So apparently I like guy-on-guy sex because I'm a proponent of female chastity who feels threatened by het.

'Twas said by academics, so it must be true!
*snort* Would it be too much trouble for them to go and find an academic who actually likes the subject on which they are opining?

And as a not-so-aside, the artwork at the top of this article was done by the wonderful Kiriko Moth, and since they didn't link to her, I will.

Shades of our continuing conversation :| Yes, there are chicks out there writing "yaoi" whose ulterior motives submarine, sophomoric and transparently, just beneath; they tend to use one of the male characters as a female proxy, and they tend to uke him out. They aren't interested in teh awesome and undeniable hawt of male-male carnal relations- they're just too jealous of canon female characters to write het, and just conscious enough to disdain the construct of "Mary Sues".

And we know the archetype. We recognize her from each other. I won't cite individuals, they're as easy to spot as whores in church...or virgins in a brothel, to wax more apropos...

...unlike notowned above *snerk*
As mistressrenet pointed out, she obviously didn't research further than one or two books, and those most likely outdated. The idea that this might be an art form with complexities and progressions much like any other seems to have passed her by. Like pretty much everything else obviously did.

Not to mention five minute's work on Japanese censorship laws would've helped.
