Haha my mom found some shounen ai on my webtoon and she confiscated all my devices and I got yelled at a lot :')

There was this time I told my friends I read BL and she was like ye it’s fine as long as it’s not hentai .after that I thought it’s properly not wise to tell her I’m practically a yaoi-addicted pervert(⊙…⊙ ) 3 reply
i don’t really think i have any phobias. back when everyone was saying they had phobias i thought i had mensophobia or whatever it’s called but really i think it just annoys tf out of me lmfao reply
Same here. Been reading and watching BL for quite some years and no one from my family or friends know. They don't need to know anyways. It's one of my many guilty pleasures. Everyone got their "things" we don't need to share, right. Lol!
I'm glad that there is so many variety and that it's so accesible now thanks to many great uploaders and peopl...... 1 reply
I've been hiding the fact that I read yaoi for yeaarrsss. Only my best friend knows and she doesn't seem to mind. I don't plan on telling my family or anyone else.
Ok so, I’m 21 ( I’m a girl) and around 4 years ago I started to read manga ( yaoi, shoujo, slice of life and not really interested in Yuri ).Recently, I’m getting this feeling of talking and being more intimate with a female friend of mine ( we are not that close, but during quarantine we started to talk more). And I don’t know what to do, ...... reply
What you have said is valid and I agree with a lot of the clear-headed points made. I do think the BL genre as a whole is moving forward, even if only slightly, as there is a fair amount of non-toxic and healthy relationships being portrayed recently (although of course the problematic portrayals still do exist). Regarding the minors consuming BL i...... 1 reply
To me, being unable to differentiate yaoi/bl from gays in real life is not right. But then you definetly have a point that we do the same for heterosexual relationships : I think people just notice it less bc yaois have a more "negative" point of view on them since they're homosexual relationships (yes we r in 2020 and still facing such problems).

Fetishization of any people group is bad. But bad representation of lgbt people and other marginalized groups, aka not straight cis people, can be the difference between getting rights and getting killed. 1 reply
ikr 12-year-olds out there romanticizing a TOTAL PSYCHOPATH like Sangwoo, saying things like: "OMFGGG HE IS SO HOT I WISH HE COULD BREAK MY ANKLES TOO" "I WANNA MARRY HIM" girl IF YOU WERE IN YOONBUM'S PLACE WITH ALL OF THAT CRAZY SHIT WOULD YOU STILL BE SAYING THOSE THINGS??????? And, I've seen some comments on some tiktok vids with boys with the...... 2 reply
Wholesome means star x fanboy . You'll understand if you read it :)
The exact dictionary definition is "conducive to or promoting moral well-being." It means the story is very healthy (a healthy relationship), sweet, and cute, not dark or anything. If something is wholesome, it means it's moral, ethical, pure, and good (lol I'm just naming synon...... 1 reply
I agree. Yaoi is similar to any other porn or anime or manga with sex out there. Because of cancel culture, it’s seen as evil. I’m gay and I don’t really care about it lol. Enjoy what u enjoy. reply
It can be harmful to simpletons who have no ability for independent thought. People like you give me the willies. It’s like you’re the product of a union between Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the novel 1984. reply
I agree with the depictions of gay couplings. Sometimes I do get annoyed at the way ukes are way too feminine, almost depicting that bottoms are only reserved for people that are female-like and semes are for masculine people. Also with the depiction of denial as well. It’s such a common trope that MCs are so annoyingly up their denial of homosex...... 2 reply
there's always been this problem with yaoi and bl where readers who can't differentiate fiction and real life tend to fetishize gay people and homosexual relationships right? I also agree that this is a problem and people should stop doing this, but i've been thinking, aren't yaoi and bl just the same as any romance story, but with homosexual characters? Then, have we been fetishizing heterosexual relationships too as we read shoujo and romance stuff? not trying to offend anyone, just had this thought in the shower .-. i'm sorry if my wording is kinda off
'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
