Ninjago gay character
Finally! This is probably the only instance where a character has had their sexual orientation shown in Ninjago. S12 has two unnamed lesbian women dancing and s14 has two random gay men kissing on a boat in the background. I'm gonna be looking at specific characters and at the canon part of it.
There's no sacred Ninjago lore book or guidelines where it's written, "Cole Ninjago® is exclusively attracted to women and should only be depicted as heteromantic/heterosexual". Age: Sexuality: Gay. Gender: Transman. I honestly don't see the queer side of Ninjago being talked about enough.
The basic premise of the episodes is her running away from home because she wants to move to Ninjago City and get big in the music industry. Ninjago and LGBTQ+ Ninjago Season 15 (seabound) episode 11 shows gives us a blink-and-miss moment of 2 guys kissing and expressing their love for each other!
This episode can be taken viewed as a coming out experience. Personality: Hot-headed, loyal, caring, reckless, impulsive. Now let's get started with these 2 girlies. Now we got something!. Think about it. She has the progress pride flag on her guitar and the back of her dad's van which shows that she's definitely a supporter.
The person who voices them Niah Davis Is also Non-binary. With the help of Zane she makes the decision to go back home with her parents. Nora on Twitter has spotted an interesting inclusion in the new NINJA GO Crystalized trailer, as it appears that the Progress Pride Flag is featured on the back of a van driven by a new character.
Family: Ray Smith (father), Maya Smith (mother), Nya Smith (little sister), Mason Smith (twin brother). An official confirmation of LGBTQ+ in Ninjago! Her parents forgive her and woo yay happy ending. Some countries have strict laws regarding gay/lesbians in the media.
They were only side characters so we don't get to see much of them after this episode but it shlws how Lego will be willing to add some gay in the show. She's a side character and doesn't play much of a role in the series after The Benefit of Grief but I feel like she's still worth mentioning.
Probably because half of the fandom are immature homophobic people but that's not gonna stop me writing a whole post about it on Tumblr that probably no one is gonna see. Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted. So heavily that the episode got banned in a few places around the world.
You can also see the bisexual flag on her guitar case, which tells us that she's bisexual! That's all that I have to say about Sally though. However after a while she starts to feel guilty about it, but I'd afraid to go back in fear that her parents won't forgive her.
The episode where we see her in the most, The Benefit of Grief, can be viewed as an allegory of coming out, which I touch more on here , but in case you're too lazy, I'll just explain how here. I've been talking about sexual orientation for some time now it's time we talk about the Non-binary characters in Ninjago.
The problem with having LGBTQ+ characters in Ninjago is that it is broadcasted internationally. Name: Kai Aaron Smith. It's a pretty good allegory. The character didn't have much of a role but it's still super cool to see. They were heavily treated like a lesbian couple in the episode.
Pronouns: He/They. They don't do much about with it after this but it's still good to have some representation, even if it's not a big part of the story. It most likely wasn't intentional but it will always be in my head because how can you write such a good allegory like that with a canon queer character as the main character and not calm it intentional?
Power: Fire. I do have my own headcanons and stuff but I'm gonna try to forget about those for the sake of this post. Now, I know those two girls from Prime Empire might also be LGBTQ+, but there was no official confirmation of it. Sally has an rainbow flag on her dad's van and on her guitar.
Tommy Andreasen said that it was up to the fans to decide so though it wasn't really confirmed it's heavily implied. An episode of Season 12 was banned in Afghanistan for having 2 girls dance with each other. You feel guilty about it but also afraid to come out out of fear that they won't accept you.
