The episode never really picks a side in the debate over whether yaoi art is a positive form of expressive entertainment or the result of obsessive delusion. All the boys’ public charade does is fuel a new genre of art showing their bitter, tragic, and entirely assumed fallout. There’s plenty of yaoi fan art that operates under the theory that hate and love are just two sides of the same coin. If they publicly pretend to break up, that should at least stop the yaoi artists from drawing pictures of them, right? Meanwhile, Tweek and Craig, exasperated by their repeated failed attempts to explain that they are not, in fact, gay, decide to cut their losses. Japan picks who they pick and that’s that.” “I used to think that being gay was a choice, but you don’t get to decide. “Japan, of course, is who does the yaoi to make people gay.” After some misguided research, the conclusions he comes to include: Marsh, in an effort to show his son how progressive he is, pretends to know more about the subject than he really does. ▼ “What makes the Asians decide who they’re gonna make gay?” Confused about how such relationships happen, Stan asks his father an important question. Still, not everyone comes to grips with the situation so easily. It even starts showing up at local art festivals, where the representations of unabashed affection have a ripple effect on the emotions of the community, bringing couples closer together. Couple this with South Park’s citizens’ tendency to get caught up in any sort of trend or hysteria, and soon Tweek and Craig yaoi art is everywhere. It sounds like a positive, life-affirming moment… but Tweek and Craig aren’t gay.Īs fans of the genre will tell you, though, yaoi artists tend not to be bothered by such details as the actual sexual orientations of their muses. With the town’s recent push to be more socially accepting, most of the children, along with their teachers and many of the other adult residents of South Park, are quick to voice their support of Tweek and Craig’s love. But then she shows some examples, drawn by a group of Asian students at the school and starring two of their classmates, blond-haired Tweek and permanently hat-wearing Craig.

Granted, the cast pronounces it “yowie” instead of “yaoi,” and the accompanying Japanese text actually says “boys’ love,” but those are pretty minor points compared to some of the misunderstandings the characters leap into with both feet before the episode ends.ĭuring her presentation, class president Wendy describes yaoi as: So while the episode featured the inane logic of South Park’s citizens and resulting laughs fans expect, it was also filled with anime-style artwork depicting its two male characters who had become the darlings of the city’s amateur artist community.Īs the episode, titled “ Tweek x Craig,” opens, the children of South Park Elementary are gathered for an assembly to promote greater cultural awareness and appreciation. But every now and again the show’s focus swings around to Japanese culture, and the theme of its most recent episode was none other than yaoi/boys’ love, the anime subgenre of male homosexual romance that’s loved by legions of female fans.
