well straight women like men and straight men like women.... So women like yaoi cause it caters to that bad vise versa.... If your like me and bi however you can love both ╮(￣▽￣)╭
base on my friends who are straight, they mostly prefer reading bl cuz they find it weird and uncomfy seeing girls like themselves kissy kissy dovey dovey... but since I'm bi i just prefer both cuz it's cute (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Bl have 2 guys meaning it have 2 hot body that female can salivate or fantasize
As for gl,it also the same but it's apply for the male
Basically we found the opposite gender love story is more erotic and interesting/intriguing than our own gender is(〜￣△￣)〜
Welp except for the homo or bi one
They could also like too see their own gender love story(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Sorry if it's too complicated toounderstand
yeah also men where I live have this whole masculinity thing where they can't like anything even remotely femininegaynon-typical male out of the dear of being called gay
i usually read bl because i find the plots more engaging?? like its hard to find a fleshed out straight manga/manhwa that isnt just catering to males fantasy of like oh hot girl big boobs that kinda thing- like there are plenty of good shoujo romance straight manga/hwas but if im looking for smut theres like 4 i can think of ((tbh i wouldnt read yaoi/bl if there was more femdom content that wasnt literally p3d0philia or lolis lmao))
well from me as fujoshi...
BL have a good storyline and not monotonous like straight manga/ mahwa...
they have a plot that is hard to accept in the real world... so i can feel how deep the storyline...
Part of it is fetishism, like how straight men watch lesbian porn. Part of it could just be the romance aspect, since a lot of women just love romance in general. It possibly could be better to get an outsider's pov, instead of self-inserting yourself in sl. Those are the only reasons why I think a straight woman would only read Bl.
When I read gl it makes me lonely cause I put myself in the place of the mc a lot, but with bl I just feel like a spectator
Aaahh thank you to everyone for their responses! Really appreciate that you took time out of your day to drop a message
No hate to anyone just an open discussion from what I’ve just seen around :
Why would most straight women rather consume BL instead of GL ? Can it be compared to how most straight guys would rather read GL instead of BL?
Any thoughts/opinions/critics etc
