What an icon. Not only is Fujimoto an ally to the gays, he’s willing to use his platform to promote his subordinates’ work. The magazine is a compilation of “boys love” comics which depict gay relationships between young men, and R-18 is a Japanese rating that indicates explicit content. You can preview a small sample of pages from the anthology by clicking the orange button on this site. I can’t read Japanese, but the art is quite good. It also warms my heart that one of my favorite manga series is being illustrated by someone who enjoys gay yearning as much as I do.
Pederasty fantasies from a troon writer
Fans’ responses have been hilarious. Some are tweeting like it’s their sworn duty to read gay smut if their favorite manga artist tells them to. “SIR YES SIR FUJIMOTO SIR GLORY TO THE [BOYS’ LOVE] EMPIRE,” tweeted one fan. “Gonna read gay porn for the first time for Fujimoto,” wrote another admirer who might be having their queer awakening soon.
Bro read the quote. It's literally "hey one of my assistants got his work published in this magazine. Check it out". That's it. It's typical kotaku spin
although it could also be Kotaku's bullshit interpretation of whatever was said and done
That's my thought. Sounds like he was promoting a colleague's work? As long as he keeps producing good manga idgaf what else he does in the rest of his life.
Japanese speaker here. Translation of what he said is:
This is a one-shot by an assistant that worked on the backgrounds in Chainsaw Man. It's R-18, but it is interesting so check it out.
Its a very neutral quote. Also worth noting that the culture around yuri and yaoi fandom in Japan is infinitely different than similar shit in America.
That's probably true in the west but for what it's worth Boys Love is super popular with women who read manga in Japan. Whether you want to call those women "normies" is up for debate. While it is gay porn I have to assume reading those is a little different than watching gay porn videos on pornhub. It's all very feminine romance stories that also include sex scenes.
I'm not at all interested in this whatever, but y bunch of you are being a bit of drama queens.
He isn't forcing anyone to look at gay porn. He is giving a shoutout to a person he knows, who is less famous and more of a beginner in the industry.
Stop acting like Fujimoto is personally tying you to a chair to force you to watch hardcore gay pedo porn 24/7 Mechanical Orange-style, for some secret liberal political gain.
To make it into a political drama and act like JAPAN IS GOING TO EXPLODE now is downright hysteria.
But hey, take the word of KOTAKU, known for honest, unbiased and high quality reporting.
Do not look at what was said and the context (namely that a lot of Japanese cutesy homo shit is just that, it's not political, just the emotional, woman version of lesbo porn).
He said something different. He gave a shout out to one of his assistants getting their R18 manga published and to take a look if you are interested. Kotaku of course had to spin it into some pro gay shit and finding context that does not exist
Figured the guy is either being a mere coomer and Kotaku is glorifying it for propaganda purposes, or Kotaku was making shit up again as usual practice for a regressive leftist propaganda rag.
Isn't there literally a lesbian orgy at one point? Like, if you're wanting to avoid the gays and you read Chainsaw Man, you might be a bit late... or maybe it's only bad when it's disgusting males and not hot sexy womans (shrug)
BL/GL readers have no cultural connection to American queerness in any way, the same way Japanese gender bending has no cultural connection to the trans movement.
Something about Chainsaw Man never sat right with me, to the point I suspected the creator was some kind of something. Commie? Pedo? Never was sure. But take a look at the overall theme of the show. "Gore is cool, demons are cool, humans making pacts with demons is cool, human sacrifices (Makima's temple scene) is cool and a good thing. I'm keenly aware that this sounds like some evangelical whining, but I've never been one of those people, and CM has that shit in such a degree that it actually makes the dials on my "something is wrong here" machine wiggle. Even a show like Hellsing never went in on "Hell and demons are awesome" to such a degree while seemingly taking its lore seriously.
It felt subversive. no other way to put it. But I blew it off as just me getting old and my perceptions changing. Until this comes out. BL/yaoi has been around forever, but nobody brags about it in public like this. Its considered a fairly shameful fetish even in Japan, with artists usually doing it under a pseudonym and nobody ever bragging about it. Especially not the fat fujoshis who are the main market for it.
Makima is literally the villain of the story, tho. She is never portrayed as anything else, even Denji's obsession with her is shown as pathetic, sad and the result of him being fucked up.
I don't think pacts with demons are shown to be cool.
A bunch of the people got fucked through them. When were demons cool in it? I mean... Pochita is cute, but even that mutually beneficial partnership is making Denji's life both much better and infinitely more dangerous and also very traumatic.
Demons ruin the lives of everybody who partners with them, Makima is unbelievably manipulative and the main villain, but I will grant you that it does make the guy with chainsaws for arms look badass in fights.

So being gay is a choice?

That sounds like pedophilia with extra steps. I bet it's very popular in the TERF community.
Pederasts have literally been calling themselves "boylovers" for decades. They even have a logo and everything, this sort of a triangle thing.
Reminder that NAMBLA is a real group and not just a joke from some forgotten hack of a comedian.

That's not even close to true. It's so untrue there was a South Park episode mocking women for it.
So literally using his popularity to help get a colleague's work more spotlight is according to Kotaku, support of gay porn and LGBT whatever...
Has Kotaku EVER written a piece that's at least more than 60% factual and not their spin?

We all have our degenerate fantasies, yours is no different.

Japan will fall.

I could tell something was up with that manga just from the audience it seemed to draw.

I thought this meant Fujimoto had made a yaoi comic. Disappointing
