The Mainstreamification of Fandom- BONUS Episode: Paging Dr. Thomas
What happens when Boys’ Love goes mainstream? In this special bonus episode of The Yaoi Shelf, we’re joined by BL scholar Dr. Thomas Baudinette to dive deeper into the evolving landscape of BL and yaoi media. Together, we unpack how the genre has shifted from niche fandom spaces into global mainstream culture, and what that transformation means for creators, publishers, fans, and queer representation. Join hosts Author Carola and AichiYume in a fun jaunt to The Yaoi Shelf: an exploration of yaoi, shonen ai, and boy's love while discussing tropes, media criticism and more along the way. Grab a seat and get comfy, welcome to The Yaoi Shelf. Important Links: https://theyaoishelf.carrd.co/ Support The Show: patreon.com/TheYaoiShelf
