Why is pretty cure used as THE anime for otakus in gay manga? I'm not saying its bad but curious on the picks of why.
Is it common in gay manga? I've seen it a lot in normal manga myself. But I guess it's because it's the most popular magical girl franchise in Japan, it makes the big bucks.

I think because I've seen it more than a handful of times in BL where the main otaku character often says his childhood fave or current is pretty cure. A main and primary GL one being this manga which is all about it.

https://hornet.com/stories/pretty-cure-precure-boys-dresses/ and a canon crossdresser? (apparently it's an ice skater, idk if it's an intentional yuri on ice reference lol) but i guess precure appeals to otaku in general/some long running magical girl series that'd still be recognizable by name b/c it's gone on for so long, like doctor who or so

I totally forgot about him!! It was during the height of Yuri!! on ice. That might make sense why choosing it
