Episode 28: FANTIS, PART TWO

The 8OH1 Podcast

It’s FANTI, Part 2: Electric Bigotry! The hosts of BL Garden sit down with Aeri and Cristal Marie to continue the FANTI panel from FujoCon 2021. We answer attendee-submitted questions and discuss the need for preservation of marginalized creator texts and BL academia translation projects, how to protect yourself in fandom, racism in “pro-ship” and general fandom communities, and Fujoshi Law School™.

Aeri is a scholar turned erotic fiction author. They are the creator of the BL Fan Project, an interview project that documents the voices and experiences of Boys’ Love fans across the world.

Cristal Marie is the co-founder of Beyond the Bot and the host of CrunchyRoll’s CrunchyCast. She is the Director of Development of The New Historia and their Boys’ Love origins and ongoing media database and preservation effort The BLOOM Initiative.

Next week, BL Garden Patrons get access to additional audio where our hosts delve into deeper (and spicier!) discussion. Join our Patreon and gain access to behind-the-scenes perks, advanced FujoCon announcements, game nights, and more!
