Re: Thoughts on crossplaying females in the bishounen auction 2 Years, 1 Month ago
[quote="DerBlaueEngel"]Yay! First post here.
If this were a true Yaoi-con, not only would women not be allowed to buy at the auction and the whole event would be men only!

Actually, thats not necessarily true. A male only event would be GAY, not yaoi, and they already have plenty of those. Yaoi is about female fantasy. It's about the female view of male/male relationships, and our view of the aesthetics of men. I think a lot of people forget that this is about how women view men.
We are a niche con. A con filling a VERY small niche. A very focused niche. Yaoi is not about cross dressing females. Cross dressing females is shoujo, and we are not a shoujo con.
