They are just self-published works, nothing more. Yes, some are NSFW, but is it different to self-published stories elsewhere? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doujinshi

The ask was for examples to niche content.

The world of doujinshis is a subculture, and therefore a niche. No value judgment made, but it's kinda similar to asking for a niche art style and getting upset when someone says "pixel art" in a world of live action and photorealistic CGI.

I'm just like, "do you want niche, or taboo? It's already niche."
