The episode parodies the slash fiction genre of yaoi art and the acceptance of the gay community, while continuing its season-long lampoon of political correctness.
The pictures shown are all manga-style drawings of Tweek and Craig engaged in homoerotic and homosexual activity, and the gang is confused at this.
As Thomas turns to alcohol, Randy tells him that he has no control over whether or not Craig is gay: it is the Japanese who make those decisions and they even got away with "raping Don King"; at the same time, Kyle explains to Stan and several other students what yaoi really is: an art form "created by girls for girls" as a perverse way to make men seem attractive.
Craig becomes massively unpopular, with yaoi artists getting even more inspired by Tweek's heartbreak and the town's residents becoming severely depressed.
Thomas becomes willing to accept his son's sexuality thanks to a love arrow shot by Cupid Me, and encourages Craig to be gay and gives him money.
Tweek and Craig make amends and begin holding hands together in public and playing games together, bringing joy back to the town.
