Least favourite yaoi tropes?
I abhor the whole rapey sex thing that’s way too common in yaoi. The uke will literally be like “Stop, I want you to stop, I clearly dislike what you’re doing so PLEASE STOP” and the fangirls will say “pfft, that’s just being a tsundere”. When the uke doesn’t enjoy it, I don’t enjoy it(づ￣ ³￣)づ. This ties in with the whole “I have a boner all of a sudden, take responsibility” thing that semes ALWAYS say, and I know it’s supposed to be jokey but it creeps me out sometimes lol. Imagine that happening irl? A guy friend of yours walks up to you with a tent in their pants saying “I’m hard, jack me off” like??? no??? Last, but not least, the “benelovent uke” trope. You know what I’m on about. Their seme will leave them for almost their entire life, beat them up everyday, use them as a slave, but then one tear drops from their eye and they say “sorry” and suddenly the uke is like “i cOuLdN’t sAy nO tO tHosE eYes” like yes bitch you could >_<
I don't know if I would call it a trope, but there is a certain convention in yaoi that uke and seme status is 'fixed'. That is to say permanent. I'll admit it makes for easier story writing and of course that pays the bills if you're a mangaka. But that ain't real life. People can and do change roles. Sometimes occasionally, sometimes permanently....... 1 reply
