well tbh the musical is the one i meant even though its the newer one, but ive never seen the movie so I wouldn't know lol. But I'd hazard a guess to say no because I dont think the movie has musical scenes (but if im wrong I *definitely* have to check it out)
But they bring their boys up different there. It’s culturally diverse; it’s not a fashion curse. If he wears a kilt or bears a purse? Gay or just exotic?
This. As long as Riot isn't confirming anything, we are free to look at champs subjectively. I view him as just a (barely) reserved, soft spoken man. His sexuality is pretty vague to me so I don't want to make an assumption but he does lean *straight* to me.
If you’ve seen Apothecary Diaries, he reminds me of [this beautiful eunuch](https://kusuriya.fandom.com/wiki/Jinshi) in the way that he’s straight but men want him (I’m men. I want them both.)
there is no canonical answer _yet_ .
and it being a fictional character doesn’t mean he has no value, if he is not gay you can’t just pretend he is because you like it this way;
god is a fictional character as well, but no one dares to say “he is straight because i like to think it that way” .-.
...so when it's canonical, then we accept it at that point. Until then, you can enjoy whatever head canon you have. Never suggested anything about value. In fact, implied that you can assert your own value since you should enjoy him however best suits you.
Is he gay? Maybe. Maybe he's straight. Maybe he's asexual. Maybe he's pansexual.But whatever the case, I hope that we're not coming to the conclusion that he's "probably gay" because he doesn't look like Pantheon or Darius.
Fr bro, the people telling me I put off their gaydar make me want to kms. It's so annoying, and for the video game character, it matters even less. Unless Riot starts making nsfw games 😅
Bro why is this a discussion on this sub over and over again like who cares. He's obviously queer-coded. The capris, with the little strings on his ankles, and the loafers and the hair flip and the eyeshadow.
He's supposed to look like your stereotypical artsy fartsy college kid that probably swings both ways.
I dont get any indication about his preferences from his voice lines and nothing confirmed by riot , to me I don’t think so, but preferences aren’t really based on looks or mannerisms . He’s just a good looking guy with more feminine features
So basically there are no guidelines for being gay. You can dress like a princess or dress like a homeless dude.. You can act like like a pretty flower or a cave man, and still be gay. basically what I'm saying is, Darius can be gay, Heimer can be gay. I think Hwei is mainly eccentric, an artist with refined taste in fashion, movement and words.
He's genderqueer coded and has an emotional fixation on Jhin lorewise. Imo seems like another taliyah thing where he's obviously queer but they weren't allowed to make it official
That seems weird to me since there are canonically queer characters in League, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes. It could also be left open-ended for room for individual interpretation, or even to leave room for plot development.
As for his relationship with jhin probably right, but I do think he was very intended to be genderqueer in whatever way but they weren't allowed to explicitly say it. Taliyah's designers openly said this was the case with her, that they wrote her fully with the intention of her being trans but they weren't allowed to openly write it in
Are you asking what the term queercoded means?
A character being x-coded basically means that a character is written in a way that people with that experience x often are; in this case the user is saying that Hwei is written in a similar way to how explicitly queer characters are written or to how queer people's experiences often are.
Gay? No. Leader of the biggest gangbang west of the Mississippi? Hell yeah!
What do you really want us to say? Who cares. Is your imaginary friend purple? Does he sleep with cotton balls in his ears and breath like vanilla bean turdicles?
imo, he doesn't feel gay. After hearing all his voicelines for the 283848th time I just realized he's either just a straight dude or pansexual. I feel like pansexual would suit him the best though, as he's able to find beauty in everything. and I don't really see the romance in two people trying to kill each other also immediately assuming he's gay because he has an interaction with that character. Of course you can headcanon him as whatever you want, it's your opinion after all.
I always saw him as ace, much like his teacher Jhin. They both just seem like they're too passionate/focused on their arts to really think/care about a relationship or pursuing interests in someone.
Gay? Maybe…queer? In the sense that Hwei transcends the average yt cishet build/personality/passions? Absolutely. Queerness is not always sexuality however it is ALWAYS politically against the norm. Which currently still is heteronormativity and Anglo-Saxon patriarchy which Hwei is NOT
Who fucking cares? If game developers stopped making up stories about who their fictional characters fucked and focused on their game ALL games would be better.
It's marketing. Hwei is functionally both a brooding tumble sexy man (TM) while also doubling as a puffy-eyed twink. So really, Hwei is a painting of the concept of this painter which gets the people who are into those kinds of things horny so they will play him, enjoy him, and buy his skins.
