Content notes: Some frank language and abstracted discussions of rape; thorny passive verbs.

If you have strong feelings about yaoi objectifying or fetishizing actual gay people... this may read as a defense of that objectification from a position of privilege. I'll admit that I'm hugely wishy-washy on this point.

When Fujimoto talks about "shounen ai," she's talking very specifically about a genre of manga, mostly from the 70s, that is things like Hagio Moto's "Thomas's Heart" and Takemiya Keiko's "Song of the Wind and Trees," these really ethereal and otherworldly manga of intense tragic love. "Shounen ai" is often used in the US to mean something like "G-rated slash based on anime and manga," but it's not used that way in Japanese fandom.
