It’s Important To Write Down The Context To Ideas

I have a notes app on my phone that I use to jot down comic/art ideas as they come to me. A lot of it is mostly for ideas I get during the season that aren’t time-sensitive or need to be workshopped. Many of them get held off on so that I can bring it up during the offseason as ways to help with the slower news weeks. Sometimes I forget to write enough context to the idea that I just end up confused.
This was an actual note in my phone.
I don’t know where I was going with it.
Discuss. Is sports straight man Yaoi? If you need to google Yaoi, I suggest you not do so at work.
No, but Fantasy Football is definitely male fan fiction
You should make a comic reacting to Tom Grossi’s $Million stream he did this week, because that was an experience to be a part of
You guys ever see the “Football America Jesus” song on youtube?
Yes. The straight men in my office talk about sports in the same way that my fujoshi friends talk about yaoi.
You wrote it ’cause it’s true. Look up The Ringer’s Quarterback Commitment Index for examples.
Thank you for making my hate for anime stronger Dave. I wish i didn’t google that. my eyes will never recover from the amount of bleach i pumped in there.
Hasn’t there always been a undercurrent of that? How the hyper-masculinity loops around to vague homoeroticism because Football is looked at almost entirely through the male gaze?
Listen to the way prospects are evaluated at the combine. Listen to the way announcers describe the way players move. Listen to the way guys’ love and reverence for their favorite athletes leads to a sort of Bizzaroverse Bechdel Test.
It’s not Yaoi because, like in a good love triangle, the boys have to kiss, but….well….
I do NOT want to know what Dave was looking at online when he got that idea.
As a fujoshi and football fan, I approve of this comic.
I mean, you got headlines like this: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/aidan-hutchinson-myles-garrett-and-i-have-talked-about-what-could-be
“OH KELCE-SAMA! Your brother Travis-chan is going out with MAGICAL GIRL TAYLOR, ~NYAAAAAAA!~”
“Someone call my Mahomie! We have to get him back KANSASLAND before the show or the POWER EAGLES will win by DEFAULT!”
-Excerpt from “My Person Hell in Middle America when The Chiefs Tried to Threepeat (Epilepsy Warning Episode).”
I can only assume this derives from the time you drew yaoi of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. No I haven’t forgotten
I have no idea what this is about and I refuse to google.
I never Googled two girls one cup and I won’t google this….
Yaoi is anime gay porn for those who don’t know. It’s generally pandering to a female audience as the male characters have deeply emotional relationships. Lots of slim guys with long hair taking showers and having feelings for each other.
I guess the joke might be that football is something that men get deeply emotional about and we get invested in these handsome young men who play the game, but not in a gay way?
>I don’t know where I was going with it.
What ever do you mean? That’s it. Concept finished. You don’t need to go anywhere with it.
No idea what that is and I’m not going to google it and have it wind up on my algorithm.
