  I’m not very familiar with anime terminology, so forgive me ignorance.

  Yaoi is boy love content… right? We talk about a female version of a male historical person.

  … How do those two fit together? Is it still yaoi if the referenced char is male?

  … Or is this just a joke and I am too dense?

    You are correct, I implied that I want at least some of those to not be a female version, but a regular male version, engaging in sexy boy love antics

    Yaoi can have overlap with the genderbend genre, though I don’t think it quite applies here.

    Actually, since a fuckton of it is futa I don’t know if either really apply here

      Oh!! … Is that the assumed aspect when historic figures are pictured as anime girls?

      I always assumed it’s just some quirky “ignore history and put potential waifu into anime” thing…
