This was a really great comment! What is yaoi? I have heard that most Straight FTM are obsessed with it. I also think there is a social contagion element to this

Thanks lol.

What is yaoi?

I am so glad you asked instead of looking it up. It is anime gay male porn which generally targets women. It usually has pedophilic themes, which are legal in Japan ( :c ), and is generally het relationships projected onto gay men. Now, what I mean by that is that it mirrors het relationship gender roles. More specifically, there is an older, aggressive, dominant, masculine male, called the "seme", and a young, feminine, submissive male called the "uke". Can you guess which one is the top and which one is the bottom? 🙄

I also think there is a social contagion element to this

Yes, and the propaganda.
