Believe it or not, offensive American cartoon South Park has an international following, managing over 10,000 tagged pictures on Japanese art portal Pixiv, plenty of which are yaoi and/or R-18 rated. Well, senpai noticed, and season 19, episode 6, "Tweek x Craig" not only addressed the subject, it actively solicited yaoi fan art to be included in the October 28th broadcast. 

We have been getting to know some of the Asian girls who have introduced us to a art style called 'YAOI'. pic.twitter.com/F4wrSMyCOd

The art tries to show that all love is magical, like in Lisa Akimoto's piece 'Tweek and Craig: Forbidden Love" #TweekXCraig

No, I mean like what makes the Asians decide who they're gonna make gay? #TweekxCraig

I'm sorry, I don't speak Asian, but uh-- OH! Uh, YA-YAOI. YAOI yes? Boyzu Love-u. How does that work? #TweekXCraig

Tee hee hee! Aw come on, let's be like Tweek and Craig! Everyone thinks they're cool! #SouthPark

You know a lot of people think that Asians decide who's gay and who's not. But it isn't all Asians, it's JUST specifically the Japanese, ok?
