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 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.
