So... Bara. Not what it sounds like.

Body full of fluff, head full of stuff.
Y'know, I'm going to bring up a semi-intelligent discussion here.
So y'all know I'm a lesbian, that's common knowledge if you've known me for even 5 minutes. But I have this weird fascination with "bara culture". Quite frankly, I find it fucking hilarious. A friend of mine brought up that because I'm gay, and not turned on by the male figure, especially not ones with cartoonish muscles, it makes it an ironic love.
Ok, I'm going to put this out there. I'm a gigantic Jojo nerd. I've loved it for over a year now. I watch each episode religiously. The men in that show/manga are... Not thin or short. They're big, muscle-bound men and the whole series is extremely homoerotic in ways. Hell, I ship Joseph and Caesar (RIP Caesar, you magnificent bubble man).
I like to show my friends bara art I find, mainly for their reactions. It's funny when I hear "What the fuck, Quinn?!". It's almost shock humor at this point. But I've taken what my friend said into consideration. I can totally see where he's coming from. I don't find the male body attractive in the slightest, and to see it blown out of proportion (pun intended), drives it down the road of being so bizarre that it becomes funny. It's beyond realistic.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is, sometimes things that aren't the typical idea of "funny" become that. I mean, think of Yaoi hands. Nobody's got hands the size of their torso, and a lot of people laugh at it. I'm sorry if you actually like the bara scene and this makes you think I'm making fun of you. I'm totally not. Remember, I'm someone who purposely sits herself down and watches bad movies for the hell of it. And not "The room" kind of bad, although I've seen it and it's great (Belly button fucking. I mean, come on). No, I watch shit like I.Frankenstein for laughs. You do you. Enjoy what you like and don't let anyone tell you it's stupid. I'm very much against the "guilty pleasure" ideology because people should embrace the stupid shit they like.
But man, I can't help but laugh when I see the Sun/Moon starters pulling Jojo poses. Comedic gold.
