YAOI cliches
Firat of all, I want to clarify that I'm not insulting the whole YAOI genre. I'm a hardcore fujoshi myself and I've been reading it for more than 10 years. But I'm getting sick of this YAOI cliches that are FAR TOO UNREALISTIC.. I'm not saying that this applies to all YAOI mangas but it sometimes become a pattern in some. I just want to enumerate them and get it out of my system.
1. If one of the family turns out to be gay then the rest would follow (the father, the younger or older brother, the cousin, the uncle) 2. Rape isn't considered a bad thing... I hate how the victim isn't showing any signs of being traumatized but instead falls in love with the rapist. 3. All of the Uke/Seme's MALE circle of friends and acquintances start to fall in love with him. Its a LA LA LAND of gay. 4. Having sex in public places and people just magically disappear...
Haha.. With all thats been said... I still like YAOI and I will continue reading them..
Listen, I know what's up.
YOU GREW UP lol. Us "veterans" are way to genre savvy to be entertained by highschool boys with dorito faces saying I WUV U MY DEAR RAPIST STONEFACED JERK.

I think my biggest peeves are sex without Lubricant/with unnatural lube (like SPIT don't use spit guys buttholes don't work like that) and #2. OR like when It's dubious consent at best and eventually the bottom ~~enjoys it anyway~~ but like. Anal sex is super tricky and the bottom needs to be relaxed for it to work without hurting him. Oh and the w...... 3 reply
I agree. I know i hate the rape tropes in mangas, unless it is absolutely nnecessaryfor character development. Most of the time it's not, and the uke still falls in love with their rapist without any consolation. reply
I completely agree! I'm pretty new to the yaoi scene, but l've read a lot in these past months and boy have my feelings changed over time. You are definately not alone, I have thought all those things.
I have always been uncomfortable with rape tropes and it's still something that bugs me. Why don't they even try to struggle and escape? Why are y...... 1 reply
Your list lmao
Number one is probably to keep the branch stories close to the main lmao but the way you phrased it is hilarious.
Number two is ugh. I'm also a bit why. Some yaoi actually show victims signs of discomfort but the fact that those that don't exist is... why.
Number three... again! the way you phrased it lmao. Close to your number one ...... 1 reply
Also I want to add something..
YAOI couples having sex in inconvenient places (bathroom, school, office room) without having enough preparations.
Hello a man's ass is not SELF-LUBRICATING.
I'm amazed on how they do it, do they carry lubes in their pocket all the time??
Talk about unrealistic..
But satisfying someone's fantasy is far more important...... 2 reply
