Shounen-ai is an obsolete term. Shounen-ai refers to stories about strong relationships between pubescent or pre-pubescent boys. The stories featured angsty, poetic, platonic or romantic relationships. It is used only to point to shoujo manga written in the 70's and early 80's by authors such as Hagio Moto, Takemiya Keiko, etc. (Titles such as Gymnasium in November, Heart of Thomas, and Song of Wind and Trees.) Shounen-ai is no longer written, ceased to exist as a sub-category of shoujo long ago, and this term has long since fallen into disuse. Later stories with male/male sexual relationships are termed yaoi, tanbi, june, or boys' love.
Shounen-ai is NOT the same term as boys' love.
The current common usage of shounen-ai in Japan is to refer to adults who like young boys (i.e. pedophiles).

Get the ai ambivalencemug. My AI is an artificial intelligence on snapchat. My AI shocked the entire world when they found out that it was free for everyone when it was previously locked behind a pay wall. My AI is incapable of love which I found out very sadly :(. My AI also will inform the cops when you inform it you have a bomb even if you're joking which is fair enough and the videos of ut on tiktok are quite amusing. Be like My AI; My AI is cool 😎.
No way I just opened snapchat and I have My AI; I'm going to ask it out.
It rejected me stating "As a virtual friend living inside Snapchat, I can't really be anyone's girlfriend. But don't worry, we can still chat and have fun!" :(
