MCs looking like children is becoming so normalized and it's fucking weird
Okay so I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of BL out there so it's not a genre I prefer but something I have noticed with really popular mlm manhwas is that the mc, 60% of the time, always looks like a child and I really think that it's odd as hell because you have the ml looking like an absolute titan with wide body proportions, big veiny hands, a big dick and all that but then the mc, the "bottom", looks like they stopped growing ages ago I kid you not, the amount of child looking mcs I see on a daily basis are genuinely concerning. It's like them being the one on the receiving end makes it obligatory for them to look pretty and feminine and CHILDLIKE. Yes, I am aware that not all of them are like that and that dudes with normal, average bodies do exist in the manhwa verse but they are in no way as popular as the child looking ones. Another thing I noticed and find icky is that those characters are always most likely to be babied by both the fans and the author as if they're not grown adult men..This is just something that's been bothering me for a bit cuz it's just so normalized and I would love to know y'alls opinion on it!
++I really wanted to show examples but apparently you can't attach photos to question. Those examples would've been: Feel the benefit, Jinx, Dangerous Convenience Store, In the deep and 100% love is an illusion cuz it literally checks every box in the things I mentioned.
sometimes they don't bother, the bottom dude just looks like a girl with a dick. Tiny adults do exist, but they never draw them properly, always smth like they just turned 18, they're stupid and the top dude needs to do everything for him, save him everytime there's an obstacle in his way, like booooooooooo that's gross 2 reply
and they all have pink assholes and tiny cute pink dicks that are barley there as well as big eyes, small face femminine tiny button nose , and really REALLY pale skin like are u serious rn. 2 reply
I disagree, most of the ones you mention don’t have them looking childlike. They’re just pretty. I do agree that the love is an illusion one looks very childlike tho. 1 reply
I actually think it’s an issue in all manga/manhwa/manhua. It’s only in recent years have female older characters stopped being drawn as children and that’s if they even bother to include someone that’s older.
I’m all about hating men but I think people become desensitized to men suffering sometimes and think it’s acceptable, especia...... 5 reply
Domt know what you're reading darling cause this days I think dominant bottoms is what's trending. I haven't seen children looking ukes for a hot minute 1 reply
Mmmm it was extremely popular 6 years ago but now every other MC is buff or very muscular, seems like author are going way more into either big bottomXbigger top or buff bottomXpretty top
BTW dangerous convenience store??? Babes thats one of the few that looks like a grown man 1 reply
I apologize for not giving the best examples as I mentioned before I'm not familiar with all kinds of BL stories and just gave the ones I knew! But another user used examples that were way better than mine so I recommend scrolling a bit and checking them out. Even though I didn't choose the best examples, my point still stands. reply
Just so you know I never read this loli bait crap. ITS LITERALLY TAGGED AS SHOUNEN AI And I know its a literal kid so i thought its funny putting this one in.this will get the fans 3 reply
Hard disagree. Not all BL is like that. Yeah, some popular manhwas use the 'tiny, feminine bottom + giant top' trope, but acting like it’s the whole genre is just ignorant. Ever read Our sunny days, Admiration and longing, Double leash, The Northern Grand Duke's Secret Contract Official, Hakujin to Kurobotan, ... Plenty of yaoi has balanced coupl...... 2 reply
