Issues in BL
I'm just wondering how far you can go to justify a seme's actions in a bl. I used to eat up whatever yaoi authors would write, but now that I've taken a break from reading and am coming I'm seeing so much shit that authors just let pass because the top is hot and powerful.
While its more rare, another question is a bottom's justification. Have you ever read a bl where the bottom was clearly the problem, but it was swept under the rug because whatever.
OH MY GOD IM SO HAPPY UR REALIZING THIS!!! Pretty privilege exists, and they're proof of it... There will ALWAYS be a character that people will try and defend JUST because they're attractive. Which is why the author of Punpun made him look like a bird, because they knew if they drew him, there'd be people trying to justify his actions. 4 reply
I fucking know right. I used EAT UP painter of the night and it took me an entire chapter of the seme r*ping the uke to finally see that this cannot be healthy to read for a developing brain. The way so many BL normalizes SA it's wild and very scary. But we as an audience must also love reading stories like that for it to be so popular.

i'm much more tolerant towards whoever the MC is tbh soohyun from checkmate for example like i was full on supporting his delulu behaviour but looking at it objectively it's pretty messed up 4 reply
When i just started to get into bl and reading i used to just read everything, even shjt thats fucked up like ks and all that but now I've been more conscious recently which is good atleast. Tops these days are so shit especially in manhwas and they get so liked by many people which they dont deserve (im talking to u jaekyung and that white haired ...... 3 reply
this omg!!!
i think part of the reason ppl ignore all the fucked up shit that’s actually happening is because most of the people who read yaoi are fucking FEMCELS(girl version of incel) who just romanticize shit like rape and SA and substitute themselves for the uke like go on wattpad if u wanna be y/n
anyways yes pretty privilege is so so cr...... reply
this is what I could say to Love History Caused by Willful Negligence's traditional bottom. I could never stand the mc, nobody talks about how he is the cause of his own problems somehow when he ends up taking revenge on the ml he SHOULD have just forgotten about him and moved on lol be ends up falling in love with a literal psycho. 1 reply
i’m about to yap so hard oh man.
this has been on my mind a lot recently, cuz i just keep noticing so many tops in yaoi are just terrible but they get a pass because either they’re hot, had a sad past or “redeem” themselves. i understand having a complex character but these guys will just be straight up abusers (ie Jinx) and ppl eat it up...... 1 reply
Omg I can make a whole essay about how much I hate the ukes in raising a bat, and the king of home cooking... they piss me off. There are so many ukes who are just toxic but none seems to get it?? 1 reply
I think the problem is how the story presents the characters, a story can't be good without conflict, even if it's from the main characters themselves.
Yes, have a problematic ml/mc, just show their complexity and not romanticize it
