Anyone else kinda annoyed by the way drag queens (and sometimes actual trans women) are portrayed in yaois? They’re always extremely masculine and buff, and made to be a complete joke. Their appearance is always made to look very silly, like “haha this man is trying to look like a woman!!! so funny!!”.
Actually, there's a pretty interesting reason for it.
Look up "okama". It's a japanese slang word for drag queen. Usually, these character's appearances are used as gag characters, so they would obviously be caricatures.
Personally, I think it's pretty funny IF IT'S A GAG CHARACTER. If it's a main character, then no fucking way.
That, my friend, is because yaoi is one if the worst portrayals of “gay” people (in quotes because most yaoi MCs denounce their sexuality). It’s a genre written almost entirely by women, and almost always for women audiences. It’s not made in favor of actual gay people. It’s just fetishization of gay men. Even the term fujoshi has some homophobic roots. It translates to rotten girl, basically saying that a woman who enjoys gay erotica is disgusting (due to the gay part). I’m not surprised at the amount if homophobia in yaoi.
sometimes we get shit like the okama, like the buff mamas like you mentioned. other times we get thin feminine ones, the type of 'girly boys' that some readers hate and wish for a "manly uke" or whatever. but then we finally something in between like mayonaka love alliance. either way, it's hard to please everyone. it's a pain in the ass to bother caring about it so i try not to be offended over everything and just let it be.
It's not supposed to properly portray gay relationships. It's female-made erotica depicting the objectification of male on male sexuality.
Also, Gay chicken wasn't calling you righteous. They were just saying that in this fandom, you can't say shot about rape, because someone will always call you out.
Ditto, I do apologise if you took it into offence, though it is my opinion. I stand by what I said, but I could have written it an a less harsh way. Oh look, a queer was able to explain what I meant. Many different people read yaoi, some like rape and the cliched tropes. Again, I do apologise for shooting down your opinion without noticing.
does anyone know that one yaoi manga where the seme is kinda obsessed with licking the uke’s underarms?
This is the other one I know the 1st story has an armpit fetish

Anybody else notice that hentai manhwa/manhua always have an extremely fucking gross, ugly/below average, pervy, boring protag that somehow attract a bunch of really hot women? like, at least in manga the guy is usually just sorta boring and average looking but manhwa/manhua protags are LITERAL fucking scum.
I'd assume the reason is that those roles assert dominance and hence why they are fetishised.
In a typical hentai, dominant individuals tend to imagine themselves being on the top and dominant position whereas submissive individuals tend to imagine themselves being in the bottom and submissive position.
This can be applied to rape hentai where people who read the story with a kink for rape would find it relatively sexually arousing imagining themselves being in the shoes of the sexual harasser or in the shoes of the victim.
Yaoi manga where guy goes to bar, blacks out, and then wakes up tied to a bed with another guy using toys and shit on him?
I think this is it, but I’m not sure. http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/pick_up/
okay, so for dinner i was kinda feeling steak. so i get myself a nice sirloin, put on some spices, and cooked it. it was delectable. i dont eat cold steak so i was trying to eat it all. i ate a full pound of steak. at the moment, i was very happy with my decision. until i was texted by my neighbor asking if i could walk her dogs. being the nice person i am i said yes. the walk was going smoothly until i started feeling a bit of discomfort. stupidly, i ignored it and kept going. bad decision. i walked for about 20 minutes and then turned around to return the little fur babies home. just as i was approaching my block, i could feel the tide pulling in before the tsunami. i ran my ass to my neighbor’s house and put the dogs back. i was never a fan of track, but i did a 10 second meter sprint back to my house. i ran into the bathroom, sat down, and waited for hell. it was fucking horrible. my butt still hurts so much.
(in order to relate this to manga) i can only imagine that this pain must be close to how an uke feels after getting his ass drilled with no prep.

I forgot the name of this historical yaoi where there’s a really beautiful man and all these people come to see his genitals? It’s like a challenge and men come to try and look at his genitals. At some point some guy comes in an busts the whole scam.
And by that you mean he busts a nut-
