I'm not very familiar with anime terminology, so forgive me ignorance.

Yaoi is boy love content.. right? We talk about a female version of a male historical person.

... How do those two fit together? Is it still yaoi if the referenced char is male?

... Or is this just a joke and I am too dense?

Oh!! .. Is that the assumed aspect when historic figures are pictured as anime girls?

I always assumed it's just some quirky "ignore history and put potential waifu into anime" thing...

It's actually all of that
