Why do people assume Beerus and Whis are a couple ?

[BitchIlooklikeGoku]

I'm hearing from fans that Beerus and Whis may have in fact fell in love while being student/teacher and are a couple.



Do you think this is true ?

[Nejishiki]

I haven't seen any evidence supporting they are in a relationship nor do I find anything within their interactions suggesting they're romantically involved. Some people just love to ship.

[dbzfan7]

People ship literally everything. Hetero, Homo, Transgender, Trans-Species, Elderly, Children, Toddlers, you name it, it exists. People are weird.

[precita]

People are stupid and think any feminine looking boy is gay, that's why. Its almost like subtle homophobia.

According to them Whis HAS to be gay just because he has feminine features. Talk about a stereotype.

I agree that it's a dumb generalization, but I don't think that it necessarily constitutes homophobia, subtle or otherwise.

They seem like a married couple to me

[Darkprince410]

They come off more like how a pet (more specifically a cat) and its owner would act if the cat was able to talk, or as I've said before, the spoiled child of a rich family and the nanny hired to take care of them. Their bickering isn't anything like that of a married couple, but what you'd expect from a brat who gets what he wants most all the time, and the nanny needing to put up with his nonsense out of obligation to.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Regardless of Whis' sexuality, he doesn't seem to be in any kind of relationship with anyone (that we know of...)

[Cipher]

Beerus and Whis are probably the least gay close male companions in Dragon Ball.

I wonder if Beerus has a cat ding-dong or a normal human one >____>

Yes it does. Whis looks feminine so people automatically assume he must be gay. Had Whis looked any different, nobody would have said such a thing.

For example Supreme Kaioshin and Kibito were both introduced as a pair similar to Beerus/Whis, but nobody says anything about Kibito being "gay" for the Kai because he doesn't have a feminine design.

[Lord Beerus]

Beerus and Whis' relationship kinda reminds of a well trained and experienced bodyguard looking after, and sometimes also scolding, a powerful, spoiled rich kid. Pretty much like John Diggle and Oliver Queen' relationship from Arrow.

Can't wait for that to become a thread

Why wait when you can create ?

I don't see how. All you've done is further explain why it's a stupid generalization, not why it's necessarily homophobic. Then again, words like that don't seem to have a stable/uniform definition that everyone uses (at least, much less of one than most words).

[Pantalones]

I don't think I've ever seen any speculation that Beerus and Whis might be a couple before this thread...

That said, I haven't exactly been going out looking for it... but not stumbling across the idea purely by accident says to me that it's not that common.

Ask Lord Beerus himself... hell he's in this very thread as we type.

Hope you're not uncomfortable about us talking about your junkmail, Beerus-sama.

[Chuquita]

I haven't seen any speculation about them. I've seen people ship them, but I haven't seen anyone theorizing on if it's a stealth-canon ship or not. It's possible it's happening in places I just haven't seen. (Also Beerus is asleep for decades at a time; that would make Whis one of the most patient people in the entire cast if true.)

What would you call it? WhiBee? BeeWhi? Depends I guess.

Only if you PM me.

I can see why people might think they're a couple - they definitely have an 'old married couple' vibe going on with their interactions, it honestly has far more shades of that than it does 'master and student', which is part of what makes them such great comedic foil for each other - but I dunno that I'd ever actually say for certain that they're a couple or not, without actual confirmation which, let's face it, is not gonna be coming any time soon. Or likely ever. And as has already been said, Whis' mannerisms are absolutely not a clear indicator for sure that a character is gay. The only indicator of that is...well, actually being a gay person/character.

So basically, I don't really think they're a couple, but I can definitely see where the jokes come from. I'd argue there's more there to analyze than there is the 'classic' Tenshinan/Chiaotzu relationship.
