@nosleep reminded me of a story back from 7th grade. I was attending programming courses provided for free by $BIG_ENTERPRISE and there was a guy with "I ❤️ YAOI" pin on his backpack sitting close to me. didn't ask him about it, though I did think it was kinda brave to come out like that in russia. one day I came to the auditorium early and found him desperately searching for something, we had the following dialogue:- What's up? What are you searching for?- The yaoi pin I had on my backpack seems to have fallen somewhere...- Oh? Well, if you need a new one, I saw the same ones in the anime merch store 2 metro stations from here.- Yeah, but this one was given to me by my girlfriend.- ...Excuse me?
