== Articles about anime and Wiki Loves Pride Project ==

Lately I've noticed that some anime articles with subtle or even non-existent LGBTQ themes have been added to the "Wiki loves pride" category as being created or improved by a project of the same name. When I looked at the project page itself, it turned out that it was aimed at improving LGBTQ+ articles. This confused me a bit, as it suggests that the added pages are dedicated to queer anime or have significant queer content, when in fact they are only about potential queer reading by journalists/fans, or even just have brief oblique mention about it, as in the case of the Anne Shirley remake, whose addition to the category was explained by the addition of a review where the author in one sentence called the friendship of two straight girls "an almost romantic friendship" in reference to Victorian tropes/the original book's oblique connection to Class S (given the description of the project, out of context this template can easily convince you that this is an LGBTQ article). So even the user developing the articles within the project was aware of the absence of any (objective) queer content in them, but added them to the project only based on an indirect mention in reviews. What do you think about this? Honestly, I can understand their logic a little, but I am confused by the project's lack of explicit admission of such an indirect connection and I can't help but think that in some cases it may mislead people about the subject of the article (not to mention that potential of this is endless, just think about the amount of all-female and all-male anime with fan shipping or theories).
