2.5 Dimensional Stage Fans - Meetup

FRIDAY 6.11 | 10:30PM - 11:30PM | Discord

This is a meet up for 2.5 dimensional stage fans. Let’s talk about favorite stages and titles!

2.5 Stage—Anime, Video Games, and Live Action, Oh My!—When Animation Makes It To The Stage

FRIDAY 6.11 | 5:30PM - 6:30PM | The Outfield [Zoom 2] | 🍆

Hosted by Alternatewarning (He / Him), Bridge (She / Her)

“Live Action” and “Anime” don't sound like words that should be in the same sentence, as some Netflix specials have shown. However, what if it wasn't so awful? Welcome to 2.5D, where adapting anime, video games, manga, and even mobile games actually improves the franchise instead of making it a laughing stock. Popular idol-raising mobile game Ensemble Stars has 9 unique plays and Prince of Tennis has been going strong since 2003. (As a bonus for the fujo in all of us, 2.5D tends to lean heavy on the BL fanservice). We'll discuss how to watch these plays, how to get invested in the fandom, and how much your wallet will immediately regret the previous two suggestions. Even if you don't think it could be a live action, it's probably in 2.5D.

3D BL: The Commodification of Real Person Slash

FRIDAY 6.11 | 12:30PM - 1:30PM | The Stadium [Zoom 1] | 🍆

BL Desam: Boys Love Fandom in the Subcontinent

FRIDAY 6.11 | 4:00PM - 5:00PM | The Stadium [Zoom 1] | 👑🎥

Hosted by Lakshmi Menon (She / Her)

This presentation intends to trace how India’s BL fans have exponentially grown in number and visibility in the past couple of years. How much does this owe to the burgeoning popularity of live action BL series—especially during the 2020 lockdown—and what does this mean for a country of over a billion people who are still very reticent to discuss matters of sexuality? The presentation will look at three aspects of India’s BL fans—firstly, the way the 2020 pandemic has affected BL fandoms in India; secondly, the way that Indian fans participate in BL fan spaces; and thirdly, the way that BL media has formed a gateway for young Indians to negotiate and explore LGBTQ+ spaces.

SATURDAY 6.12 | 12:30PM - 1:30PM | The Outfield [Zoom 2] | 🍆👑🎥

Hosted by Lori Morimoto (She / Her)

Was it a kiss? Wasn't it? This presentation explores the inter-fandom debates that occurred after the fateful meeting of Yuri and Victor's… noses? lips? in episode 7 of Yuri!!! on Ice, in which some bemoaned the scene's (and show's) apparent queerbaiting, and others pointed to a long history of implied romance in Japanese anime as the reason we only saw so much with our own eyes. We'll consider that debate, and others like it, in terms of transcultural fandom “contact zones”—online spaces where fans from varying cultural—and FAN cultural—contexts “meet, clash, and grapple” over meaning, media, and fandom.
