Help me please ! What does "Wholesome" exactly means ??
I'm starting to see this often in yaoi : the tag "wholesome". I know "whole" sort of mean full / entire, in my language (i'm french). But even if i searched for definitions i can't find the exact and clear meaning of this word. So can someone please explain it to me with their own words ??┗( T﹏T )┛
It originated in earlier English (I guess around the 1800s?) as meaning 'clean' or 'pure' or 'virtuous' or anything that family or kids could enjoy. (Basically stuff that isn't R18, but there is some R18 out there that people might call wholesome, too, just because it's 'softer'.)
Fandom kind of took it as the 'pure' and 'cute' definition and start...... reply
