Urgh, I'm so sorry!!!! I meant to +1 your comment!
I really I agree with what you said, and I believe that a huge pitfall with the yaoi fandom is that everyone wants this fairy tale relationship with fidelity all the time, and it's not always like that.
No problem! Happens to me too, it's so annoying that you can't change it.
And it's nice to have you agree. A lot of people just tell me "then don't read",´. Ugh. I like yaoi, sometimes it's just a bit too unrealistic.
True
I wish people would give Takao more of a shot. I think you can see him outgrow cheating but he needed to get over his sexual identity which Yoshinaga intentionally stole from him.
I'm sorry but if it was the seme who behaved this way, cheated and all you all would sing a different tune. This constant ''defending of the uke'' is by the female audience is quite hypocritical
On the contrary, I would love to see the seme cheat. Speak for yourself and not in general.
I see a lot of comments about how people don't like Takao or that Yoshinaga deserves better, but I disagree a bit.
Takao isn't sincere at all or faithful. But everybody knows it and he's quite happy that way. He likes/loves Yoshinaga in his own childish way (doesn't want to share, wants attention from him, relies on him). He does improve a bit as the story continues.
But let's look at Yoshinaga. He loves Takao. No doubt about it and he is very possessive. BUT! He knows Takao. He knows he loves breasts and he knows that Takao isn't the faithful sort. He knew what he was in for in pursuing him. SO he's trying to change Takao. And I think most know how it often goes when you try to change people. Not well. Yoshinaga knows it's an up-hill battle, which is why I think he doesn't leave Takao for cheting.
Also thier first time seems like it might've been rape, but with yaoi that is pretty common:

Anyways, I'm not trying to justify Takao, but Yoshinaga isn't the saint some of you make him out to be either (though he does have gorgeous hair). I think they both have some pretty major "faults".
