10 Second Anime - Genshiken Nidaime - Episode 8

Genshiken Nidaime - Episode 8

Even among fellow otaku, there's not a lot of cross-genre appreciation, especially between eroge fetishes. There is some agreement though: BL characters also end up pregnant in the true pair routes...

You want your justification that porno games are just fantasy? Yes, male characters end up pregnant in Japanese homoerotic manga and games. I did not know this. My mind has been blown wide open. This was just one thing I learned in a wide ranging conversation between Hato the cross-dresser and Madarame the salaryman, graduated member of Genshiken.

Hato's crossdressing seems more akin to possession than split personality, as the girl personality he takes on haunts him when he's dressed as a boy. Very like many of the stories in the fantasy genre of Japanese media, but then those haunting spirits are usually fairies, familiars, local deities, or magical creatures, not fujoshi (rotten girls).

I also like how Madarame goes into galge mode when he thinks he's talking to a pretty girl, and he has to keep reminding himself that Hato is a man, a man, remember he's a man!
