just seeing "martial law" is already so scary...

do you guys feel bad about the uploaders or translators getting sued? because I don't. In my mind, I don't even feel bad for the artists, so why would I feel bad for the operators of piracy? I'm grateful, but I won't feel bad.

it hasn't even been released and the hgsn fandom has already gotten a lil toxic with the gatekeeping

I found this website [ https://www.fujoshi.info/ ] while searching for a Japanese artist who recently learned about pro-shippers and antis, referring to antis as the 'American feelings yakuza.' I also discovered that Japanese gay male artists don’t like their work being called 'bara' and prefer the term 'geikomi.' Anyway, I thought some people might be interested in reading this.

This website was created as a means to educate Anglophone (English-speaking) fandom and share academic resources on the topics of Fujoshi, Boys Love, Yaoi, and Danmei media. Danmei, BL, and Yaoi fall under Queer Media Studies in Asia. It is a rich category of literature used to freely explore sexuality, gender identity, social politics, and relationship dynamics for those often not at liberty to do so.

Since at least 2015 in Anglophone fandom, anti-trans groups began spreading disinformation about these topics, and unfortunately, fan spaces have never fully recovered. Instead, they are riddled with xenophobia, misogyny, racism, misinformation, and miscommunication.

Here you will find over 330 resources to educate yourself and others on BL, Yaoi, Danmei, Anti-fan behaviors, Psychology, and LGBTQ+ history written by scholars and professionals in these fields.

These resources were compiled to provide a hub of legitimate sources for the benefit of Anglophone (English-speaking) fan research and education. Asian sources (BL companies, BL scholars, etc.) and professional global academic resources are prioritized. Resources here include information about Queer History, Women's history topics that correlate with BL, Fujoshi, Fudanshi, Geikomi, Boys Love, Danmei, Yaoi, and the ethics of consuming fictional media and behavioral studies.

Did you all know that "child pornography (CP)" is now an outdated term? The new terms are "child sexual exploitation material (CSEM)" or "child sexual abuse material (CSAM)." They changed it because "child pornography" could imply that the child consented to it.
