Opinion on BL do you agree?
people don't like seeing 2 men happy in a relationship they like the idea of men kissing/having sex. Authors make the bottom/ML hyperfem to the point he's like a girl, even having the top/2nd ML compare him to one. So many times I've seen them cum from their butt bro.....They give the bottom/ML female anatomy and slap a tiny dick on them. Seeing two masc presenting men(lack of better word) having sex will disgust a lot of ppl who read/write BL. I feel like this is also why a lot of yaoi/BL focuses on sexual aspects rather than relationship. Although you can say yaoi is for smut, het/yuri smut has romantic aspects outside of the sex. I don't read BL anymore bc of this. 19 days for life tho (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I gotta respectfully disagree. I really think that you are the one trapped in the land of stereotypes.
Firstly, hyperfem bottoms are not the core of BL. I can hardly think of any I have read lately with that type (may reflect my personal choice though). Even if there were lots, there ARE actually hyperfem guys who enjoy expressing themselves that...... 3 reply
As a queer women who LOVES femininity, I am a bit tired of the shit feminine men in general get. There are PLENTY of BL (both shounen-ai and yaoi) where the guys are both very much masculine. There is a difference between masc/femme "presenting" and being masculine and feminine. Yes, yaoi has its fair share of feminine bottoms, who are masc PRESENT...... reply
I think yaoi has slowly moved away from that trope. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen at all, but at least most of the new series i follow either have both characters be fairly “equal” in the body type, and even if they are not, one half is not drawn super “soft” to resemble a female.
There are a lot of pretty 2 reply
Hmm no? There’s like many different type of yaoi and some focus on sex, some don’t but still have it. Yaoi isn’t just unrealistic heteronormative mlm sex lol but I can understand why you wouldn’t want to read it because more than that, a huge problem yaoi has is consent and legality or very very toxic “love” stories. reply
I agree to an extent. I think some authors do fetishize gay couples in Yaoi, but there are still many good reads for you out there. I mean, one of my favorite Yaoi mangas is about two grown men who actually LOOK like men. (The manga is called “Never Good Enough” btw). Rather than focusing on just sex, it ALSO establishes what kind of characters...... 1 reply
Hmm, while I do agree that most of the popular ones are indeed that same formula, even this app is guilty of recommending them, which also leads new fujoshis to reading this and liking it, which results in recommending it more often, vicious cycle basically
I do however disagree a bit, hetero/josei can be just as guilty of giving a lifeless story ...... 1 reply
Yeah I hate it when the top says stuff like "you feel better than a girl" "I'm gonna make you pregnant"(when it's not a omegaverse) or bullshit like that it's suuuuuuuper annoying... But there are a lot and I mean A LOT of buffy/manly bottoms out there so you shouldn't generalize ╮(￣▽￣)╭ reply
Some clarifications 1. When I say BL im talking abt yaoi I forgot they're not interchangeable I'm sorry 2. When I say cum from their butt I mean literally releasing semen from their butt, the cum isn't released their dick its from their butt. That's what I mean by reducing them to female anatomy 1 reply
this is why the genre shonen ai exists, and there are tons more bls that do have queer men in happy relationships that dont focus 100% on sex you just need to look harder 1 reply
