Were you ever into something, but learned that it was something that only girls did, or maybe just mostly girls were into? Well I know I had that problem when I watched anime at a young age and wanted to straighten my hair so I could look more like them. Me being black and a boy, that shit didn’t slide in the hoods XD. My mom was against it at first, but once I was in high school and a less ghetto area, I was able to give it a try. Which, I got called gay XD but I was hell of alot more happy doing something I wanted to, instead of being afraid to do it cause of gender standards. That’s what our main character Jumpei in Dance Dance Danseur is struggling with.

Jumpei saw ballet at a young age, and wanted to pick it up. But once he got into it, he learned from his dad and his male classmates that ballet was something for girls, and not for boys. It sucks for him, but that’s life. We label things as for boys and girls, which can easily make things hard to enjoy if you’re afraid of judgment. Luckily, as time has passed, we’ve slowly grown out of that, like how skinny jeans and dying your hair was a girl thing to do, but now you see every guy and male YouTuber doing it.

I dare you to say that this man with the lion tattoo is a bitch for doing ballet.

This is another show I’m enjoying after just one episode. I don’t think I’ll love it as much as the Spy x Family, and I don’t think it’s going to be trending on Twitter like Spy x Family. But it’s def a show that if you’re interested in drama, dancing, and guys doing girly things, you should pick it up.

Have you ever done anything that was considered girly? Are you afraid of getting judged for the things you like? Have you watched Dance Dance Danseur? Tell us in the comments.
