AI Summary
5 min read“This is the exact type of dumb shit,” says Kate Sanchez, “but I need our beloved audience to understand that I say dumb shit with like the most complimentary of tones. Like it's when you see like a fat dumb animal and you're just like, oh my god, I love him. He's so fat and dumb.” She is talking about Priapus by Mentiko, a Bara (gay erotic manga featuring larger, more muscular men) that the podcast Yaoi is covering this week. Co-host Matthew Glenn chose it, and Kate is delighted. The premise is that Zeus—depicted here as a twink—has had enough of humanity and decides to end reproduction by making all men gay. His agent is Priapus, the fertility god, whose body is the conversion tool. The result is a series of short, self-contained smut vignettes that are, by design, unserious, horny, and surprisingly sweet.

Zeus has had enough of man's inhumanity to man and decided that humanity has had a good run, but it’s time to end things. Of course, it’d be downright hypocritical to deliver his divine wrath by the same violent means he despises the human race for. He has something more humane in mind: Prevent them from reproducing by turning all the men of the species gay! And there’s no better man for the job than Priapus, the fertility god with a package that’ll make anyone a believer!
