==JoJo and /tg/==

JoJo is one of three anime/manga that /tg/ will openly admit they like, the other two being [[Berserk]] and [[Fist of the North Star]]. Hell, the early art style of JoJo is heavily inspired by FotNS, even Jonathan's outfit being very similar to Kenshiro's. Like the two aforementioned manga, JoJo is considered to be an extremely manly series, with a predominantly male cast and the protagonists usually kicking ass to get to their objective without much thinking (edit: this is false, Jojo protagonists win fights by creating strategies that could blow up a Zoanthropes' brain from how ridiculously convoluted the strategy is but the sheer ridiculousness of the strategies is apart of the reason why Jojo is so silly). However, at the same time it is flamboyantly gay, with many male characters being shirtless or wearing revealing clothing and striking strange/fabulous poses, making its relationship with /tg/ somewhat confusing and [[skub|conflicted]] considering that /tg/ usually shies away from most stuff that is homosexual. It has however, also been described as "flamboyant masculinity", as none of the characters are actually gay despite outward appearances. One could say it's because it's like a breath of fresh air how silly it is, or the end goal of each arc is ultimately pretty simple; protagonist has to beat the shit out of and/or kill the big bad, end of story. The tone of any arc can change in an instant, becoming dumb and happy to dire and [[grimdark]] within a couple chapters. It's also because the action is often too awesome that fa/tg/uys turn a blind eye to the gay stuff.  Or we just love it that way, since that's mostly what made JoJo popular in the first place. Plus Araki puts ''scads'' of references to classic rock and metal into Jojo, so that helps too. Also, the art is honestly very good, especially in the latest tomes.

We've had several Quest threads on /tg/ that relate to JoJo, the most popular being the multi-part [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=JoJo%20Guardsman%20Quest Guardsman's Bizarre Adventure]. We also have Super Stand Sunday, when /tg/ comes together and makes their own Stand every (you guessed it) Sunday.

The /tg/ interpretation of the [[Eversor]] Assassin is pretty much Dio Brando, down to him striking his trademark pose and crying "WRYYYY" before proceeding to cut up whatever enemy is in his way. Probably the most popular /tg/-JoJo relation, however, comes in the form of the YouTuber Bruva Alfabusa's "[[If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device]]" series, where he makes several references to JoJo throughout the series. The most popular reference is definitely the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9w_uoUHgiE Pillarstodes]; Adeptus Custodes based on the Pillar Men from Battle Tendency. This actually isn't that far off the mark, since there is in fact official (albeit old) art of shirtless Custodes. Still, the Pillarstodes are quite flamboyant and hedonistic, but nonetheless they're also kickass.

Of course, there's also a RPG based off of JoJo, [https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/tg/image/1444/25/1444251939283.pdf here.]

It wouldn't be surprising if Hirohiko Araki himself was a fa/tg/uy himself. He's mentioned in some lectures and interviews that he decided to create an RPG/board game-style system for JoJo where characters travel to different places to fight enemies, as seen in Stardust Crusaders onward.
