The things I don’t even mind that a delinquent bottoms I’m just annoyed it’s automatically the default and it’s only done so because it’s “funny” and “cute” seeing a hypermasculine be emasculated. It has nothing to do with bottoming just being his preferred sexual position which a person’s appearance shouldn’t dictate, but somehow it’s become a trope because it solely fetishizes his submissiveness. There’s it’s own problems with this kind of portrayal but BL doesn’t have the nuance of gender politics to actual expand on bottom shaming and top praising that actually occurs in the male gay/bi community, just that it looks funny visually to readers and has a very shallow relationship with representing this discourse.
And the whole point is that it’s “funny” to see such a juxtaposition for most readers of this viewpoint. I just broke down the issues with it. You might not think much deeper than I’m just here to read cartoons fuck and that’s fine. But there are gender politics to this for actual queer people and our representation/ stories not just be fetishized objects for often cis heterosexual women. This genre and it’s cliches, tropes, and stereotypes don’t exist in a bubble, they bleed out.
I WANT THE DELINQUENT STILL BEING SEME. PLEASE I BEG U GOD
