You are correct. This is just some fan posting nonsense they read or made up.
Of course anyone who says that it's fake will be called a homophobe.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he was, but there's nothing in canon sources to point towards it.

As far as I recall, he's never shown being bi (or attracted to anyone but Usagi) in the manga. He does have his suggestive pose with Motoki, but he's evil at that point and I don't think him killing Endo and then brainwashing Motoki is good representation for bi people, lol.
And in the anime, while he's friends with Fiore as a child, I think it's pretty clear he's not romantically interested in him and the romantic love is one sided.
The only other instance I can think of is Fish Eye and again, that was a situation where it was clearly very one sided. (what a good episode, though. So emotional.)

Can this be a thread to confirm or deny whether Naoko said something or not? I think it would be a good idea.

No,there no messages or evidence for this

I cant think about many rumors about naoko, but i remember this one.

Many people believe that Naoko created the sailor moon characters cause she was so alone , so she created characters that could be her friends in real life.

I actually thought that that info was real , but i saw someone saying that it was a lie in twitter once.

So that made me a little doubtfull , does Naoko said that she created the sailor moon characters specifically because she was feeling alone , yes or no

 

[foenyanko]

Considering Naoko apparently didn't like the R Fiore plot I *highly* doubt she'd ever say that about her dreamboat.

The friend thing got declared fake, I think. She repeatedly mentions her fellow mangaka friends and hanging out w/ them in the manga margins.

She was content in school, anyway:

I enjoyed my university days like any other co-ed university girl, joining hobby clubs, going out drinking, and going to dance parties. I generally recall being busy having fun. (laugh)

That post has got 350k views and 12k likes. These are huge numbers, comparable to posts from official Sailor Moon Twitter account. And the person who made the post is some pro-Palestine blogger with less than 1k followers... How does this even work? Was it featured on CNN, or something?

I surely hope the "writing about girls I wished were my friends" thing is a hoax. Otherwise, I'm worried for Naoko's views on friendship.

I think if she did indeed say that, it's simply been blown out of proportion and what she probably would have meant was,
'I do not have time anymore to go out with my girlfriends anytime I please and I'm really sad that they keep cancelling on me. So I created the characters based on the type of people I'd like to be around me everyday.'
Aka she was now an adult with adult responsibilities and couldn't live her past frivolous life style so she experienced her fantasies through her story.

About Takeuchi's view on friendship... well the Dream and Stars arc tell us plenty.
Considering she led a privileged life, it doesn't come as a surprise that she was out of touch with real relationships.

It's fake.

Naoko had friends before SM. Most of them also privileged people.

She’s always mingled with Japan’s upper crust. All that narrative about Naoko working so hard to get her chemistry degree, her job as a pharmacist, her gruelling and exhausting work at Nakayoshi, the victimhood built around her during the creation of SM and the later cancellation of PQ Angels, her hard work as a mother, and so on... it all falls apart if you dig a little deeper. Just read her comments in the tankoubon of her stories, and you’ll see it doesn’t hold water.

Her university? Private. Her pharmacist job? Given. Meeting with Togashi? Planned by their rich mangaka friends they had in common. Sailor Moon? Orchestrated and developed by big companies, she was only part of the gear assembly.
Her stint at Kodansha is the only genuinely modest job she’s ever had in her life and she complained. So, yes...... she's a Hime-sama in real life.

Twitter algorithm, it most likely shows up on the timeline of those who rely on the "For You" tab and the unaware just like & retweets it thinking it's true.

That or someone with a big following (like one of the checkmark accounts) retweeted it and then it grew from there.

Sounds like a good drama plot - would like to see a scriptwriter writing a story for a J-drama based on that, but replacing some facts w/ equivalent ones, e.g. changing pharmacist to another medical-science-related professional like medical lab scientist, changing Sailor Moon to a fabricated shojo heroine manga, etc., for the obvious reason. I think it'd be a hit!

social media is a good place to spread fake bs rumors though a game of telephone
take what people say with a grain of salt especially on twitter xwhatever and tic tac

I find it ironic those probably are the same people who are against misinformation and hoaxes…..and yet they’re the same ones who spread misinformation/hoaxes.

This is what social media is been doing to people :/

Who or what’s a Hime-sama?

I feel some people really don’t know the difference between headcanons, theories, and canon :/

They're just a business, which prime goal is to make as much money as possible, & do w/e works (a verb) for achieving that goal as far as they're allowed to.

"Hime" means "princess," as which Takeuchi often refers herself.

Madam Princess

Indeed, they do not.
I don't mind if they have their head canons and shout it until they turn blue, I feel like it can be ignored or enjoyed either way.
Mamoru being straight, bi or gay has no real impact on my life
But when they start trying to push things as fact and gaslight others into thinking its real...with no sources of course, then I have a problem because other people will start citing this random nobody as their source and claiming others are the ones who have it wrong.

The tweet in the first post is now private and hidden. I think somebody reported us to that person.
