i work at a comic shop and am "looking forward" to seeing that fencing comic every day - i love boom's penchant for pubbing niche-for-comics-industry genres and audiences, and i'm not opposed to women writing m/m stuff in general, but Bad Yaoi Tropes: The Book lady would not have been my first choice
tbh i think at this point issues w her content extend well past ‘bad yaoi tropes’ and have their own can of worms to delve into (racism being one iirc), but like, this comic would be fine if a) she wasnt the author b) she didnt say she was interested in making it gay while also keeping the female gaze in mind.
would it have been so hard to find an actual member of the lgbt community who had an idea for an lgbt sports comic? is that really so rare? why her, why cs “sexual slavery can be p hot” pcat
