you can have a normal conversation with some of them and I love that side of fans despite me not liking the manwha, however the rest of them are just borderline ignorant & insane especially the adults.

all of those actively affect reality, no matter how much they tell you fiction does affect reality:

its not "purity culture" its called being fucking normal, im chill with "taboo" topics if they're handles correctly, such as being treated as actual trauma and NOT romanticized. it is NOT "exposure therapy", exposure therapy is meant to HELP you recognize your trauma, to cope properly with it, and how to get out of those situations.
for example: if an abuse victim goes into exposure therapy, they are NOT told to romanticize or normalize their trauma; even in fiction. IF they are recommended to interact with such media it is NOT for those reasons; it is to recognize what is abusive.

does anyone know what manga these images are from? https://ibb.co/qYhnpNww https://ibb.co/5WgRpFHd https://ibb.co/RGcRr69y

Bonus question: would you ever delete your account? Why?

Context: I love it here to death actually maybe a little too much.
I quit genshin and have had time to literally touch grass and be more like the pinterest girlie of my dreams. I used to love making art and my other 1000 hobbies but I spend 80% of my free time here. So I am asking for advice because I wanna start spending less time on here and making crochet frogs instead.

IK I’m kinda asking for the blind to lead the blind here but I mean idk what else to try :)

Would u still love them

I genuinely fucking detest AI art and now they can copy animation too. This honestly sucks ass. I hope no one ever uses it to create a 100% AI animated series/movie. I'm already becoming skeptical about new novels nowadays bc I heard of AI generation/enhancement in recent works and now this. Art is dying.

I asked you guys to express your opinions about BL & now I want opinions about GL

I saw a story and noticed that the cover was Ai generated so I decided to check out the comments, apparently the whole entire story is AI generated… wtf

Okay so, I’m in a reading slump. This really sucks, I have a hard time really getting into any reads and find myself dropping almost everything I read. This is my last cry for help before I take a long break from reading.
Can I PLEASE have your favorite eventual smut Yaoi. I really want it to focus on the romance and the characters falling for each other. Towards the middle or end they frick. Touching, kissing, etc. is fine in the beginning as long as they don’t go all the way till later.
Bonus points if the spicy scenes do be spicy

Bro, I have multiple peak stories. I’m reading right now and they’re all amazing but how do I focus on them all at once because they’re all novels right now so there’s a lot of chapter I need to catch up on all of them.

If anyone’s curious about them

1 got dropped into a horror story still have to work

God of creation

Illusion Hunter from another world ( has a manga on here)

You could find them all on novel updates

Some people on this app are borderline weird… actually scratch that borderline weird doesn’t even scratch the surface

I think this might be an original experience but my favorite made-up game to play a while back was yaoi bingo. I chose a random popular yaoi and saw how long it would take me to get a bingo when all squares are overused bl manwha tropes (in case you were wondering, usually less than 10 chapters). I'll share a picture of the old bingo board I made in the replies.

So... What squares/tropes would you add?

i think (new/unknowledgeable) writers or readers should know this, any forms of BDSM does not mean you hit and cum because it's not. there's some new (alarming) works here that uses SM as cover up for straight violence. i believe BDSM is an art and sometimes it is not even just for sexual pleasure. OG BDSM readers and writers should know.

The lion, however, will cry in his sleep for no related reason.

I think that instead of a shitty live action, ( i mean, seriously? Guns instead of swords??) the author of ORV should team up with the same studio and team that made the anime for Lord of The Mysteries. It has beautiful animation, art style, and music and I just think that they would do ORV proper justice. Especially since they both are interesting, beautiful stories. ORV please!! You can do so much better than a live action….Your story deserves a proper adaptation!
