BL Bottoms are strong
I've been bed rotting the whole day and a thought occurred to me, ngl, BL bottoms are strong asf. Especially mentally. If I was the one always getting forced into dubcon sex by my partner, getting creampied despite saying no, has sex more times than we go on dates, has a partner who gets jealous at every interaction I have, has a partner who does stupid hurtful shit to get my attention, and not to mention all those toxic BL plots where they're constantly being put through shit just because they loved the ML? If a normal person was in their position they probably would've been suffering from depression and have gotten tons of health issues already
Unrealistically strong, I feel like they are written that way on purpose. To be idealized as the perfect doormat but also they secretly want everything that happens to them so *gasp* they were actually in control of the narrative the whole time, rather than the victim they were the mastermind, it's like a male Mary sue. IDK maybe im thinking too de...... reply
the bottoms aren’t ‘strong,’ they’re just written unrealistically to romanticize abuse. that's why some authors need to put their pens down instead of wasting their gorgeous art for a shitty plot smh

They aren't strong. They are badly written characters written by authors who have sex fetishes and some very therapy worthy issues. After reading a certain amount of BLs, it becomes pretty clear most of these authors have never spoken to a gay man, that's how unrealistic and asspull their writing is. They basically write misogynistic f/m and replac...... reply
None of them are strong, authors remove their sense of respect to oneself and boundaries just so their top can stay loveable by audiences and their actions are excused because the "bottom was fine" or "bottom forgave them" like okay I haven't updated my research in awhile on this but this lol but you get the gist 1 reply
Since you guys are disagreeing I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here. Objectively speaking OP is right, BL bottoms DO have strong mental fortitudes if we strip away the fact that they're like that because abuse is normalized. Being able to withstand all that torment without falling into a deep depression is insane if we used irl standards, I thi...... reply
My top strong bottom, Jiang Luo from 'This thirst for survival' (I don't care if you've seen me post about this novel, it gets free publicity from moi). This is a bottom who shall not take any shit from anybody, top or otherwise. AAAnnnnnddd it's not 'cause the top is some sort of green flag puppy, but like straight up black flag kills people and s...... reply
