the most annoying part about it. is when you try to tell them that there’s a reason why the tag or genre says dark romance their angry about it?????? and sometimes the author actually says the story includes grapes, @buse and manipulation and then call them weird or freak honestly their the weird one for watching/ reading it when the cover literally says it like gurl use your eyesssss!!!!!!

"Atp I hope BL gets even more explicit, darker and morally fucked up just to drive the puritanical wing of the yaoi fandom out. I'm so sick of these self appointed morality police harassing authors and demanding an entire genre cater to their personal comfort levels." So real because everytime I read comments of the BLs which are obviously meant to be dark and fucked up, I have to think of this. We have 2026 and there is MASSES in BL media. There's probably so much enough to keep you entertained for 10+ years, without adding all the new ones which will release in those 10 years. Yes it's true there is a lot of rape in BL, BUT you're genuinely lying to yourself if you say there aren't enough green flags. There isn't enough fluff. That's a lie. I read both and there's tons of it. Go read that instead but STOP bitching and harrassing real people over your moral highground policing bullshit. It's the same with that AO3 situation, where newgens were complaining about fucked up fics they saw. Honey there is NO algorythm here. You're reading all the dark shit because you're actively searching for it and then you act surprised. Fork found in kitchen. There's descriptions, tags, comments, preview pictures you can check out prior. Gtfo. My best friend only reads green flags, maybe yellow flags at best and she knows I read red and black flag stories, and we both aren't bitching at each other about it. If she sees a story is about something she doesn't like, she doesn't keep fucking reading it. Mwah have a good day
