I like you style *-* allthough I only read manga or novel
anyway love this and wet moon <3
*I* remember when there was a definite difference in boy/boy love and yaoi.
Yaoi was M/M love smut for females by females (some *rare* times a male mangaka) that was drama fodder incestuous rape *drama* that was meant to titillate and feed the the female reader's inner soap/gossip addict. It is by no illusion a remotely accurate depiction of gay male relations or *any* healthy relationship in any shape or form.
Boy/boy love is more romantic love with a touch of romantic *angst* added to taste (some like it mild, some like it super spicy flaming). It will climax with *the ultimate SEX!* (maybe a hint or preview of *the ultimate SEX!* peppered for angst's sake depending).
None of these have correct depictions of 'real' gay sex or relationships. All female characters are ether furniture, fag-hags or *evil* plot devises.
It is a genera and it is a common fan-fic plot device- but it annoys me when people project the fan-fic mind-set of Yoai to something that is clearly (to me any way- but I'm dated and *old* apparently) *not* Yaoi (thank god. Love it, binge on it but I need *healthy* reading in my life thank you).
These days people default calling anything male/male or gay male Yaoi- I am assuming- because Yaoi has become the main stream default to male on male smut/romance. Even actual gay comics written by gay men (with a largely female fan base I might add) put their stories in the Yaoi genera because that's where females looking for boy/boy m/m loving look.
Seeing as Glen + Harrison are *actually* gay and the females in Wet Moon are not plot furniture, fag-hags or *EVIL* plot devices- I'm going to conclude they are *not* Yaoi.
Glen is on the girly side, but...he's Goth (or Emo? I can't tell). He would be girly even with a flaming hot bikini bikini babe.
