it's only recently I learned that the 'mog' part of 'mogging' stands for 'male of group' (shortened from 'alpha male of group'). so the definition of 'mogging' as like, being deemed superior to someone else in some way or another is using manhood as synonymous with relational superiority.

this was obvious subtext anyway (the whole ideology in which the term emerges is a male supremacist one) but learning it's so explicit and unambiguous was kind of surprising. doubly so since this term is already starting the process of integrating into general usage outside this subculture, first as "ironic," then as decontextualized ("it's just outshining someone!"), and eventually probably as sincere.

casual reminder that it is probably best to not adopt the misogynistic concept of conveying hierarchical superiority in interpersonal contexts as "funny internet slang."

BADI, otherwise stylized as Bʌ́di (バディ), was a Japanese magazine for gay men that ran from 1994 to 2019. The magazine first started with illustrated covers, but as gay culture became stronger and men less afraid, they began gracing the covers as well. The magazine published a range of content from manga to life advice, fashion articles and sexual health advisories.

I personally find BADI one of the most beautiful and impactful gay magazines, and it's safe to say it's had a massive impact on gay visual culture. While I don't have a perfect archive that goes back to the early days, I have located all monthly issues of BADI from 2010 to 2019 and saved the covers to my hard drive. I will be scheduling them to post on my blog once a week. They will be tagged under #The BADI Archive.

This post will act as a helpful masterlist, and I hope you all enjoy the ride with me. If possible, I'd love to go back and collect vintage editions as well! Anyone who has any leads, please let me know.
