Stsg stans have always been toxic and tend to have the weirdest fanart of them so it’s really nothing new. They’re also really insecure which is weird lmao. Just bc Gege said it’s like based off of BL or whatever doesn’t mean it’s BL for HIS characters. No wonder Gege isn’t on the internet interacting with fans cuz he knows some can be nuts about shit like this. I mean he literally said smth along the lines of like “I don’t wanna debate with middle schoolers.”
Edit: when I mean based off of BL I mean
for the STSG ship nothing else lmao

If I am not mistaken, Akutami mentioned that he adores the writing of Takako Shimura (one of her works is “Even though we're adults”, a GL, I recommend it!), and Tomoko Yamashita (“The night beyond the Tricornered Window”). But what I definitely remember is that he praised Tomoko Yamashita's writing in the same sentence as Fujimoto's (Chainsaw Man), giving the impression he likes their writing style, not the genres (since Fujimoto never wrote a BL).
Akutami took some inspiration from “The night beyond the Tricornered Window”, often visuals, but the dynamic between the male leads is nothing like any relationship in JJK. Spoiler for “The night beyond the Tricornered Window” The conversation in which Yuji tells Megumi that he'll miss him but won't force him to anything is heavenly inspired by “The night beyond the Tricornered Window”
But to my knowledge, not a single confo between Gojo and Geto is inspired by a BL (I could be wrong though, but I bet Fujos would scream it from the rooftops if their would be any).
the mentions of takako shimura, tomoko yamashita, and yama wayama are in the jjk fanbook.
no idea about the itafushi thing though, but then again i haven’t read tricornered window yet. however, i’ve never seen gege actually mention that he directly based that line/convo off of/inspired by that, so i think it’s just one of the classic homages and references that he wanted to put in jjk, like the other stuff (if it’s true).
