Status Updates From BL進化論　ボーイズラブが社会を動かす

”沿用公式的BL作品不僅完全容許恐同，還將同性戀視為提高戲劇性的工具。當兩名男主角正式進入戀愛關係後，還讓兩人不斷重複招牌台詞：「我不是同志，但我喜歡你。」這樣的台詞卻帶有一種「只要是男人都愛的（真實）同志都是不正常（abnormal)」的貶抑。換言之，公式化的BL不僅以恐同為前提，也透過再生產流程，形成雙重恐同的言說裝置。“

The slow going is because I am taking "notes" or kinda sorta translating this into German as I read (I can't seem to make up my mind as to what I'm doing exactly)

This is slow going, but really interesting.

進化論 means theory of evolution. The evolution of BL means two things, basically: BL itself has slowly but surely been evolving, dealing with subjects like homophobia and how to overcome misogyny. And because of that kind of BL, society itself is evolving. That's the basic thesis the book is trying to proof.

What's amazing is that I kept thinking, "Is she writing about me?" when I read the foreword where she recalls her own history with BL (or rather its predecessors) and its influence on her acceptance of her own sexuality. I didn't really read BL (or m/m) either, but whatever novel that was sort of like it I could find, and it definitely influenced me and helped me, too.