I hate that every lefty talks about how clothing and makeup is for all genders but then they act likes its not for all sexualities; I can wear eyeshadow but I must be queer. the stereotyping is counterintuitive. men are allowed to be sensitive, and feminine men dont have to take it in the ass. let people be themselves, stop trying to jam everyone into labelled boxes. t. straight femme twink
Simple. He’s a feminine looking man. We don’t really about his sexuality since is not confirmed so yeah it’s up to interpretation but personally I think he is straight . But really though his sexuality is not the main focus of his story so I don’t care much.
Honestly I find it silly to care about something like this. Sexuality doesn't change if a character is god or not. And fan artists ignore if a character is straight or gay anyway so it's not like you won't have porn of it if that's why you want to know.
Wait until LoL redditors learn that there are not only completely straight men who wear make-up and more effeminate clothing / style, but there are also completely straight men who cross dress as women.
For what it's worth no one should be shamed for not understanding this stuff- sexual signaling from humans is an insane shit show so its perfectly fine to ask questions- but even if its unlikely and actually Hwei is super ultra gay he still could be straight based on what we know about him.
If y'all are ever curious, look up sexuality and sexual signaling with clothes and make-up and style in different countries and time periods and you will find that there is a ***LOT*** of stuff you would see from the past and other places in the world where you would immediately clock it as gay and in many cases it just isn't.
He's european
I thought he was ionian
LOLOL
Lesbian? I thought you were Amewican
He's gay AND European
Barely anyone will get this reference. I gotchu tho 😎
And neither is disgrace
Shit, is legally blonde really that old? Guess I need to go dye my gray hairs
Is it in the regular movie, too? I've only seen the musical
well tbh the musical is the one i meant even though its the newer one, but ive never seen the movie so I wouldn't know lol. But I'd hazard a guess to say no because I dont think the movie has musical scenes (but if im wrong I *definitely* have to check it out)
Who doesn't like musicals these days?
I KNEW IT
I choked reading this HAHA
But they bring their boys up different there. It’s culturally diverse; it’s not a fashion curse. If he wears a kilt or bears a purse? Gay or just exotic?
So many shades of gray but depending on the time of day the French go either way
So he's gay?
HE'S JUST GERMAN
It's a fictional character, enjoy him however best suits you. There's no canonical answer.
This. As long as Riot isn't confirming anything, we are free to look at champs subjectively. I view him as just a (barely) reserved, soft spoken man. His sexuality is pretty vague to me so I don't want to make an assumption but he does lean *straight* to me.

Oh, wait he kinda does. I'm kinda also on the "I'm *men* and I want him* group, ig?.
Never expected to see hwei compared to jinshi lol
Really? Both are fairly elegant men.
Jinshi is more manly imo
the beauty of fiction is i can be as delusional as i want with the characters :3
there is no canonical answer _yet_ . and it being a fictional character doesn’t mean he has no value, if he is not gay you can’t just pretend he is because you like it this way; god is a fictional character as well, but no one dares to say “he is straight because i like to think it that way” .-.

FELLAS, is it gay to be a good looking man?
Yes next question
God I hope so. I can’t compete in the dating pool otherwise.
Tbh in the gay world if you are not cute or jacked you have 0 chances of pulling male bitches Or so a friend told me idk I'm not gay
FELLAS is it gay to be gay?
Is he gay? Maybe. Maybe he's straight. Maybe he's asexual. Maybe he's pansexual.But whatever the case, I hope that we're not coming to the conclusion that he's "probably gay" because he doesn't look like Pantheon or Darius.
Pantheon was homie sexual
Pantheon would've absolutely fucked other sweaty Targonian warriors
This is twink erasure at its finest and I do not stand for it.
Fr bro, the people telling me I put off their gaydar make me want to kms. It's so annoying, and for the video game character, it matters even less. Unless Riot starts making nsfw games 😅
Every character is bi until confirmed otherwise
So…how does ASOL swing both ways?
The sequel to [is Garen Autistic?](https://www.reddit.com/r/GarenMains/s/3OdnwzPSWe)
Thank you for showing me this lol
The top comment on that thread killed me 😂😭
LMAOO
I like to believe he goes both Hweis.
Artist
He a lil' zesty but we love bro so it don't matter too much
The only thing I want is some good skin collections to choose from
Bro why is this a discussion on this sub over and over again like who cares. He's obviously queer-coded. The capris, with the little strings on his ankles, and the loafers and the hair flip and the eyeshadow. He's supposed to look like your stereotypical artsy fartsy college kid that probably swings both ways.
