I'm sure he'd find it harder than he could ever imagine. Of course, there are some funny things I've learned, running anime clubs off and on for the past six or seven years... a lot of yaoi-friendly shows get written off within the first episode by people who've never heard of them before and have never heard of yaoi just because they're not in tune with the style of characters and the sort of interpersonal dynamics that show up. It's like, they don't know what they're looking at because it doesn't instinctively make sense. But then, most of the time if I give them a running narration of what connections the show is establishing and make leading hints about how it's going to lead to something badass later all through the first episode or two, they're totally into it. Go figure. (It's even working to get them through Prince of Tennis -- with the side effect that Fuji is everyone's favorite character ^_^ ).
