Is wei wuxian gay

Wei Wuxian is a gay character from Mo Dao Zu Shi. Wei Wuxian was born to travelling cultivators Cangse-sanren and Wei Changze. When they both perished in a night-hunt, a young Wei Ying was left to fend for himself for years before being found by sect leader Jiang Fengmian, who took Wei Wuxian to. Is Wei Wuxian bisexual? Yes. We spend the novel in his head and he shows equal amount of attraction to men and women, even if it takes him some time to consciously acknowledge the later.

Being in exclusive, committed relationship with LZ, a man, doesn't make him less attracted to women. Wei Wuxian’s self-proclaimed soulmate, Lan Wangji, is just as complicated, stuck between obeying his clan and protecting the man he loves. Although the characters never become physically intimate on screen, it is clear they love each other. The quality of the LGBTQ representation rivals western media.

Throughout the series, various techniques of Chinese storytelling and allusions to romantic Chinese culture are deployed to depict the less than purely platonic relationship between Wei Wuxian. 魏无羡 (Wèi wú xiàn) aka 魏婴 (Wèi yīng) is one of the (gay) main characters in Mo Dao Zu Shi (魔道祖师), a danmei book written by MXTX (墨香铜臭). He is the husband of Lan wangji (蓝忘机). Wei wuxian likes to drink emperor's smile (天子笑) and he also likes to watch his husband drink emperor's smile and get drunk.

He is an extremely popular character in fandom and, with Lan Wangji , represents half of the juggernaut canon ship.

Some fans headcanon Wei Wuxian to be bisexual , due to both his canonical romantic interest in Lan Wangji, as well as his tendency to otherwise flirt with women, especially when he was a teenager. Wei Wuxian is also very close to Wen Qing , another female character, who fans may also ship with him. Many fans tend to take these interpretations to state that Wei Wuxian is canonically bisexual, though no word specifically deigning his sexuality is ever used in any Chinese or translated text.

Regardless, the dedication to this headcanon has led to quite a bit of wank within the Wangxian fandom. Many fans with this headcanon have accused other fans who call Wei Wuxian "gay" as erasing his bisexuality. Other fans are also not fond of the trope of Wei Wuxian battling his internalized homophobia sometimes known as "Straight Boy Wei Ying" being represented in fanwork though it does occur in canon , accusing the trope of also erasing his bisexuality.

Despite this, bisexual Wei Wuxian is widely represented in fanworks. In canon Wei Wuxian is the orphaned child of Jiang Fengmian's friend and servant, and Jiang Fengmian takes him into the sect and makes him the first disciple. Due to Jiang Fengmian's suspiciously favorable treatment of Wei Wuxian, it is widely believed that Wei Wuxian is his secret love child.

However, Wei Wuxian is never officially acknowledged as Jiang Fengmian's biological son, nor is he ever formally adopted into the Jiang family. Wei Wuxian refers to the Jiang siblings, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli , using standard wuxia terminology: younger martial brother shidi and older martial sister shijie. This is especially true in modern AUs and other non-wuxia AU settings. Navigation menu Personal tools Create account Log in.
