This one stood out to me since it's a vampire BL, and it's almost unheard of for BLs with that trope not to have irrational, toxic levels of possessiveness where every other vampire is seen as a threat by the ML. I love En and Sugi's friendship.
The one where people shut the fuck up publicly in the internet ab reading gay porn comics bc it's considered weird (I just want people to shut up)
I won't add anything more because the top comments have already covered very interesting points with logic. But I swear I have seen some of other users saying exact opposite things when this same discourse happened before. Guys, it's okay to be your typical self aka nasty or conceited but atleast be firm in your opinion instead of following top com......
Japanese + Yaoi history lesson!!! "Fujoshi" is a play on the word "respectable woman" (婦女子). The first character, fu (婦) meaning "married woman" is replaced with the kanji for "rotten" (腐). It was originally used as a derogatory insult by men, as women interested in queer and sexual topics were seen as abnormal and unfit for marriage by......
Hello, college teacher here who teaches on sex and gender. People think sex (female/male) is binary but it's not. Biological sex is made up of many factors including chronosomes, hormones, reproductive organs, etc. Its not that you either have xx chromones, vagina, uterus, and estrogen OR you have xy, testes, penis, and testosterone. We actually al......
To me its more that those "critiques" dont really give much value to the comment section and instead poison it. They are rudely written and mean and preventing any interesting conversations from forming (even between people who are disagreeing). They set the tone of the comment section, making people wary to give more nuanced takes in case someone ......
I think there’s some truth to this comparison, obviously BL and porn aren’t the same thing, but both seem to attract a lot of moral judgment that can end up causing more harm than the thing people are criticizing in the first place. I agree with the idea that a lot of the distress people experience can come from moral conflict and shame rather......
I usually heavily dislike posting anything on here, but I think this is important. People need to stop prioritizing fictional characters over real people, especially when it comes to victims and survivors. It's causing an empathy drought. I oftentimes feel that in fandoms, people care way more for the fictional victims & survivors, rather than th......
You know what's weird? The way women are constantly asked to justify their hobbies romance, erotica, etc. while men can obsess over sports, action movies, or porn without anyone demanding a psychological breakdown. No one asks “Why do straight men love gta or shooting games?” They just let them enjoy things. But when a woman says she likes yaoi......
I've noticed that ppl that like wholesome yaoi are lwk mean and will lwk fight you for having an opinion Whereas ppl in the genuinely toxic yaoi comment section and even irl are waaay sweeter Make it make sense
Apparently when one of the people theyre friends with make "sarcastic jokes" about racism, misogyny, antisemitism its okay! cus its sarcastic! but when i repeat what i said to the user gloriouskingkabru it wasn't clear its sarcastic cus "I'm not taking pedophilia seriously" So by your logic is racism, misogyny and antismitism is okay to joke for ......
Yes but it can only be normalized if men would stop breathing and disappear from mother earth and cease to exist and never fucking appear ever fucking again
What's your guy's fav platonic relationships seen in BL?
