Yeah. And I think it's super-important for folks to realize even if Ishida's portrayals aren't judged as positive from a Western view, I don't think there's any negative intention on his part. I've heard that in the Japanese fandom, there's speculation/rumors about Ishida being LGBT, because even his level of including stuff is apparently unusual for Seinen series? (Not sure how accurate, Japanese literate fans have discussed this before.)
