About

"That's Forbidden Love" is a phrase used to describe a taboo relationship, usually between two women or girls. It has been popularized with an image macro of Hitomi Shizuki from Puella Magi Madoka Magika. It is often associated with the related phrase "Girls Can't Love Girls".

Origin

The quote was originally said by Hitomi Shizuki, a character from the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which aired in 2011. On January 29th, 2011, a screencap of the character from the show with the comment "But that's forbidden love" was posted on 4chan's /a/ (anime and manga) board[1].


Spread

On March 10th, 2011, an image macro (pictured below, left) based off the original post surfaced on 4chan's /a/ board[2]. On February 12th, 2012, a similar image macro (pictured below, right) with the caption "Girls can't love girls", a line that appeared in the English dub of the anime, was posted on /a/[3].


BUTTHATS FORBIDDENLOVE GIRLS CANT LOVE GIRLS

Over the following years, the image macro became an exploitable and was redrawn with various characters (examples shown below).


BUT THAT'S FORBIDDEN LOVE Butth thats forbiddenlove

Various Examples

    I'm actually indifferent towards Hitomi, but I feel that there should be some quality control on the gallery since it's filled with "OMFUM* HITOMI IS SUCH A ***CH FOR STEALING SAYAKA'S MAN! SHE SHOULD BE CRUCIFIED ON A CROSS OF FIRE!" pictures. While yes, she did basically serve as a plot device for Sayaka turning into a Witch, it's not like she's some a heartless ***re who only existed to make Sayaka suffer. She told her she was gonna confuse to Kyousuke instead of doing it behind Sayaka's back and it was mentioned that she grieved over her death off-screen. And even then, it's basically ignoring the fact that this is a Faustian tale. It doesn't matter what deal you make with Kyubey, you are gonna get screwed through some tragic twist. Even Madoka got erased from existence because of her wish. That and the fact that Sayaka's arc is based on some elements of the original Little Mermaid (the depressing version, not the Disney one) with Hitomi representing the princess the prince (in this case Kyousuke) fell in love with instead.

      Whoa, calm down, dude! The 3rd movie pulled most of these drama bombs out of the fire and gave the whole thing a much calmer end. Sayaka is smiling at the couple and not even going psycho on them. I highly recommend catching it.

  • William The Brit - 8 years ago

    I feel it should be noted that Hitomi is essentially shipping Sayaka and Madoka so she's not really being anti-lesbian, it's more like the thrill of forbidden love is getting her excited.
