It didn't originate from a yaoi. It originated from fanfics and hetero romance tropes. Y/N means "your name" and originated from fanfic writers using it as a placeholder for self-insert fics. the CEO archetype originated from hetero romance stories. At some point, these two concepts were put together as a meme on social media and became more popular after the meme was illustrated. I'm not sure abt the meme pic and who drew it tho, nor do i know abt what the og meme pic was, there's a lot of variations of it now

i know this is gonna sound weird,but i am curious. u guys know that famous meme "mr.ceo and y/n" with the stupid proportion of 90's yaoi, is that even a yaoi? does anyone know the title ?
