Good evening (it's evening where I am as I write this).

I've spent the past month or so thinking about the use of the F-slur in MM romance. The following video is the output of that work -- about 40 minutes of somewhat freeform discussion on the topic referencing some scholarship and some works of fiction and a lot from my life.
