I get what are saying but also I think that sort of thing can be chalked up to personal preference
there are plenty of authors that draw different body types for different roles. Like it's not at all uncommon to have beefy/more muscular/taller bottoms in the genre, I think largely mangakas are drawing what they personally find hot or appealing rather than simply prescribing to labels. If that makes sense.???
Idk man if you've been in the yaoi space long enough, you'd know how these types of tropes have been prevalent for so long. Though I must say, as the years passed, we got more different body types from new authors.
Exactly! And it depends on the readers too. In my opinion there's something for everybody in the BL world.
I don’t disagree remotely. However, in this one instance, I think we can attribute at least a little to their animal characteristics. Probably?
If we go by that logic, aren't most male horses naturally well hung? Then, it would make sense for the horse beastman mc to have a big dick, but by the looks of it he got a thin bendable lightstick.
But sometimes the uke, seme dichotomy is so tiresome like even to the point that certain physical features are associated with a certain label. Like in here, the love interests nips are flat (in some mangas they are even non existent) but the mcs are out and plump like huh? Same goes for smol dicks often assigned to those who bottom and big dicks to those who top. I really wish authors were more diverse with how they draw bodies man and stop associating certain body features with annoying neko/tachi labels.
