2. I'm just saying that you're more likely to interpret interactions between two people of the same sex as friendly rather than romantic due to Heteronormativity 1. *Insert "gal pals" meme*

2. Yeahhh, to be honest, even though I try to be more open to considering the presence of the LGBT community and frequently ship characters of the same sex, I still sometimes fail to notice romantic feelings between two same sex characters. At least one of those times that it happened was kind of funny, due to the timing with my own thoughts. I was watching this anime, and I was like "I kinda feel like there's something going on between those two, but I'm not sure? Maybe I'm imagining it-- *One dude kisses the other* okay nevermind"
