My absolute least favourite trends are anything that portrays a really awful and toxic relationship; rape, verbal/mental/physical abuse, forgiving and justifying and even romanticsing the abuser, a rival character as a plot device to torture or unnecessarily create conflict for the couple, bad communication and silly miscommunications. Another tre......
Strictly bl: Rape trope; that rape scene we just cannot live without appearing in most yaoi. Yay-not. Falling in love with rapist; miss me with that bullshit. Falling in love with your bully; yeah, no. Disgusting. Bullying the one you love; are we SIX! Immature with a growing frontal lobe and immature amygdala? We can't fuck or date others before ......
When the handsome MCs get cuter and cuter until they look like children and aren't handsome anymore or they started out with a cool look then get drawn more plainly as time goes on. Goddamn, art change is art change but it's unappealing to me. MC was a handsome man and had unique looking features but now looks like a generic little boy
Rape, stupid ukes/semes. Stupid manwhore semes and ukes. Big Miscommunication that just seems endless and cause big unnessary dramas. Cliche plot line that just jumped to sex without love, poor development. Force love between the characters that suddenly come out of no one, using girls as cockblockers or as the evil bitch. Really degarding to us g......
it's fine to read and enjoy yaoi, as long as you're aware it isn't reality. like a lot of manga and anime, it's a hypersexualized representation about 90% of the time, and that's not even including all of the abusive and freakin weird tropes (i mean all the pedophillia phew) but regardless it's a form of media, and manga, no less. when it does cros......
It's okay to be confused I didn't find out till last year that I am "bi" I am not really into labels. Sexuality is fluid you can be mostly "straight" but still have a bit of attraction to women too. It's not black and white like that with sexuality there are many shades of gray and it can change over time within those shades of grey. Hope this made......
For all those upset with Yuri for turning his back on his one true love, I understand your feelings but let's take a walk in some shoes. Yuri's been through a lot. He's in the allusion that his family's death was caused purposely by one of his closest friends. Of course he'd have trust issues, and on top of that, he's still a young teen; he's in the process of maturation.
I've also been a bit upset with his thoughtless and trust-less actions, but he's slowly building his trust with Jaerim, just like his old personality is slowly shining through. We have to be patient with this gentleman.
However, I am greatly pleased by Dong Gyung's words. I'm pretty sure he told Yuri what we were all thinking, and that was a major relief because without that, there would've been even more drama coming from cliché communication problems.
Hopefully, this post has calmed some of you down and made you switch sides from anti-Yuri to Yaerim.
Overall, I love this manga and I can't wait for the drama to die down and for everyone to live happily and tranquilly! (▰˘◡˘▰)
