NEWS: DMI Adds Yuu Moegi's Katekyo! Boys-Love Manga

I as a gay man can tell right off the bat that this is more unrealistic masturbation material. Completely unbalanced in terms of relationship dynamic and, oh hey, there seems to be ramification-free attempted rape! That is SO the way into a young man's heart! UGH.

What have us gay men ever done to you straight women that you want to keep treating us like toys? If you all want to sexually objectify men, do it to the straight ones! Your beef is with them.

It doesn’t really. People know what’s necessary in real life - my strips are pure escapist fantasy.
...
You should see my Slaves to Lust for the same publication - out-and-out SM! You can be as explicit as you’re able or inclined…
...
My opinion is that we buy (usually expensive) gay erotica for the sex, so I aim to provide as much pornography as I can cram in with as little costly ‘padding’ as possible - so fuller characterisation must give way to randiness!

Hahahahaha. For some reason, from just reading the header I thought this was announcing the license acquisition of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!... which then made me almost die laughing since it said, "Katekyo Boys-Love Manga."

I know, I know. KHR's manga has been licensed for a good while in the states. I was aware of this, and yet, it seems for the sake of funny, my brain chose to forget that fact for a minute or two.

But seriously, this is great news. Always fun to see new BL titles get some love.

Funny because I know several people who would disagree with your moralizing of clearly fictional work. And artists and author like Oliver Frey would disagree as well. He thinks yaoi is "cute", and ironically his works are a lot more hardcore. As a gay man, he also knows what his audience wants:
