How Sailor Moon Fandom Became a Refuge for 90s Queer Kids
Japanese cartoon Sailor Moon not only brought anime to the American mainstream in the early 90s, but it also inspired a cult following amongst people who identified with and appreciated the cartoon s progressive portrayal of LGBT characters. On this episode of American Obsessions, VICE dives into the inclusive world of Sailor Moon fandom. We meet up with a few diehard Moonies at the Los Angeles Anime Expo and New York s International Sailor Moon Day celebration to find out how these animated characters helped to create a sense of community and shape queer identities.
