I remember getting excited watching Italian Hercules movies and Hollywood science fiction films like the [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968 original Planet of the Apes]]. I liked the scene where Creator/CharltonHeston was ordered to take his stinky human clothes off in front of the ape's assembly, then dragged by a leather collar."'' |

| 7 | Gengoroh Tagame (1964- ) is a prolific gay Japanese manga artist. Tagame is considered to be one of the pioneers of the BaraGenre as his works feature [[ManlyGay very masculine and muscled men]] chock-full of MaleGaze in stark contrast to the typical willowy {{yaoi|Genre}} aesthetic. The content of his adult manga can be ''very'' dark as well as containing fetish material such as [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} sadomasochism]] and [[GratuitousRape sexual assault]]. He is seen as the Japanese analog to Creator/TomOfFinland, who illustrates men in a similar aesthetic. |
