maybe because a lot of readers still see them as men first. the femininity that comes with twink or fem bottoms doesn’t fit the fantasy they’re looking for. a lot of people fetishize buff, masculine gay bottoms because it satisfies the fantasy of seeing “real men” being vulnerable with each other, something they don’t usually associate with straight men. so when a bottom looks more feminine, it starts feeling too close to a straight dynamic in their eyes, which kind of defeats the fantasy they’re chasing.
i don’t think people hate them, i just think some people view ‘real’ yaoi or, even gay relationships, as something that leaves no room for femininity in the slightest. which is kinda proven by the point of many yaoi fans (esp on tiktok) equating ‘real’ men to buff men. which i find to be a very weird mix of homophobia, misogyny, and objectification of gay men.
i mean me personally I think teenage girls are starting to believe that buff man = average man
It's actually so fucking stupid but it's also a trend to obsess and simp over buff men (the bottoms) cause apparently they have boobs...what? It's a fetish atp, people need to open their eyes, feminine men exist, and they've existed before power bottoms in yaoi
And yeah it is sexism, people see a pretty bottom and their minds automatically think WEAK
low key misogyny as well if you think about it
The funny part is, people be glazing some buff bottoms when they're the most stupidest mcs of all time

Genuine question
Why do ppl on tiktok hate fem bottoms ? I dont mean the TWINKY baby looking dumb young alien bottoms no i mean the bottoms that DONT look that masculine yk ? I like all types of bottoms but im js wondering
