Fujojocast No. 16: Confronting BL Misconceptions
This is a really good podcast episode about the backlash against BL media—and by extension slash fic—in the Anglosphere (e.g. the "fetishization" claim), which is mostly driven by anti-trans views and purity culture. I love that this pod presents an East Asian perspective and how that broadens the discussion. Also, the episode summary (at punkednoodle.com) includes a link to some great resources at fujoshi.info.
In this podcast, I talk with Sam Aburime, an independent scholar, and Thomas Baudinette, Senior Lecturer from Macquarie University, about this growing vitriol on BL media and culture, its prevalence in Anglophone discourse, the various feminist and queer studies from all over the globe that are lost in this discourse, and how different communities are using BL as a tool to deepen and broaden their understanding of queer identities and media. —Khursten Santos
