Episode Summary

The One Where Fujoshi Solve the Masculinity Crisis. Featuring a possibly gay Bakugou Katsuki, Sasuke Shaming, and the always awesome Cristal Marie (Beyond the Bot)!

Episode Notes

BL Garden sits down with professional fujoshi Cristal Marie (our first host!) to talk about the inherent queer subtext of anime rivals, homophobia, misogyny in shounen fandoms, and our God-given right to be horny. Plus, a little thanks light in the craphole that was 2020.

Cristal Marie is an anime, BL culture, and video game expert by day and an award-winning recording artist by night! She is a member of the diverse nerd collective Beyond The Bot, an anime-focused YouTube channel that promotes inclusivity for weebs from all walks of life. Check out her website, follow her on Twitter, and learn how you can support Beyond the Bot.
