Heated Rivalry and Fujoshi
from The Queer Ritual Podcast · host Riki B Malone
This episode is 17+ only!Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate! This episode is a bit of a departure from my usual content. I'll be discussing Heated Rivalry, where it can be problematic, and how this gay Eurasian podcaster from a hockey family who even dated a Slavic European in Boston in 2010 is...not the target audience demographic?I talk about the fujoshi phenomenon (women who read gay male erotica) and how white writers can learn to write better minority (especially Asian) characters.I know I'm in the minority opinion when it comes to not liking this show. Please keep any comments civil or simply keep them to yourself!Articles cited:"Girls Who Love Boys Who Love Boys" by E.
