Has anyone noticed that a few years ago, the featured manga section would only be bl, and now there’s more and more straight stories appearing? Not implying that’s a good or bad thing. Just thought it was interesting. Any theories why?

the story i plan to write has an emo as one of the main characters (not a serious book, just quotev stuff). Now i know i could just google but id really not rather be fed fake content/buzzfeed bs so I just want to ask/know the basic information of emo.
I know its a subgenre of punk (??) But im not sure still what the difference is (someone said punk is pent up anger and emo is pent up feelings but tbh i cant differentiate the music, i just dont have the ear for it). Can you be emo without wearing the outfits or should you also have the style aside from the music taste? What makes someone emo aside from the fashion and favorite genre of songs? Speaking of outfits, what are the clothing/accessories emos wear (and what are the differences between emo, goth, punk, etc)
Do they attend raves, and where? What are normally attributed to the subculture that are true and false?
I apologize for the barage of questions as well as any idiotic or stupid questions i may have asked. Im just not well versed but i dont want to do a disservice to my characters or any emos out there and i dont want to misrepresent a group of people who are already criticized/outcasted by large amounts of people. Any answers will be appreciated no matter how short!!! Have a good day/afternoon/night :]

Not to undermine the ppl posting abt their depression and suicidal thoughts here (u r all entitled to ur own feelings brought by ur experiences), but i wud very much slap 13yr old me for acting suicidal and self-harming for the sake of attention bcos i thought it was the only way for me to be seen by my so-called friends at the time since they mostly ignored me otherwise. I just didn't know at the time that they were bad friends in general and that i also made it worse by being annoying in the way i acted lol

Ok so I was talking to this guy for a week or so and everything was going fine and I think I really started to like him (this is my first time talking to a guy btw) but literally out of nowhere he asked for nudes and before this there was some other red flags like him saying I love you 6 days into talking and idk he was just like to good at talking to me like he’s talked to a lot of girls before even tho the people who introduced us to each other said that he wasn’t like a play boy and that he hasn’t talked to a lot of girls before anyway I was to scared to give him my number bc I have strict parents so we were talking on discord so I just blocked him after he asked but literally RIGHT after I blocked him he made another account that literally said “(my name) pleaseeeee” like boy you couldn’t even say sorry anywayI want to know your guys opinion if I should give him another chance bc yes I hate the fact that he asked for nudes but he is a teen boy (I’m a teen girl please don’t misunderstand no diddy is happening here ) and I really enjoyed talking to him we joked and laughed a lot together and just really clicked plus my cousin who has talked to a lot of boys before and she said it’s normal for guys to ask that a week in and even her ex asked her for that apparently a week in and I mean to be fair they did almost last year together and her now boyfriend apparently also asked her for something, but they are pretty toxic like she did cheat a few times with her ex and I’m pretty sure he’s also cheating on her and they did break up a few times but idk should I just leave it alone or maybe just stay friends?

In the realm where moonlight kissed the emerald canopy of the Elvenwood, a young elf named Elian lived a life of serene solitude. His ethereal beauty, with hair like spun silver and eyes the color of a summer sky, was matched only by his potent, ancient magic. But Elian's peaceful existence was shattered when the Demon King, a being of shadow and wrath known as Azrael, descended upon the Elvenwood, seeking a powerful artifact hidden within its ancient heart.
Azrael was not the typical demon lord; his dark eyes held a haunting melancholy, a stark contrast to his fearsome visage. When he encountered Elian, the elf's unyielding spirit and radiant aura ignited a curiosity within him, a flicker of something he had long forgotten - compassion. Elian, however, saw only a monstrous threat, his initial reaction a fierce resistance.
Their first meeting was a clash of wills, Elian's light magic battling against Azrael's shadow-forged blades. But amidst the chaos, Azrael found himself inexplicably drawn to Elian's resilience. He began to visit the Elvenwood in secret, not to attack, but to engage in philosophical discussions, sharing stories from the dark abyss he called home. Elian, intrigued by the complexities of the demon king, started to see past the fearsome facade, recognizing the pain that festered beneath Azrael's cold exterior.
As their encounters continued, a strange bond formed. Elian, with his innate empathy, slowly chipped away at Azrael's hardened heart, revealing a past marred by betrayal and loss. Meanwhile, Azrael, in turn, showed Elian the beauty of the shadows, the hidden power in the darkness, and the importance of balance.
Their forbidden connection was not without danger. The other demons, loyal to Azrael, viewed Elian as a threat to their power, while the elves, vigilant against the demon menace, became suspicious of Elian's mysterious absences.
When the artifact that Azrael sought was discovered, the tension reached a boiling point. The artifact, a crystal of immense power, could be used for destruction or creation, depending on the wielder's intent. Elian, understanding the gravity of the situation, proposed a pact to Azrael - he would help retrieve the artifact, but only if Azrael vowed to use it for good.
Together, they ventured into the heart of the Elvenwood, facing perilous trials and ancient guardians. In the final confrontation, Azrael was forced to confront his own demons, his past sins threatening to consume him. It was Elian's unwavering belief in him, his gentle touch on Azrael's hand, that pulled him back from the brink.
With the artifact in hand, Azrael chose to use its power to heal the wounded land, restoring balance to the realm. The elves, witnessing the demon king's act of redemption, slowly began to accept the unusual bond between Elian and Azrael.
Their love story, a testament to the power of understanding and compassion, defied the boundaries of light and dark, forever changing the landscape of the realm, proving that even in the most unlikely of pairings, love could bloom in the most unexpected places.

ok so this is gonna get political, sorry about that, but i just need to know if i'm going insane. (i know i need to get off this website, it is unfortunately a bit of an addiction). let me crash out for a minute.
i have felt for a while now that more and more of the stories on the front page and in general on here are getting worse, it's full of revenge porn, harmful ideas about romance, abuse, sexism, toxicity... and i know that these things have always been there, men have always written stories and they have always been bad, but why are these things everywhere now? why are they never tagged, hardly anyone seems to point them out to warn people and most are just running with it like it's normal?? this is a predominantly female website, why does every second story you find on here have some sort of pro-rape-retoric and sexist undertones? those revenge-porn stories that were clearly written by miserable men are always a jumpscare when i open the website, but at least with those covers i'm not going to accidentally click on it and expect a wholesome story. but why did i just find a comedic shoujo about sex-slavery?? like straight up, i wish i was joking. the normalisation of these ideas is honestly scaring me, who is benefitting off of young girls being desensitized to rape and sex-trafficking?? ... i really wonder.
not sure if most of y'all are too young to remember but toxic yaoi used to be the outlier, not the norm, you know? nowadays, people are celebrating when they managed to find one normal story where the male lead doesn't have 1451 red flags. just like pinterest is overrun with ai, mangago is overrun with revenge porn, somehow catered towards young girls and women.
i do not think it is a coincidence, that in times of rising fascism and women's rights being taken away, stories that serve an "anti-woke" agenda get pushed by the algorithm and are widely accepted as the new normal.
