Episode description
Why is Boy's Love a thing? In answering this question, hosts Wu Fan and Jingnan take on a topic we're seriously passionate and passionately serious about: Chinese BL. We unpack the specific aesthetics and tropes of Danmei as well as creative negotiations in Dangai unique to China. But we're not just here to fangirl—we also explore gender, sexuality, history, culture, nationalism, and many more facets of identity-formation and community-building inherent in the appreciation for BL.
