This probably depends on country/age. When I was in hs I didn't really need to hide it, altho I'm not sure exactly how people would know unless they had phone or you wore merch to school (mine had uniforms)
@@ChronicalV True. During my HS days, I think a lot of us at school are into anime and general pop-culture. Idk. It's really weird. Afaik. No one really hides liking anime. In fact, we're proud of liking one. We decorate our bags with merch as well, (pins/badges, mostly) and no one got bullied from liking anime, too from what I've observed, and that was in the early 2000s. lol.
@@HeathenHacks wow thats pretty rare. I left hs only a few years ago, and no one was that bold. It was more a we kept to ourselves, and others wouldn't bother us kinda thing. I'm surprised no one made fun of you for having it on your bags as you walked around lol
Different connotations. When they say BL or yaoi, the assumed demographic is usually women. That's why you get usually more feminine looking men because women look for those aesthetics. Bara, on the other hand, is BL targeted for men. Which is why you usually muscular men on bara comics
@@Izuizuku yuri was always non-sexual I believe. Both the term yuri and bara originated from the same magazine barazoku aka they were both meant to be for their respective queer communities and then it was later sexualised (this is done with bare minimum research so I am def wrong in some aspects and all of the sources were western in origin talking about Japan in English). I think the reason BL is separated from Yaoi could also be the inherent sexualisation that happened with women reading yaoi and then BL rose up to be the non-sexual version? This last past is pure speculation and has no facts backing it on my part
Emataso is not seiso all along??? xD Must protect Nazupi and Met, guess Met is uncorrupted because she just joined Vspo? 🤣 Sasuga Hinano, she's like a pro Otaku who's good at hiding her "dark" side
I think that is Hinaano's personal opinion, she is an anti against saisonees of Ema lol. We all know Emataso is a saiso, pure, graceful and it is an absolute rule.
These idol, seisou, oshi things, all these stuffs boiled down from those real-life idols. Back in the days idols are expected to act diligent and gracefully as a role model for young females, especially children. But nowadays if you watch those big idol groups in national television most of them do not shy away or hide their hobbies and fantasies in public, a lot of them even fangirl about voice actors, anime characters, and what not. Also a lot of teenager nowadays are more open about it. You can go around asking people and even students who's their favourite national idol, what anime, game, music genre and they will give you a straight answer. Just like how Japan as a country is being more projective to the outside world, global if one would say. By today's standard the border between seisou and rotten is very blurred. Since if you categorized them all (VTubers) by original idol seisou standards they would all fail, especially when it comes to vernacular (egui, kuso, shine, gaki et cetera) and also through action like the infamous daipan.
Hinano finds bara beautiful huh. Are we talking about the same bara where the character is bulky and muscly af? If yes then damn Hinano you're not just pitch black corrupted, you're swimming in it
She never denied it lol she knows she the queen otaku in vspo. She's even more cultured than beni. She used to be a CM for an rp roleplay chat server. There's no bigger drowning in otaku than that. Tbh the only white ones in vspo are Met, Runa, Uruha, Noah, Toto and Ramune
TLDR: It is a 昭和 (Shouwa (Era)) kind of thing, like your boomer - gen x thing in the west. Well, it was originally serialised as 少年愛 (Shounen Ai literally means Adolescence Male Love / Boy Love) as a 少女漫画 (Shoujo Manga lit Adolescence Female Manga) sub-genre back in the 70s.

Alright so… 1. I too am into pure love. I don’t get the whole GL or BL thing. I just want 1 guy and 1 girl. 2. I feel like I’ve suddenly learned a lot more about Hinano-San now and during rust than I have throughout the few clips of OreApo.. or I’m just an idiot with adhd who forgot..

She literally quits one of her job on day 1 cause she wqs bored 😂

How about Ramunee
Of course, back in school you got to hide that shit like it's your secret identity.
This probably depends on country/age. When I was in hs I didn't really need to hide it, altho I'm not sure exactly how people would know unless they had phone or you wore merch to school (mine had uniforms)
lmao yeah, did that too untill my seatmate found me sketching Jotaro in class.
rookie mistake

@@ChronicalV Yeah. Really depends on the school/country, I guess.
When I was doing a military service for 2 years I had to hide my otaku side like I don't know/interested at all to not be bullied.

I've read this somewhere before but the term yaoi is something that was first used by westerners to denote BL, not the Japanese.
wasnt GL and yuri is also kinda different, like GL's story more lean on to romantic scene while yuri story is more into scissor scene. cmiw
That's just the english speaking world interpretation of the Japanese terms, not how Japanese actually use them.
Very interesting nonetheless

Wait a minute... Todoroki? 2 Tone haired character? 🤔 Hmmm
Emataso and Toto chi the pure of VSPO
Lmao u haven’t watched a lot of Emataso streams have you?
I can tell why u assumingly put her as “seiso”.
They don't call it yaoi in Japan?
They know the abbreviation but they don't really use it
apparently so, there is this clip: th-cam.com/video/BOuvUyT0STY/w-d-xo.html where Kiara had to explain to Hachaama what "Yaoi" was.
i'm sorry if i'm being ignorant here but what does white, black and pitch black means?😅

I wonder what su chan is.. prob white no?
Probably same as met and only watches mainstream ones. She rarely talks about otaku stuff so its either she's a casual or just good at hiding it.
Suchan is alien 👽❤❤
Alright so…
1. I too am into pure love. I don’t get the whole GL or BL thing. I just want 1 guy and 1 girl.
2. I feel like I’ve suddenly learned a lot more about Hinano-San now and during rust than I have throughout the few clips of OreApo.. or I’m just an idiot with adhd who forgot..
