The trope is about gay guys be used as fanservice for girls. All I see are two guys who are probably gay; the second half isn't even implied in the caption. I'm sure there are fifty million pics of guys being hot and heavy together while nearby girls squee.

Here's the current one:

Mmm... is that new shampoo I smell?

Must find something from Seitokai No Ichizon... Nakameguro and Ken Imagine Spot give me a few to take screens when I get home.

EDIT: or this I saw on a site earlier.

They all kind of look like girls, though.

Yeah, that was my reaction to that one too. Way too vague.

Yaoi Guys reference they will be Bishōnen and damn pretty. The Uke will more than likely be girly or a keet.

Something like [1] but maybe with girls ogling instead of the guy Imagine Spotting Squick at the Imagine Spot maybe hmm still GIS hunting.

If you insist on using a picture with Japanese pretty boys, they're always going to be indistinguishable from girls.

Being in a Japanese-produced work is not enough of a difference to warrant its own trope.

[up][up][up] That looks way too shotacon for me to be comfortable having it as a page image.

[up] That's Yaoi Fangirl. Not gay men being used for fanservice. Wrong trope entirely.

I've seen a lot of this stuff, but even I think the Sukisyo example looks like a guy and a girl. The chest of the one is covered, so at first glance people might think the same.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I tried looking for a good shot with a girl watching but couldn't find one.

As an avid reader of BL (especially of characters that obviously look male, I don't like shota and moe girly-looking guys) I should be helpful with this but...I totally can't think of a specific picture that would be good for this. I'll see what I can do, though.
