This was a fun and thought-provoking time! As opposed to Wonder's experience, which was decidedly... mixed. In a funny way, I do appreciate just how short and "unfulfilling" this entry is - it manages to accurately portray a very real type of unglamorous "queer experience" - sometimes you go out of your comfort zone, try something new that you've heard should be good, but you're not really sure of, and it just kinda... sucks.
It's not Wonder's fault, it's not Mirth's fault, and though the Tanuki's an asshole I don't think that Wonder would have enjoyed his experience more had he not intervened - sometimes, the idea of finding one's local queer community is presented as a sort of 'panacea' for all of one's ails. It's a form of modern day folklore, really - the closeted queer person who finds solace in community by finally visiting a gay bar, and who then suddenly transforms into some sort of idealized, "normal" gay who flourishes in that environment - and just like any form of folklore, it's... not particularly real.
It works for some people, it doesn't for others, and though Wonder could have probably approached it better in many ways, it's hard to not be sympathetic to that experience. For how short this story is, it certainly got me thinking quite a bit!
