The Mainstreamification of BL and Yaoi
Yaoi has gone mainstream. It's never been more popular or easier to be a #fujo but is all that glitters truly gold? And what do we lose as this vibrant and diverse fandom becomes more and more part of mainstream culture? In this episode, hosts Amanda and Carola discuss the infamous New Yorker article about fujoshis, the Syundei situation and how being normiepilled isn't great for the BL community. 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.
