More specifically, the sister was expecting to be in a gay bar surrounded by twinks and very excited at the prospect, but all of her hopes and dreams were crushed under the combined weight of a barful of large, hairy men.
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)
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.
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.
I have no idea what most of this means.
Obviously I get why you wouldn’t want to bring your sister to a bar with bears, they’ll smell the menstruation, but I don’t get the rest.
a bear is a gay man that is the opposite of a twink, a large hairy man. The sister would love to be in a space with twinks, but not bears.
So fujoshis are just female yaoi gooners?
My new band’s name. We’re all bears.
More or less yeah

Now, I’ve heard that speed has something to do with it.
Isn’t this also a play on the “I choose the bear” thing where men are all essentially called “potential rapists”?
I don’t believe so but I could be wrong

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

a high metabolism helps, but yeah that shit is a skill of its own
I’ve heard that yaoi was more meant for the female audience, and bara for a male audience., but there are probably different interpretations.

“Guys” and “females”, huh.
