lesbian yaoi
I'm probably gonna get yelled at for saying this but sometimes something isn't a real problem in fandom, you just learned a Japanese word describing a general fandom practice and got scared and decided it meant "The Bad Ones" of that practice
Whenever you see someone being like "we don't mind when women enjoy or even create m/m content, we just hate fujoshis" you are being racist. If you mean "I hate the way some female fans treat gay men like fetish objects" then say that, and we can have a conversation based on that, but "fujoshi" is, I cannot stress this enough, just a word for any woman who likes M/M content, for better or worse. It may have started out as a reclaimed insult (by the way, the insult was based on "liking gay shit makes you perverted and sinful," not "please respect the humanity of gay men") but it does not make a distinction between The Good Ones and The Bad Ones. You just decided to No True Scotsman it and that the English word for that should describe The Good Ones and the Japanese word for it should describe The Bad Ones
Same goes for the people I saw just the other day whose discord server explicitly disallowed "Yaoi" but said that M/M content was allowed. What they meant was "M/M content is allowed as long as it isn't pornographic and fetishistic." What they actually said was "M/M content is allowed, but M/M content is strictly forbidden," and expected you to understand that the Japan-Adjacent term has porn/fetish connotations while the English-language term for THE SAME THING refers to the "normal, non-perverted" version.
It'd be like if you used the word "cartoons" to refer to all Family-Friendly animation, regardless of style or country of origin, whether it's Japanese or American or French or whatever, and used the term "anime" to refer to all animated pornography regardless of style or country of origin. There's plenty of animated pornography that isn't Japanese! There's plenty of anime that's not pornographic! But this is the sort of thing you do when you say shit like "obviously women can read stories about gay men, but NO FUJOSHIS"
Yeah, and I'll add in the 70s and 80s ppl using "Japanamation" in PRECISELY THAT WAY to denigrate all Japanese animation as pornography was absolutely a thing you'd sometimes run into in USian nerd circles.
From out of the shadows: vintage Bigfoot, Yeti, and Cousin Itt imagery.
I’ll stick with yuri, thanks
Just once id like a narrative with a mysteriously dead teen girl to do the scene where the person looking into it finds their journal/sketch book and instead of ominous clues it's just filled with yaoi dudes getting railed
this needs to be framed and hung in tumblr hq
Light Yaoigami :> :> :>
You're on a train in the alps with a beautiful boy,
not for long you aren’t
I finished Fellowship and it’s on to The Two Towers! Boromir’s been yeeted over a waterfall and now this moment, one of my favorites from the movies, has happened, bringing me great joy. I’m not always feeling compelled by the characterization in the books so far, but I’m starting to really enjoy Legolas and Gimli. This is yaoi.
yuri is when there’s themes and motifs and yaoi is when there’s two blokes who do fuck all. if you reblog this you love trans people
American fangirls came up with and popularized omegaverse porn, which traveled to Japan and then China through the fujoshi social network. since BL is illegal in China, some of their online communities require a written exam that demonstrates in-depth knowledge of works in the genre considered to be classics. some female self-published BL authors in China have received harsher prison sentences than male rapists, and at least one BNF is having her mortgage paid by her fans while she's in prison because it was supplementary income the author used to support her factory wages, having left home due to fairly extreme patriarchal abuse from her entire family
it's kind of weird for me to watch American propaganda swing toward anti-China sentiments in real time, having read so many research articles about this
Any character can have big naturals if you imagine hard enough, like Walter White
Oh so people will reblog among us yaoi but not Walter White Big Naturals huh

Dear @guiltiest-gear,
Hi! This post is alright but what really intrigues me is your mention of "among us yaoi." If you don't mind, could you elaborate on that subject? Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,

Dear @that-house,
Thank you for asking and for your continued interest in my posts! Among us yaoi is gay sex between two crewmates, perhaps including the impostor as well. Hope this answers your question.

Dear @guiltiest-gear,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! Your response answers some of my questions but raises an important follow-up question: is among us yaoi a form of yuri? I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Subject: Re: Re: Re: above post
Dear @that-house,
Thanks again for your questions! Among us yuri could technically be another form of yuri, as crewmates and impostors are often not depicted as either male or female in any clear or obvious resemblance. Although one could investigate the genders of said crewmates to give an exact determination of whether it would be yaoi, yuri, or straight sex, it matters not in the end. Love is love after all. Thank you again for your continued support.
Sincerely,

Dear @guiltiest-gear,
This world is so full of wonder! Thank you for explaining the complexities of among us yaoi and/or yuri to me. Please never email me again, as this was a harrowing experience I do not wish to repeat. Thank you and goodbye.
Sincerely,
AND SCENE! OK EVERYONE THAT'S A WRAP FOR TODAY, GREAT JOB OUT THERE. JADE, I LOVED WHAT YOU DID TYING THE CLASSIC "I SEE NO DIFFERENCE, LOVE IS LOVE" MEME INTO THE EXISTING DISCUSSION, FUCKING PHENOMENAL IMPROVISED LINE. WE'RE GONNA RUN THIS CUT BY SOME TEST AUDIENCES AND SEE IF WE NEED TO DO A RESHOOT, BUT GREAT JOB TODAY. AWESOME STUFF. I'M GONNA GO DO A LINE OF COKE IN MY OFFICE. PEACE
Oh so this is what we're doing now
this is the best sentence ever typed
me after the socialist revolution when yaoi is outlawed
Yaoi is the origin of all literature. Read the Epic of Gilgamesh and tell me that isn’t true. I dare you
