Pic related Baron Zeppeli is absolutely a dandy boy.

So I started it with Phantom Blood (rip Danny you were too good for this world lil' pupo) and the entire thing just feels so blatantly queer coded. From the vogue poses MID FIGHT to the insanely buff Johnathan Joestar wrastlin' with the insanely buff Dio Brando. And THE FASHION, it takes place in the late 1800's and yet Jojo is rocking some fabulous outfits.

I love it so far btw it's fantastic and I'm looking forward to Stardust Crusaders and Golden Wind which I know are fan favorites.

he could be bi

true, but I try not to speculate

same, but i don't really see a difference in speculating straight vs bi. like if saying someone is bi is speculating but saying someone is straight isn't that seems heteronormative to me

In this case we have confirmation that Araki is at least straight, as a base case. Any suggestion of a little zest on top of that is speculation. It would work the same way if Araki was a gay woman, married to a woman, and drawing brolic men. We know Araki would be gay in this case, and we could only speculate about bisexuality.
