Okay - normally I leave all the yaoi-related stuff to AnaKhouri, but I figured I’d put my toes in the water a little and talk a bit ‘o man-to-man love.
About.com’s Deb Aoki notes that yaoi artist Youka Nitta has pulled out of Yaoi-Con, possibly due to claims that she traced a number of fashion photographs for use in her work. (I’m reminded of the line from Chasing Amy, with regards to inking comics: “You’re a tracer!”)
To be honest, I’m not chuffed one way or the other - I’m just using this story as a test-case for writing more yaoi-themed posts in the future.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled post.
