    Fujoshis (defined rotten girls in japanese culture) like yaoi (basically slender beautiful men gay romance), bear night would be a fan for girls who like bara (overly muscular gay hairy men)

      Bears don’t need muscle, unless I am misinformed. I think they just need to be large; whether by muscle, fat or a combination is irrelevant

        Also there are muscular twinks. Tbh most “twinks” in media have abs. They don’t have bulging muscle, but they’re almost always depicted with lean muscle. Because body shaming.

          also just like, most people don’t get a twinkish figure by sitting around and doing nothing.

          typically takes a lot of time in the gym to get slender and thin. not many ways to get a tight tummy that looks cute in a crop that doesn’t also work your ab muscles.

      I’ve heard that yaoi was more meant for the female audience, and bara for a male audience., but there are probably different interpretations.

        Baras origins were male oriented yes(general gay content). Yaoi was an offshoot of shoujo media which are female audience forward. whether you consume the content has no bearing tot he terms. Doesnt stop some guy who wants to consume yaoi, or some female who wants to consume bara.
