>>3030028 that's spiffy but did you know that the popularization/takeover of bara is actually an intentional co-opting of much older gay porn publishings in japan which predominately featured bishonen and effeminate, lithe, youthful men?
gengoroh tagame was one of the two degens behind the 'revolution". he hated twinks and twunks being the norm because he's the manisfestation of a fat old ugly bastard, so of course seeing pretty young men made him feel undesirable.
the same tagame also shoehorned hiv+ and lgbt rights into the bara cum mags and illustrates children's books in the same style as his hardcore porn. now ain't that just quackin crazy, jimbo?
