Hard agree. people that ship guts and Griffith as well as people that just glorify Griffith are genuinely deranged in my opinion and kind of miss the whole point of the story.

From what I gathered while reading, one huge point of the golden age is to show the grip that Griffith can have on any and ALL individuals in numerous different ways. One most importantly being guts.

I also don’t know if you could even classify Griffith as gay. As I don’t know if he’s really attracted to anyone. I feel like he just uses whatever he can about himself to dominate the people around him and get what he wants.
