Haha, yes, but at the same time, since these stories are written by women, they give men the opportunity to explore their emotions as they really should be explored. They're written as characters with complex emotions would be, and are in reality, characters who recognize these complexities in their personalities and don't hide them or let them explode into violence, which is the only kind of emotion a man can consider appropriate in today's society.
I think this is also the main appeal and why so many women like BL. Besides taking women out of the romantic equation and seeing them sexualized, we see men with complex emotions navigating their lives as they should in reality, and we also see the huge dicks, perfect bodies, and heights that we all want
Woah. Yknow what, this is lowkey a precise explanation. Well said
i thought we woman are the complicated ones. These mf are way worse.
