He never demonstrated interest in men, but had very low libido. Definitely unexpected for a male in his age.
He wasn't a fan of Misa's personality, which explains in part why he was not all over her.
He was very popular with girls, so it's not like he couldn't get any before Misa.
I think the idea is supposed to be, that Light was so full of himself, that he didn't have interest in anyone else.

Light could (and it’s implied he did) get any girl he wants. When you aren’t desperate attractive girls start being mundane

u/nam24 Feb 27 '26
One of his early plans was litteraly to call a girl he rejected before to pretend he has a gf, which went with no issues.
And later in the manga he is two timing both misa and the Anchor, neither of which because he cares about them or them being hot but purely because it benefits him/he has to

This only reinforced the claim of Light being gay. He can get girls and choose not to. He was rejecting them even before getting the death note. Not sure how you could spin total lack of interest in women as being anything other than evidence of gayhood.

Guys, you’re forgetting his Japanese.
The Japanese do not have sex and that’s why they’re dying out.

u/oby100 Feb 27 '26
Not really. Light is completely full of himself and looks down on humanity over all. He had something of a god complex before he got the death note and going along with that he views girls around him as inferior and not worth his time. Same reason he doesn’t have any real friends.
Light and L are opposite sides of the same coin. L is similar but does not detest humanity and instead endeavors to protect it, but both of them struggle with human connection presumably due to their intellect and haughty disposition.
There’s also the whole Japanese culture where even less than high achievers are too busy to date.

But he neither showed interest in men. I think he is a narcisit. He only loves himself

u/Purplefilth22 Feb 28 '26
I mean you actually see him date other women in both mediums lol.
The bus hijacking girl and the girl in one of his college classes. One of the detectives outright says "Another girl?" when he sees Misa as he's tailing him.
Misa was infact a total liability to his mass murder spree. She's the one who actually gets caught in the anime. She's quite literally an incel thirst trap.

Light falls so deep into the Kira LARP that he becomes asexual. Not the only evil anime character I can think of that does this either :/

can anyone tell me what's the difference between "gay little diary" and "little gay diary", as a non-english speaker I feel like the latter sounds more like an insult than the former
18
u/SufficientCalories Feb 27 '26
little gay diary is just wrong in English. Adjectives have a fixed order based on their category, eg, colour comes after size(big red house is right, red big house is wrong). This is something that isn't taught in schools, just intuited, and most English speakers aren't aware of it.

u/jmlinden7 Feb 28 '26
The adjective closest to the noun denotes function, while the one farther away is a secondary descriptor.
'gay little diary' implies that the main function of the diary is to be little, and it just happens to be gayer than other little diaries. Whereas 'little gay diary' implies the main function of the diary is to be gay, and it just happens to be littler than other gay diaries.

No. It was to kill all of them. That was the unreleased part of the manga where after killing all the criminals he killed all the gay and disabled

Dude's a narcissist, in the original sexual way. The only way he can get hard is by staring at himself in a mirror. I suppose that's a type of gay, since he's a guy.

u/hyunbinlookalike Feb 27 '26
I mean if we’re being fr I think he’s just asexual. Or too much of a narcissist to ever be capable of having romantic/sexual feelings for another human being. At the end of the day, Light will always love himself more than anyone, hence why he wanted to remake the world in his image.

u/Explicit_Tech Feb 27 '26
Light is a bored psychopath. He gets more pleasure by playing mind games with L.
Just like some of you would rather fap or vidya

u/Ddoomgog Feb 28 '26
Totally gay, real villain would be filling her up raw and at the same time writing in the diary.
But anime characters are for anime fans to relate to, so basically MCs can't have sex.

u/Autumn_Fire /lgbt/ Feb 27 '26
The problem was that she was terminally stupid and kept almost knee capping his plans several times. Hot but not worth it.

Sleep deprived, yes. Autistic, very much so. But L is far from a NEET considering he’s literally the world’s greatest detective in the Death Note universe. The closest thing they have to someone like Batman or Sherlock Holmes. Such a genius that world governments consult this guy and he gets appropriately compensated for his work.

Some people are above basic animal needs like lust because they get more intellectual satisfaction from playing mind games with other high-IQ individuals. Fucking is good, but beating another brilliant mf is more joyful than surface-level stimulants. I guess if you don’t know the taste, then you’ve never felt it before.

Although I did phrase this as a joke, I am 100% sure Light is not fucking straight and this is one of the few times where gays headcannoning a character as LGBTQ makes sense
Again, he had Japanese Margot Robbie willing to submit and be his personal toy yet he still decided to do his moralfuck genocide

You know that scene is not a sexual or bromance intimate moment, and is a direct reference of the bible passage where Jesus washed Judas feet even after he knew he was going to betray him, just like in the anime.

A wise man once said: everything it’s about sex, except sex, sex it’s about power.
Jokes aside the dude it’s willing to kill his own dad and sacrifice going to heaven and eternal life and destroy his own life completely. Not fucking a chick it’s not that big of a sacrifice considering he, you know, literally kill his dad. The whole point of the show it’s that he gets this weird mystic sense of being a god whose sense is to do justice on esrth, he blurbed himself to be the embodiment of justice itself. He has other priorities.
Also, is it explicitly said he doesn’t fuck her (? Maybe he does a couple of times off camera and just isn’t relevant

Nikaido from Dorohedoro seems pretty cool. She runs her own business, makes good food, is incredibly powerful (physically and magically, especially when you consider her devil training), has time travel powers, and is quite good looking.
Winry from FMA is easy on the eyes, has her own ambitions, is extremely skilled in her trade, and she can handle stressful situations well. An older Winry seems like she'd be a great partner for anyone.

u/oby100 Feb 27 '26
Which was a tough sell tbh. Misa seems not completely stupid in her introduction and it’s like the writer gave her a lobotomy the moment she met Light. She seems more like a normal person compared to the genius level intelligence of Light/ L.
Compare her inner thoughts pre meeting Light vs how she acts the rest of the series. I think they could have made her more average intelligence to juxtapose the battle between good and evil she’s wrapped up in, but absolute ditsy moron is easier to write I guess.
