Rotten Apples

BL, yaoi, shōnen-ai, MLM, bara—various Western abbreviations and Japanese terminologies exist to blanket a niche subset of homosexual media. Join us to learn what led two young, otherwise innocent individuals to descend into a spiral of uncontrollable lust that continues to shadow our daily lives. (And to NOT learn who between us is Kiki and Mimi. We forgot to introduce ourselves. Good luck figuring that out.)

**This episode is 27 minutes long, and we mention 30+ minutes in the recording. We can't edit it out without sounding even more like actual n00bs than we already are.

Why is Song Myeong-shin such a bitch? Join Kiki and Mimi for the second episode of Rotten Apples and our first-ever installment of our BL review series, where we try and fail to answer all of your burning questions. Make sure to check out the English translation on Lezhin.

Toxic, content is toxic, as is the BL genre generally. TW for depictions of non-consent.

No discussion of BL (boys' love) or yaoi is complete without an uncomfortable foray into A/B/O dynamics. No one knows how it works, least of all the content creators. Flip your browsers to incognito boys, because the Omegaverse is back. Stay for unsolicited insight into your hosts’ questionable kinks.

The omegaverse isn't without its own set of real-world controversies. TW for references to non-consent and rampant, systemic misogyny.

Why is pasta made of chickpeas nowadays? We're not ranking SEO, that's for sure. Join us in our chaotic deep dive of Haga's and Kang Ji-young's popular BL manhwa King's Maker.

Make sure to check out King's Maker on TappyToon. TW for pedophilia, insinuated incest, sexual content, and coercion.
