I’m not really a fan of pretty, feminine men. They’re men physically so they’re gonna look like men. Sure there are men who are slender, but I’ve never seen one with a girly shaped face or a tiny waist with a bubble butt. I also hate it when the author gives the uke a tiny dick. most men don’t have a micro penis. And people don’t always...... reply
Weak and dumb characters makes me lose interest. Why can't we have dynamic characters that actually change theirselves for theirselves and not because Person A doesn't like them. I want to see them change to a better version of themselves rather than relying on Person A or anyone tho it's okay to show your vulnerable side to someone. Characters who...... reply