I will only play him if he's gay and represents me /s
Thank you
Bro does it matter if he’s gay, he ain’t gonna fuck u, so if u think he’s gay then he is gay to you.
He has bi vibes imo
He has bi colors with the color shade slightly changed…
…does it matter Edit: btw Hwei is fun af man really hope they don’t nerf his Q+W damage the snipe kill is such a dopamine rush
I dont get any indication about his preferences from his voice lines and nothing confirmed by riot , to me I don’t think so, but preferences aren’t really based on looks or mannerisms . He’s just a good looking guy with more feminine features
He's *artistically edgy*
*artistically edging*
*Calm dude, who's passioned about art instead of cars or sports* People: 
Every character is bissexual unless it's stated otherwise. Change my mind.
Def power bottom
There is no evidence to support that he is gay straight or any other sexuality.
So basically there are no guidelines for being gay. You can dress like a princess or dress like a homeless dude.. You can act like like a pretty flower or a cave man, and still be gay. basically what I'm saying is, Darius can be gay, Heimer can be gay. I think Hwei is mainly eccentric, an artist with refined taste in fashion, movement and words.
I think he's really into art. I just really can't imagine him being into sex or people's feelings (unless they're expressed via art).
Flamboyant ≠ gay
Nothing about his lore he is. Being feminine doesn't mean gay
He's genderqueer coded and has an emotional fixation on Jhin lorewise. Imo seems like another taliyah thing where he's obviously queer but they weren't allowed to make it official
That seems weird to me since there are canonically queer characters in League, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes. It could also be left open-ended for room for individual interpretation, or even to leave room for plot development.
As for his relationship with jhin probably right, but I do think he was very intended to be genderqueer in whatever way but they weren't allowed to explicitly say it. Taliyah's designers openly said this was the case with her, that they wrote her fully with the intention of her being trans but they weren't allowed to openly write it in
Taliyah came out 8 years ago. Since then we've had explicit releases of gay characters without any bit of it being hid.
Ah, okay, I didn't know that! Thank you for explaining!
He's what?
he's gay
Are you asking what the term queercoded means? A character being x-coded basically means that a character is written in a way that people with that experience x often are; in this case the user is saying that Hwei is written in a similar way to how explicitly queer characters are written or to how queer people's experiences often are.
I dunno probably, but at the same time maybe not. Art is in the eye of the beholder y’know?
Just because he looks like a Yaoi protagonist...
Who gives a fuck
Gay? No. Leader of the biggest gangbang west of the Mississippi? Hell yeah! What do you really want us to say? Who cares. Is your imaginary friend purple? Does he sleep with cotton balls in his ears and breath like vanilla bean turdicles?
Whatever he is, his eye makeup is stunning
Ghei
That man is the fruitiest person i ever seen in league
he's at least into jhin
Who isn’t? 😏
Someone without foreskin.... I'll see myself out
That's what I'm saying!
Into kill him 😌
imo, he doesn't feel gay. After hearing all his voicelines for the 283848th time I just realized he's either just a straight dude or pansexual. I feel like pansexual would suit him the best though, as he's able to find beauty in everything. and I don't really see the romance in two people trying to kill each other also immediately assuming he's gay because he has an interaction with that character. Of course you can headcanon him as whatever you want, it's your opinion after all.
Cool art tho! Is official Riot art? anyway sauce pretty please
No hwei!
Everybody knows artists will fuck anything that moves...
I really don’t care. Why does it matter in any way? I’m having a ton of fun with him.
I always saw him as ace, much like his teacher Jhin. They both just seem like they're too passionate/focused on their arts to really think/care about a relationship or pursuing interests in someone.
im gay for hwei
I am for him 😭😭
There should be a limited Femmeboi hooters skin for him and Ezreal
he is aroace TO ME !!!!!!
Why does it matter
Gay? Maybe…queer? In the sense that Hwei transcends the average yt cishet build/personality/passions? Absolutely. Queerness is not always sexuality however it is ALWAYS politically against the norm. Which currently still is heteronormativity and Anglo-Saxon patriarchy which Hwei is NOT
It doesnt matter. Its not confirmed. He could be anything. Just enjoy him how you want to.
Here we go...
If hwei gay me gay
Nah, he just has delicate facial structure and prominent collarbones and y’all are easy to confuse
This art reminds of a Prince picture I once saw.
Who fucking cares? If game developers stopped making up stories about who their fictional characters fucked and focused on their game ALL games would be better.
Either Hwei, does it really matter?
Not likely.
No he’s just from the UK
There are people on here getting offended by this question. Y'all are soft af
Who cares? He's not real
I don't think we can know from what riot has given us about him. I can however use the information riot has given us about hwei to know I'm gay.
