This might sound controversial but
I simply can no longer bring myself to call couples in BL as "seme" and "uke". I used to do that in the early days of 2016 but it's just cringy nowadays. Also recently I stopped using terms as "top" and "bottom" since it's kinda demeaning to refer to them by whether they are in the giving and/or receiving end. So I decided to use "main character", "main lead", "male lead", "protagonist" and "love interest", "male counterpart", "deuteragonist". It may seem overkill but it feels more respectful to refer to characters this way.
I always refer them to their name and if I don’t remember the names, I refer them by their hair color.
It just seems like I sexualize them when I refer then to seme, top, bottom etc.
I die from cringeness when people say stuff like that irl. reply
lmao who cares? for one i dont. its a diff. matter if theyre REAL ACTUAL LIVING PPL tho bc i for sure will never call them like that, thats just wrong reply
I 100% AGREE. I didn't use the terms from the beginning because even if they're fictional characters, no one should be referred to as what they are in their private life. Like they're still people. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ reply
this isnt controversial at all honestly I’m the same way it’s not only cringey but it’s offensive when I see someone refer to real gay couples as seme and uke it doesn’t happen often but it’s so uncomfortable to see that reply
