‘South Park’ to Tackle Elementary-Age Gay Crushes

It appears South Park is going to address two elementary-age boys liking each other — or at least the rumor that they do — in Wednesday’s episode.

In the sixth episode of the 19 season, titled “Tweek x Craig,” news of the boys possible relationship makes its way around the school while students draw the pair as “yaoi” characters, according to Comedy Central.

Yaoi is a Japanese genre of anime depicting gay men. The show has invited yaoi artists to submit their work to possibly be featured on the show.

An old character is also being brought back for the episode — Cupid Me, the god of love as imagined by Cartman. The character last appeared in 2012’s “Cartman Finds Love.”
