Im curious. and how many know that Gwyn is a boy? I've never seen much ships outside of Valt and Shu, as well as Free I think.
The anime literally has Drum becoming infused with rainbow power to try and make Gwyn smile. Whether or nor that symbolism is intentional, one cannot argue it is there, lmao.
The main reason 90% of Beyblade anime ships are gay is just because there's a lack of women in general, especially ones that have any meaningful connections to any of the boy characters. Like, the majority women in this show are either the main character's parents or siblings, and usually the few ones who aren't like that are so minor or disconnected from the other characters that nobody cares. Meanwhile from an MLM perspective you have a wealth of interesting character dynamics and connections to choose from. So yeah, in the case of Beyblade it's not that people who make ship content want it to be gay, and more like it more or less has to be based on the existing cast.
Even if that was not the case and there were a lot of women you could ship with, there's nothing wrong with preferring the gay ships (unless you're a fujioshi, in which case you are a war criminal), and of course there is nothing wrong with being LGBT+. Beyblade is for everyone, after all.