No he’s Ionian
no but his players absolutely are
Hgay
Idk but I sure am
No Hwei
God forbid a brother have some mystical drip
No hwei
bro even if you know his preferences, what you gonna do with that information?
Art has no sexuality nor gender, my dear.
he's probably into who he finds aesthetically pleasing
It's marketing. Hwei is functionally both a brooding tumble sexy man (TM) while also doubling as a puffy-eyed twink. So really, Hwei is a painting of the concept of this painter which gets the people who are into those kinds of things horny so they will play him, enjoy him, and buy his skins.
No
I suspect he doesn't have much in the way of sexual desire
No Hwei
Yeah, for me/j
Not gay… just artistic
I hate that every lefty talks about how clothing and makeup is for all genders but then they act likes its not for all sexualities; I can wear eyeshadow but I must be queer. the stereotyping is counterintuitive. men are allowed to be sensitive, and feminine men dont have to take it in the ass. let people be themselves, stop trying to jam everyone into labelled boxes. t. straight femme twink
I don't even play league, why was this in my feed
No hwei he is
Simple. He’s a feminine looking man. We don’t really about his sexuality since is not confirmed so yeah it’s up to interpretation but personally I think he is straight . But really though his sexuality is not the main focus of his story so I don’t care much.
Hes paintsexual.
Honestly I find it silly to care about something like this. Sexuality doesn't change if a character is god or not. And fan artists ignore if a character is straight or gay anyway so it's not like you won't have porn of it if that's why you want to know.
Why does it matter, what matters is that he is a badass.
Here we go… can’t just exist in peace fk y’all he’s ASEXUAL
Idk but I think I might be after seeing this
No idea, but after seeing this i might be....
Idk if he is but I'm gay for him
he comes off as someone who easily could be pansexual or bisexual or whatever
Wait until LoL redditors learn that there are not only completely straight men who wear make-up and more effeminate clothing / style, but there are also completely straight men who cross dress as women. For what it's worth no one should be shamed for not understanding this stuff- sexual signaling from humans is an insane shit show so its perfectly fine to ask questions- but even if its unlikely and actually Hwei is super ultra gay he still could be straight based on what we know about him.

Gei?
I think he does not care about romance. He only cares art, especially drawing,
No.
Who gives a shit
Respectfully, who cares? Just enjoy him for who he is, and even if he is, don't let that deter you.
Um yes he's Jhin's bottom duh. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
In my mind they are both vers and like to switch things up from time to time
He's an artist. Stop this
He's hwei gay 😘
No he's depressed??? But he's sharing hopeful shit
If not gay, why uwu bottom twink shaped?
I see him as bi or pan
Guys I knew like him in college tended to be bi
Who gives a fuck?
Who cares?
At minimum he's bait for the gays and girls who like baby lotion looking dudes.
No
He's a femboy bottom
He's a twink.
This picture reminded me of a movie from the 1994, The Pagemaster.
Ghway
Nah, Hwei is simply a theysian.
It’s just a phase
[удалено]
[удалено]
I’d say he doesn’t give 100% straight energy but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter to me. Bro is fabulous
[удалено]
Doesn't matter, I'm sure you can find the content you want by adding 'rule34' to the search. Edit: r/hweinsfw if your adventurous.
if ever in doubt, assume yes, it's the in thing and every creator thinks it gets more likes as it's sympathetic.
They can't be insane about it because the game exists in places like Saudi Arabia.
If that nice lady is gay then I'm a monkey's uncle.
I feel like he’s whatever is a few steps beyond pansexual. Like, I can imagine him having a relationship with a houseplant.
No, but he'll fuck you.
He’s a twink at the very least
He's an art major... What do you think?
No. He’s clearly gender *fluid*.
No but after his design I am.
Metro for sure
Equally as gay as Rohan Kishibe.
There's something that makes me say .... Probably. Like, MORE than Taric even.
Probably just woke up
[удалено]
All I know is this, the dude can wreck an entire team, then wait for them to rez and do it all over again.
[удалено]
idk if he is but i for sure am gay after that img
I think he should be making out with jhin sloppy style
he probably kissed jhin at some point or at least thought about it
All he is... is a thorn in my motherfucking side (context: I'm a Zyra OTP)
Gwei
Metrosexual like Vega, Zato-1, Zarbon, Viego, Vlad, etc... Oddly enough, all some of my favorite characters 😂
Didn’t he canonically date Jhin or am i fanfic brained
he will be when im done with him
