Tongpu: Just a question Re: "Pointed Ears... or it could be done to up the Ho Yay factor"
I don't get it. What do pointed ears have to do with homosexuality?

{{Earnest}}: It's because character who have pointed ears are either an elf or an anime character. Of course, since both are slight, always beautiful and frequently [[{{Bishonen}} very pretty even if they're men]], the stereotype is that they're gay/bi. The "boys love" aspect of anime certainly doesn't help.
