Because of the white eyelashes and violet eyes.
It kinda turns me off that the woman is extremely pale but the guy can be tan. Just reinforces gender stereotypes kinda
Hng.. but tanned beast look so HANDSOME tho. And it kinda reflect their homeland. They lived in a desert so we can't expect the beast to have pale white skin, no? And in Asia long ago have the stereotypes that people with tanned skin work the hardest. Hehe maybe dats all from me. Tell me ur opinion too! Tata
Blaze out - not exactly rich but also rich yk? as in doesn't show off, plus kinda enemies to lovers

Before, I sorta didn’t mind that rape often happens in Yaoi bc it sorta anyways happens in straight smut. But I also feel bad how gay ppl must feel that we romanticize rape of bl characters. It’s just uncommon for yaoi to make it natural to lead up to it so authors use rape as an excuse to maybe strangers/friends who’ve been platonic for a long time suddenly change their dynamic
this was answered by op already, but the post is talking about how it’s a common and almost unavoidable event in yaoi and they became used to it… not that it should continue or be okay? the main focus was how op feels bad that for bl there’s barely normal and lighthearted romance compared to straight romances. because yaoi authors for some reason decide to randomly throw SA in sooner or later
it was a good critique on the state of bl, but you kinda jumped the gun there
oh bud just keep scrolling thru the Yaoi category, you'll find consensual soon enough. i think noncon is only about half the stuff in the genre, noncon kissing/touching included. which is still an uncomfortable phenomenon, but my point is that there's plenty of BL that's not like that out there. a lot of it is slowburn tho so u could easily just check the Shounen Ai category.
my faves are I Ship My Rival x Me and Monster and the Beast (altho sorry that one starts w a sex scene that was initally consensual but turned into rape)
there was good intent to this but in yaoi, rape and sa is prevalent!! it’s not that consent doesn’t exist within it, it’s that this trope is seeped in most of them
you’re right about shounen ai, but it’s a different genre of bl not yaoi. also i laughed at your disclaimer at the end of your recommendation, you too couldn’t escape your fav from having sa
there is bl without sa in it you just have to actually look for it, like with any other type of romance. of course you might become desensitized to some things in stories or lower your standards so you can read something, im guilty of that too, but i don't think we should let authors of bl and otehr romance get away with using sa as a device
Title
i can’t lie i can’t even think of any yaoi with no sa or rape which is honestly sad
• within your frame
• home
• black blood (this story is a big green flag the couple talk about their feelings and it's really good you must get used to the artstyle tho)
• 1 to 10
• our sunny days (my fav from this list it's really cute 1000000/10 I totally recommend sweet couple + cute baby)
right... they're so far and few in between it's truly sad!
