The labels have the character’s name followed by 受 (uke), which means being the receptive or passive partner, or in BL slang means the bottom. Most underrated organizational system ever by the way. Please show this to anyone who claims that “unwoke” Japan doesn’t “shoehorn queerness into everything”.

    “The country that’s been drawing women with penises for decades has suddenly been infiltrated by the LGBT” is an absolute nonsense take. Most Japanese people support gay marriage being legalized, the country just isn’t democratic in any meaningful way.
