As someone who reads all romances, I agree that a lot of BL is very very heteronormative. Like I can literally count BL's that are not mere sexualisation of gay people, but actually good BLS with plot. And idk why but whenever the bottom in the bl is like shorter than the top and twink looking, the BL almost always is dogshit. Authors need to lear......   3 reply

I mean, this type of people exist in every genre, lol. It's nothing new at all. BL fans aren't really any different in that regard. The kind of "supremacist" type of people who want to establish the genre they like as more "better" or "superior". Seen that a million times over in other fandoms as well, most notably shounen fans. Also, that ain't ......   reply

I can understand why they pedestalize it. BL became so popularised because it was an escape from a misogynistic reality. Women wanted to create stories of men experiencing what they would and everything resolving itself in the end. What women need to do is to stop using BL as the escape route. Gay men are not your safe space, they are men living th......   reply

y'all are fr annoying af. I've yet to see readers of straight romance or GL go on other genres and say shit like "ThIs Is WhY i OnLy ReAd Bl!!111" as if BL is this perfectly written genre with zero flaws. Here's a hot take - a lot of BL's are bootleg straight romances and are written the exact same as the straight stories y'all hate so much but y'all like it bc it's ~gay~. The male MC is almost always coded to be submissive and meek and the 'bottom' while the love interest is dominant taller muscular and the 'top'. Ironically, BL enforces gender roles more than straight romance does. You could replace the male MC w/ a FL and nothing would change. Ofc there are exceptions to the rule but they're exceptions for a reason.

Another thing, BL is not empowering for women. Istg y'all will call w/e a woman does empowering w/o thinking critically. How tf is a woman writing about gay relationships between men empowering? How can a genre where the women are either a) non-existent or are side characters at best b) exist only to get in between the m/m relationship empowering? It's giving internalised misogyny. Instead of writing better-written female characters (who are in charge of their sexuality) write about gay men instead. Makes perfect sense /s
