Crunchyroll has just this season released some HILARIOUSLY bad subs, particularly with some of the other shows they're handling in this season too. Not really a reliable source.

As for that second claim, umm... Objectively false, and hell there's a couple pretty good anime which bring up the topic, Hoshiai no Sora only touches on it, although it looks like there was plans to expand on that in the second half of the series before that got cancelled due to unrelated disputes between staff members and the studio's corporate side.

Meanwhile there's also Hourou Muskou, a manga which managed to have enough success to get a full run and an anime adaptation despite completely focusing on the struggles of a transgender girl in Nitori, and the stuff her generally also pretty queer friend group gets up to. This was a thing that was successful. In japan.

Symphogear is also incredibly gay and much MORE popular in japan than "the west", as you put it.

Generally the split is very similar to "the west", where it's mainly the older generations who don't understand or care for LGBT people and the new rising talent on the scene which explores the issues that group faces. Japan just has a more rigid social caste system so the older generations have more control over the international percerption of the country.
