 As Internet resources for gay men developed in the 1990s, the "yaoi" debate waned but occasionally resurfaced; for example, when Mizoguchi in 2003 characterized stereotypes in modern BL as being "unrealistic and homophobic".There has been similar criticism to the Japanese "yaoi" debate in the English-speaking fandom.In 1993 and 2004, Rachel Thorn pointed to the complexity of these phenomena, and suggested that "yaoi" and slash fiction fans are discontented with "the standards of femininity to which they are expected to adhere and a social environment that does not validate or sympathize with that discontent".
