@cedgehog: When we think of gay works in anime/manga culture, we usually think of Boy Love, but there’s another side we barely see talked about. Today we’re talking about Japanese gay manga, otherwise known as “Bara” in the West! #anime #manga

Yeah bara is pretty cool, It was born as a movement by gay men, against the majority of yaoi created by women. They considered yaoi to be more of an absurd romanticization and that it didn't reflect the reality of being gay. They also hated the feminization of bottoms. And the term "bara" was exclusive for works by gay men for gay men, it was not really necessary that the character needed to be bulky.

wasn't bara a term kind of reclaimed by Yukio Mishima?

If you liked "My brothers husband" I recommend "Sakana to mizu" and "I think my son might be gay" the first by the same author as MBH and the second by a Japanese gay artist who portrayed his own experiences in it!

afaik the only(?) explicitly Bara anime at the moment that I know is probably the Kuso Miso Technique OVA that came out last year for April fools. . And it probably only got adapted due to 2000s meme culture.

I have to admit, I read my brother's husband and our colors (both are published in France by a great publisher called Akata with lot of LGBT+ titles) and I was quite surprised when I recognized the author's name on his 'other' type of works lol

Replying to @Mymi Alcina this is the correct answer! Cushing syndrome can be mistaken for a mental health condition due to its wide range of symptoms that overlap with psychiatric disorders. Cushing syndrome occurs when the body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol for a prolonged period. This can be caused by prolonged use of corticosteroid medication or by tumors that produce cortisol or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Here are the key reasons why Cushing syndrome might be mistaken for a mental health condition: 1. Mood Changes: Cushing syndrome can cause significant mood swings, including irritability, anxiety, and depression. These mood disturbances are common in various mental health conditions, making it difficult to distinguish between the two without considering the physical symptoms and underlying causes. 2. Cognitive Impairment: Patients with Cushing syndrome may experience cognitive difficulties, such as problems with memory and concentration. These symptoms are also seen in conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, and other cognitive disorders. 3. Sleep Disturbances: Insomnia and other sleep-related issues are prevalent in individuals with Cushing syndrome. Sleep disturbances are a common symptom in many psychiatric disorders, such as depression and anxiety, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. 4. Fatigue and Lack of Energy: Chronic fatigue and a general lack of energy are common in Cushing syndrome and many mental health conditions, especially depression. 5. Changes in Appearance: Although not a mental health symptom, the physical changes associated with Cushing syndrome, such as weight gain (especially around the abdomen and face), thinning skin, and easy bruising, might not be immediately linked to an endocrine disorder. Patients may initially present to mental health professionals due to their psychological symptoms, leading to an initial focus on mental health rather than a thorough physical examination. Because of these overlapping symptoms, people presenting with mental health symptoms should see a doctor to conduct a comprehensive assessment, including medical history, physical examination, and appropriate laboratory tests, to distinguish between physical and primary psychiatric disorders.  #cushingsyndrome #cortisol #depressionanxiety #MentalHealth #psychiatry #paychiatrist
