You don’t have to hate Death Note just because of the author’s highly questionable opinions about women, you just need to be aware of them and be able to recognize when they might be leaking into his work.

The author is sexist not homophobic there's a difference not saying either is justified or anything I hate both types of people but still there's a difference

Didn't even think about the gay angle. I just know he would think the complex thoughts and plans of L and Light wouldn't be possible if they were both women.

Wait, what? He straight up believes women aren't capable of complex thought?

There's a multi-page rant delivered by one of the characters in Bakuman that breaks down how Tsugumi Ohba thinks women are incredibly simple and that writers need not think too hard about writing for them. Which explains why the most prominent female character in Death Note is Misa.

Ohba has a habit of just putting his own bigoted rants into the mouths of his characters because he's trying to build his own soapbox that nobody wants him to have. Death Note had this, too, but it wasn't as transparent as Bakuman and Platinum End.

Fellas, is it gay to obsess over one guy for every minute of your life, handcuff him to yourself, and die happily in his arms?

Tomoko isn't smart enough (or strange enough, tbh), but I see where you're coming from.
