I have a phobia of asteroids, and a fear of dusk, dawn and the night sky. I had a night terror one night that was of the world ending. Asteroids rained down on the earth and we could do nothing to stop it. I died and the night terror was over but for whatever reason when I have a night terror the pain always lingers. I had a night terror of a zombi...... reply
Hi! I am 16, bisexual, and an ambivert, although I can be more on the shy side at times. I also like yaoi and anime. I would love to be friends! 2 reply
BL is targeted to straight girls, yes. It's unrealistic, yes.
Just like how lesbian porn is targeted towards straight dudes. It's not realistic either.
And don't forget about hentai, how realistic is hentai?
People are so quick to point "YOU ARE FETISHIZING GAY MEN HOW DARE YOU" to people who enjoy BL. While most of my friends who DO read BL varie...... 2 reply
As a bi male, I've been around BL since the late 90's and for me personally it depends on the mangaka and the era when the manga was released. Yes there is a fetishism of the characters involved especially in more recent mangas of the last 15 years. I personally dislike the "i'm straight but only will like a guy because it's you" vibe but that has ...... reply
well, it's like a romance comedy lmao, we're in the same theater class. she's taller than me and has a boyish haircut. I know her for so long before, it was like I hate her for 5 years. I always thought she's an arrogant and ignorant people, even all my friends always talk bad about her and I believed them. but then we met like destiny. we met at t...... 2 reply
(bi guy here), considering that most bl is written by straight women, it is not very realistic. but it can still be interesting to read. there's a lot of harmful stereotypes within the stories though, and it usually does not make for good representation (like you said). straight people don't understand that bl is not reality. gay people exist and a...... 3 reply
It does make me sick as well. It is so cringey when people fetishize ppl in the lgbtq community, when they are straight especially. Unfortunately a good chunk of the BL community are horny girls that don’t get enough dick and spend too much time on their phones. I personally set BL in their OWN world. I do not associate BL with real life. I know ...... 1 reply
i’m a lesbian who enjoys reading stories about lgbt+ people whether if they’re gay men or lesbians but what makes me mad the most is the lack of gay characters in bl, dont get me wrong the whole point of bl is boys being gay but when you come down to their actual sexualities the majority of characters are attracted to the opposite sex which BUT...... reply
I read it for the sex mainly, not to look for ways to be offended. In short, I enjoy reading BL in general and if there happens to be a series the rubs me the wrong way, I drop it, simple as that.
As the saying goes, different strokes for different folks. I may like a series you don’t; life goes on.
BTW, I’m asexual. 1 reply
Well when you look at earlier titles and some titles today there are aspects of it that ain’t all right. But the bl genre is getting better at not doing that kind of thing. There of corse is the non consensual titles with graphic scenes, but for 10 of those there’s a love stage(btw love stage is this hella cute shounen ai story and I don’t fa...... reply
u h m. lmao, uhm im not supossed to be answering i guess XD, but still Aromantic even tho im straight sorry. but i love BL, idc if the story is a yaoi or shounen ai, i love them both! well, ofc i have preferences like not reading shota-con because why tf would i want to read such cute babies doing the devil's tango. Or trying to track down all of H...... reply
I hate most of the BL fans. I’m okay with reading it for fun but some fans will actually see yaoi as representation. They are really the worst kind of people. 1 reply
Living that single pan life here. I don't know I just like looking at things with intimacy, I don't really care if its bl or gl or like anything in between because I don't really mind I just want to interesting relationships. Also Idk man I know it's like annoying to say this, but like yaoi is literally porn and bl is emotional porn. Relationships...... reply
If it disgusts you so much, then what are you doing on this site, anyway? If it doesn't appeal to you, then it doesn't appeal to you, but I'd encourage you to read more BL to get a better picture and broader scope of the many different types of stories in the genre. There are plenty of people who write BL and GL, and there are a good number who are...... 2 reply
I grew up with this kinda stuff and i realised i was gay thru it (still not sure whether that is a good thing). some of the shit i read is messed up and i hope to god people dont think that real gay guys do the same things. holyyy shit i wish i could tell my younger self to not read certain titles. certain trends such as omegaverse make me feel rea...... reply
pansexual chick here. Bl and yaoi can be nice to read/watch but it fucking sucks as representation because it’s not meant to be representation. Bl and yaoi are written by mostly straight woman and are meant to be enjoyed as stories and fantasies- they’re not meant to mirror reality. When viewed as nothing but a fantasy, I don’t find anything ...... 3 reply
Hey :) I'm 18 and female (straight). I literally love all of the manga and anime you just mentioned, so i would love to be friends ^^ I also have whatsapp and Line. My Line ID is: o-mochii 1 reply
Usually i read bls and gls to see who I identify with and usually it is the tops but recently I have been watching some sm content and moore recently pegging and I like it a lot. I dont care about genders, being a dom is my priority and kinky shit is my jam... I don't read only bl and gl tho, I read everything honestly 1 reply
fujos like to consume media portraying harmful and false stereotypes for actual living gay men and the refuse to educate themselves when people call them out for it. what they want to feed their gross delusions and fantasies that they see in bl, they think relationships of gay men are always beautiful because that's what they see being portrayed in...... 1 reply
i don't really like the noncon aspects of it (it's called boys love not boys rape), but sometimes you can find the good bls that have character arcs and development, and actual plot outside the main couple. that's honestly what got me into bl, because i was searching for representation of the community, but unfortunately there's just a lot of gross...... reply
'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!
