Yaoi
Do you think yaoi (NOT bl/shounen ai) sexualizes and glamorizes gay relationships? I’m genuinely curious because some story’s are so so unrealistic. And some are just straight sex the entire manga. With no plot. (I understand it is strictly fiction.) I would like to hear opinions because, to be honest, I’ve gotten to a point where I’m just confused about what im reading. And I’m feeling mixed feelings about reading those story’s anymore. (Maybe the word I’m looking for is uncomfortable??) but anyways your opinion is very appreciated on this taboo subject. I know it’s a lot haha.
If you read Yaoi just because you think gays are sexy and man on man stuff is hot then it's definitely sexualisation.
There are some yaoi which sexualise abusive gay relationships and the concept of uke seme is also extremely stereotypical. Very rarely is Yaoi any realistic. Girls who read it just for smut and sex are just as bad as men getting of...... 1 reply
