Yeah I watched it and it made me rethink a lot of stuff I complain about when it comes to gay manga. It also really makes me want to go to 2chome.

I wish she had gotten into yuri because that seems like mostly gay creators and they might have had more positive to say about it but with BL being such a massive phenomenon and comparing the attitude toward actual gay people with it I can see why they focused on it. Takarazuka would have been really cool I should really try to watch some.

The trailer’s next sound bite (from a white gay man) corroborates the thesis: “If you think that you live in a part of the world where there aren’t gay people, you’re wrong.”

Ellen chortles in concurrence.

Let’s be clear: If you think you live in a part of the world where eugenics-based systems of sexual classification did not supplant the expansive sexual practices and kinship arrangements of indigenous populations in the service of imperial domination, you’re wrong.

If we're still talking about Tales yaoi (and again, we always are, it's just the language is pretty well-coded most of the time), I genuinely do not get Sorey x Mikleo. They're really just a couple of nerds who have known each other for a long time and get into amusing archaeological arguments with each other all the time.

If I were to ship any two Tales guys, it would easily be Lloyd x Zelos. That's understandable.

Edit: yes, yes, I know a large portion of Tales' Japanese fan base is fujoshi. But still.

Alternatively, Rotten Women decolonize these normative prescriptions of gender and sexuality; troubling familiar forms of identity and community by privileging female friendship as the route to sexual pleasure rather than romantic coupling, and express that pleasure in negative feelings—embarrassment, cynicism.

I Failed At Anime 2022
I got into BL pretty late so there wasn't any of the typical teenage girl likes yaoi because....I dunno, actually, why that's a teenage girl thing because I have only vaguely paid attention to the "why fujos like stuff" theorizing. I was reading shoujo romance and got tired of all the teenagers so I started reading josei romances, but there was virtually nothing translated and what was available was released at a glacial pace, so I turned to BL to find adult characters in romance and relationships that actually have some payoff. I like when characters get to have relationships and move past the initial start into the problems couples have staying together and BL manga is probably the most reliable place to find that stuff. Plus I like looking at guys so it's nice to have all male casts but I don't dislike female characters, enjoy MF romance just as much as MM, and while FF romance doesn't really appeal to me as strongly as long as there's a good story there I like those too.



poo poo it's 20 til 5, I've stayed up far too late, and have a terrible headache see y'all tomorrow afternoon sometime
