/report!: yaoi, yaoi everywhere

[rageprufrock]

Come one, come all (no, seriously), /reporters! After several geologic eras of my incubating whatever disease killed Gwyneth Paltrow in Contagion, we're finally back to Sunday evening posting! This week mklutz and I are joined by Lianne Sentar of Sleep Is For The Weak to talk about yaoi, boys love, some of its history, some of its many questionable and delightful facets, to give the curious or the nostalgic recommendations, and then we spend some time advocating mklutz's future career in audio porn.

(Fair warning to listeners, as a natural result of the subject matter, we talk quite a bit about dubious consent and nonconsensual sex.)

I loved, loved, loved this episode, even though everyone in my school library now thinks I am a crazy person because I kept bursting out laughing. I totally agree with the need for a podcast for our fannish version of crazy bitches. Even though I have only the most meager knowledge of mainstream manga, I really enjoyed the discussion and I'm going to check out a few of the title mentioned :)
