a few reasons. better story lines, better artwork, better character development. at least that's what i see between the two
The answer is simple. Most romance readers are hetero girls, and hetero girls enjoy looking at hot men more than looking at hot women
are you watching xander corvus's porn videos?
Because people for some reason think GL is made exclusively by men for men, so they think any GL is just fetishised crap for the male gaze even though it's not true and likely just stay away from the genre as a whole.
This too, I agree lmao.
Because more women like BL rather than GL.
It comes from the fact that women can be in a story that doesn't put a spotlight on them if that makes sense.
From what I heard:
BL offers a safe, often male-centric fantasy for straight female viewers, tapping into established tropes, whereas GL narratives, though vital for queer women, face systemic challenges in mainstream acceptance and production, despite recent booms.
Though some theories suggest internalized misogyny or cultural comfort with male-focused narratives makes BL more appealing to women than centering women's love stories. (According to Google)
But in essence, BL's broader appeal stems from its massive female heterosexual audience simply seeking romantic male-male narratives, while GL's focus on authentic lesbian narratives caters to a smaller but growing audience, carving out its own significant space in queer media.
You actually summed it up perfectly.
i read a lot
Simple because of misogyny
Hahaha
Becaise most romance readers are girls.
BL readers usually consist of gay men, straight girls and lesbians.
Meanwhile, GL is mostly only read by just lesbians. Gay men are not as interest in girls in relationships. Straight girls mostly prefer BL bc they're more interested in guys. In general, a lot of Lesbians and queer girls like reading BL despite not being into men.
It’s cause people love reading weird toxic shit and that is more the case in bl aka men and I think straight girl especially find reading gl just boring and not spicy enough and I think straight men usually don’t read smut they rather watch it aka mainstream porn rather than reading gl so the only true audience are lesbians who are genuinely interested in reading gl rather for only smut purposes like staright women and men and gay men usually don’t give ahhhh f about lesbian since their media is more dominant and cause women duhhhhh imtahts just my opinion
why are we lying, there‘s so much yaoi slop too and this is coming from sb that prefers yaoi
there's slob in all over the place not just yaoi and yuri
i wish i could throw tomatoes are your fucking face worst take ever you don’t read yuri forreal cause wtf
90% of BL is about a Twink in debt or a beefy gym rat pushover getting molested by a big daddy Alpha. Before you talk shit about a genre look at what half of the shit you consume or the amount of dog shit released a year.
I've always wondered why?
