 //“I saw Japanese twitter users recommending The Lighthouse (2019) as Boy’s Love.”//

+**SEME/UKE RIBA/FIXED**
+**攻め/受け リバ/固定**
+Japanese nerd slang for sexual positions.
+“Seme” = “Top”.  The peg.  Could be pp or fingers.
+“Uke” = “Bottom”.  The hole.
+“Riba” = “Reversible”.  Compare to English “versatile”.
+“Fixed” = No riba.  Compare to English “stone top”.
+Seme and uke come from Japanese martial arts terms for “attacker” and “receiver”.  Just like in English-language media, tops can be stereotyped as dominant macho giants, and bottoms as submissive gooey eyed shrimps.  But there is a sizeable fanbase for subverting the stereotypes too!  That’s where you find the good shit.
+Old-fashioned fujos may adhere to Seme x Uke name order, like “JesseWalter”.  Compare to western BDSM “Dom/sub” name order.
+//“I love old man uke being disappointed in their tiny crappy pigeon-chested seme.”//

+**Landmine / 地雷**
+(noun) East Asian nerd slang for strongly disliked pairings and tropes.  Compare to English nerd terms “NOTP” or “squick”.
+In English spaces, most pairings are considered reversible by default.  But in many Asian spaces, one’s top or bottom preference can be a landmine.  This may be related to Asian gender roles, especially towards women who are expected to be submissive and bottom and pump out babies.  Source: dude trust me I’m Asian.
+Tagging for story beats and kinks has a well-formed culture in English spaces.  Similarly, tagging for different ship order helps fujos find kinks and stories that they can mutually enjoy.
+//“I love being able to search DickBruce on Tumblr to avoid my bottom-twink landmine, and find more art of big beautiful power bottoms.”//
 ==== Page 7 ====
+**Yuri / 百合**
+//“This too is yuri.”//
+“Lily” - Girl-on-girl lesbian media.  Fans may self-identify as“himejoshi”, “himedanshi”, or just plain ol’ yuri fans.  Comes from the “Barazoku” gay magazine, naming their female readers “Yurizoku”.  We love gay and lesbian solidarity!
+**Gei komi / ゲイコミ**
+//“It’s just gay comics.”//
+Gay comics targeted to gay men.  Outside of Japan, the perjorative “bara” (literally rose, equivalent to English pejorative “pansy”) may be used for big hairy gay art - BUT this can be offensive.  Just call them gay manga if you’re not a gay Japanese man.
+**Yume / 夢**
+//“Don’t yume MY waifu.”//
+English fandom shortening of “yumejoshi”, a dreaming girl.  A fan who dreams about interacting with their favorite character, usually romantically.  Some “non-sharing” yume will block you if you ship yourself or another character with their fave.  Compare to English fandom “self-shipper”, “oc x canon”.
