- ALT1: ... that the yaoi hole is associated with depictions of anal sex in homoerotic romance fiction that would seem to defy typical anatomy and physiology? Source: 1
- ALT2: ... that the yaoi hole has been considered as reflecting a lack of understanding about male anatomy and anal sex possessed by the mostly female writers of early yaoi? Source: Shion, Miura; Junko, Kaneda (2007). 『ユリイカ』（Eureka）2007年6月臨時増刊号 総特集=腐女子マンガ大系

- Comment: A truly unique article about a weird bit of internet culture. Article has a free image, but I imagine it's not suitable for the main page.
Moved to mainspace by 狄の用務員 (talk) and Morgan695 (talk). Nominated by Morgan695 (talk) at 07:19, 29 January 2023 (UTC). Note: As of October 2022, all changes made to promoted hooks will be logged by a bot. The log for this nomination can be found at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Yaoi hole, so please watch a successfully closed nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The article is new enough, having just recently being moved from draftspace, is long enough, and within policy. Although I think ALT 2 is just as interesting and quite factual, I believe that hooks are supposed to attract as many people as possible to an article, and the "age of hole discovery" will definitely do that. The hook is within the character limit, and exists within the article, with the proper citation, and QPQ is done. Although the source itself is a Japanese offline one, given Morgan's track record, I'll assume good faith. As for the image, Wikipedia is not censored, so I'm not sure appearing on the main page would be a huge problem, but it's honestly better if it's absent. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 13:26, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
