i love size difference BL as much as the next guy, but this habit drives me up the fucking wall. the seme will be huge compared to the uke, which is all well and good, but then the uke will also be… huge compared to a woman??? it’s like, a bit ridiculous tbh. women aren’t all tiny dainty little creatures. it just rubs me the wrong way, feels very misogynistic. especially because i don’t think it’s realistic.
let’s take manhwa for example: if we are to take the average height of a seme to be like 6’2 and the average height difference with an uke to be like 7 inches, that puts the uke at around 5’7 (never mind that the average height of men in korea is 5’9). the AVERAGE height of women in korea is 5’4. and if the height difference between the uke and seme is greater, that would put him even lower. even a smaller uke should really not be towering over women like that.
it just feels like “he’s smaller, submissive and/or fem bottom but he’s STILL a man, he’s not as tiny and dainty and delicate as a REAL woman” who, mind you, we are supposed to believe all the other straight men the seme’s size are going for.
just my own personal pet peeve, i think you can just let an uke have a similar size and stature to the women around him. it’s okay. we know he’s a man we’ve seen his dick
I meant to like your comment i'm sorry
omg yes it pmo sm every time they do that it's so stupid
just a couple things I’ve noticed in manga/manhwa, and i was wondering if someone with more cultural insight could shed some light on it
1. why do characters often seem to shower *before* sex? i guess it makes sense for the bottom, but often both top and bottom will shower before sex, then fuck and get all dirty, then shower AGAIN. i feel like this is so weird? what is the obsession with being clean before sex? i think it’s normal to just go at it without showering and maybe shower after if you feel gross? some people are even into sex specifically after someone has sweat or worked out (big thing in the gay community especially, which is why it’s so surprising in BL, tho ig some BL is written by people who don’t research the community well)
2. it seems like there is not much of a reduce/reuse/recycle mindset in these cultures, especially in korea? often times a character will talk about just throwing stuff away, even brand new clothing inside a package that they don’t want, and i really don’t why? it’s so wasteful. i also don’t think ive ever heard once about a character thrifting, and im wondering if thrift shops even exist in these countries or if they are just, like, not a thing at all?
just some stuff ive noticed reading BL! not judging the cultures, just genuinely curious if this is actually reflective of the real world or if it’s just some fiction tropes, and if there is a reason for it
I completely agree with your second statement but strongly disagree with your first lol. Personally, I find it disgusting when one wanna have sex without showering first. Who knows what kind of germs and odor you carried before meeting your partner. I guess It feels less sticky when u shower first. Kind of like exercising or going to the gym. It feels very different if u do it before and/or after.
1. For the showering part, I think it just coincide that they mostly have sex after coming home from work/school and it is usually during that time they shower because they just come from outside and it's dirty. Idk for Koreans but for Japanese they usually shower before going to work and before going to sleep because it makes you feel clean.
2. Thrifting does exist in these countries. Idk why they are not usually presented maybe because authors doesn't go thrifting?? From what I've read so far, some characters do thrift but they are not that heavily emphasized. Most of being are the discounted ones.
big bro gonna go after our cutie little ideum forsure and then jaeyi will have to admit that he cAARRESSS im sO in
