.

It depends on the "trap". If someone is feminine, then it's not gay.
Robert Turner
It depends on the "trap". If someone is feminine, then it's not gay. Reducing attraction to chromosomes or whatever is an autistic form of empiricist essentialism that denies anything that is slightly difficult to measure (i.e. all the feminine traits other than chromosomes). If you see a hot trap you /are/ going to regard them as female. Even /pol/ can't help calling thorough trannies "her" without thinking about it.

Angel Lewis
He apparently hung around the Tokyo underworld at gay bars a lot while he was working on Forbidden Colors.
wouldn't say that made him gay tho, he did pretty much the same thing when he visited Thailand for Temple of Dawn or The Golden Pavilion Temple for Temple of the Golden Golden Pavilion.
I don't think mishima was gay I think he was just incredibly comfortable with his sexuality so had no problem admiring the male form or writing fiction from a fags point of view

Dear e-girls,
All your efforts and schemes have now become a mere froth on the waves. For I, unhappy though I once was, I have now passed one of life's milestones, a transition for which I owe you some debt of gratitude, however indirect. My older brother Chad invited me to go with him on one of his excursions to the Gay Quarters, and now I've crossed a barrier that every man must cross. To put it bluntly, I spent the night with a thot Chad had chosen for me. Nothing but one of those exercises in pleasure that society sanctions for men.
Fortunately enough, a single night was sufficient to bring about a great change in me. My previous concepts of women were shattered. I learned to see a girl as nothing but a plump, lascivious little animal, a contemptible playmate. This is the wonderful revelation to be found in my older brother's kind of society. And having no sympathy for his attitude toward women until that night, I now endorse it completely. Every fiber in my body tells me that I am Chad's brother.
Perhaps at this point you may feel that I am to be congratulated on having outgrown my previous dead old-fashioned views on women in favor of more enlightened one. And perhaps you are smiling contemptuously, secure in the knowledge that my lust for sluts will only serve to enhance my esteem for pure ladies like yourself. No! Let me disabuse you of any such notion. Since that night (enlightenment being exactly what it says) I have broken through all these standards into territory where there are no restraints. Thot or prude, virgin or whore, office girl or artist, there is no distinction whatever. Every woman without exception is a liar and "nothing but a plump, lascivious little animal." All the rest is makeup and costumes. And I must say that I see you as being just like all the others. Please believe that gentle user, whom you considered so sweet, so innocent, so malleable, is gone forever.
>Can We agree that liking the past as an Aestetic statement without any pratical hope to resurrect it differs on the political point of view from autistically trying to make a dead horse jump obstacles? Yes
>And If so can We agree that the characterization of someone as politically wanting to resurrect that past because he makes the previously described aestetic statement is an ad hominem? No, it only means we believe that someone is politically misguided, at worst. "I respect you but your political strategy leads nowhere" is no ad hominem.
>And If so can we infer that making that aestetic statement implies searching for another way in which society can develop which is not necessarily backwards, expecially Since as You say "Mishima Himself was aware of it"? I dont think it necessarily implies it. It might be a form of giving up hope on the future, or shedding practical concerns.
Aiden Morales
>No, it only means we believe that someone is politically misguided, at worst. "I respect you but your political strategy leads nowhere" is no ad hominem. But You agreed on point 1, it follows logically. I dont think You got What point 1 implies exactly.
Jose Robinson
The sexual intrigue itself is the result of the homosexuality. Still he was a great writier, often blurred by many his own personal neurosis however at those times he truly writes well apart from all individual conception it's amazing. Think the second and last chapters of The Sailor who fell from Grace with the Sea.
Many letters were published by his homosexual lover after his death which his family later sued or something like that. Many extremely homosexual and homoerotic themes in his works. And a bunch of obviously homosexual photos of him. Pic related. Oh and he also hanged around gay bars. He could of been bisexual but he seemed like a complete homosexual to me. And pic is one out of many even more erotic, such as him prostrating himself to the camera, multiple photos of him with his ass in position to the camera curled over, etc.
You literally don't even have to do that, just right click.
Luis Wright
It follows logically that either Mishima wasn't trying to "make a dead horse jump obstacles", or that he was trying because of a lack of purity in his own aesthetic drive. So either "I respect you but your aesthetic stance has no political content" or "I respect you but you politics don't align with your aesthetics" if you will. No ad hominem. Even if there was implied stupidity it wouldn't be ad hominem, as long as the stupidity was merely derived from another argument, but was not the argument itself.
Noah Jones
>Many letters were published by his homosexual lover after his death which his family later sued or something like that. What are those letters? I've never heard of such a thing.
