No. I said that it might be more accurate to say that people with that bodybuilder type body are stereotyped as being gay, rather than that gay people are stereotyped as being strong. Most overtly gay characters I've seen have been portrayed as thin and frail.

Come to think of it, anime still continues to use gayness as the butt of jokes, yet no one seems to get worked up about it. My Hero Academia comes to mind. Maybe we're more willing to tolerate it because anime comes from another culture that is slow to change? Or is it just that their use of the characters isn't malicious enough to make people object to it?
My Hero Academia’s existence is offensive enough. Questionable portrayal of oppressed minorities is the least of it’s worries.
What's wrong with it?

I couldn’t go through half an episode without wanting to rip my ears off and gouge out my eyes.

If it bothers you so much then don't watch it.

Damn why didn’t I think of that?

Odd hearing that from a Dragon Ball fan...

I only read the manga so I wouldn't know. But I love the soundtrack for the anime.
