Yaoi pet peeves
I know these two are probably unpopular opinions but one of the things that greatly pisses me off while reading a story is when the artists draws the uke as a twink but they're overly feminized. Like a cute twink is good every now and then but when you draw him looking like a woman? Nah might as well draw a straight story. On the contrary though, love when twinks are the semes instead. Like a twink topping his bear? That's some good shit.
As for the other thing that bothers me in stories, is when there's too much smut that it takes 3+ chapters of them just fucking. Like i appreciate smut a lot and they're necessary to keep some stories interesting but taking more than one chapters of just a single sex scene? Nah bro if i wanted to read that much smut i'd just go read some hentai off mrm. Honestly hate it when stories do that. And with manhwas It's not just a one off thing, no they constantly ignore the story and spend 5 chapters with nothing but pure fucking. It's a good way to make me lose interest in a story. Can't count how many manhwas i've actually dropped over this.
But yeah these are my two pet peeves when it come to bl. Anyone got any?
When they start having sex with no prep as if they’re str8 or when the artists try to do those xray dick in rectum panels and the prostate is towards the spine 3 reply
People who use the term "yaoi" to refer to BL, especially if it's Korean BL
People calling the characters seme and uke (or top and bottom) instead of any other defining characteristics
People dying to know who's the top and who's the bottom if the couple haven't had sex
Fetishizers in general 3 reply
yeah if i wanted porn i'd just watch porn, i turn to bl for the chemistry and the story.
i'm so tired of frail-looking doe-eyed demure sensitive delicate bottoms with zero sense of self-preservation or agency on the brink of collapse. i want to see a relationship btwn two run-of-the-mill dudes that just happen to be gay. i basically break my neck...... 2 reply
oml the smut part especially!!! Like, I enjoy a good smut here and there, hell double smut chapter— I’ll take it! But, dragging on the smut is absolutely nefarious and annoying!!!!! Like, I shouldn’t have to see the uke and seme fuck around in 5285368 positions in the span of a couple hours! 1 reply
i couldn't agree more on this. mine is when the creator is problematic like their works. at least pick a struggle or go to therapy. some of them are just straight up bvlly, who likes to manipulate the truth, act like a victim, and they think they're like a god that readers worship. the superiority complex is insane. they're just proving their works...... 2 reply
One of the things I’ve noticed bothers me about BL is the fact that character A just assumes character B is going to be ok bottoming. Like they’re literally already half naked when it’s brought up and the one who’s gonna bottom hesitates for like 2 seconds before he’s like “ok”, or sometimes it’s not even mentioned, only bottom thin...... 2 reply
Honestly I'm tired of Rich guy x poor guy. Bottom is always small af , smol face and build , aslo the face is always like a baby ugh . Then there is top who is huge af sharp eyes rude af raping constantly Bottom and then falls in love (ugh). It's always about raping bottom. And one more thing is how they always just put it in without any preparatio...... reply
When they try to insinuate the smut by hiding half their bodies. Boi if ur gonna make ur characters have sex, either DRAW IT or DONT. I'm tired of seeing legs all the time when they could use that valuable space for something else reply
when there's literally no character/relationship building. like it will be three chapters in and theyre fucking. like ok nothing wrong with hookups, but then they just never elaborate on WHY these people are together except for being sexually compatible. and then its 100 chapters of straight smut with like 10 chapters dedicated to world-building. i...... 2 reply
When one character treats the other one like shit but when the said character leaves them they start regretting it oh fucking hell I can't STAND IT, they should have never done that shit in the FIRST PLACCEEEE reply
