I don't want to sound too activist, but... I found funny people feeling uncomfortable about Timmy's qu-ee-rness* in a performance that we barely can see him, unless you really pay attention to the background.

Speaking for myself, I had some issues with Ayu's over-the-top q-u-ee-r* performances (like the carnival section of Tour of Secret or Bold & Delicious at AT06) back then and seeing these performances nowadays I understand my discomfort with that was related to looks and "qu-ee-rness*" of everything. Now I'm in good terms with that (and with myself).

*I didn't know these words are offensive in English, I see a lot of people talking about qu-ee-r culture and qu-ee-r studies at academy. Sorry if it's offensive.
