Yaoi manga tropes

Kanye West April 7, 2016 1:54 pm

I only started reading BL manga earlier this year but I've already noticed some common tropes.
1) seme is half-white... bonus points for being half-French
2) seme and uke are "brothers" (but not REAL brothers) who grow up together
3) seme is a straight player but gay only for the uke
4) in love triangles, the douchebag is almost always the one to get the uke
5) rich handsome seme, poor normal uke
6) seme is a rapey asshole, uke goes along with it because he dont love haself
7) seme and uke hook up thanks to alcohol and angst afterward about ~what it means~
feel free to contribute to this list!!

    If I can't have you no one can have you
    Yaoi hands
    Self lubricating buttholes
    Family of 8 boys will not have a single straight one
    A company full of men, all gay
    If you're famous you're also possessive
    If you're yakuza you're also posessive
    I'm sure there's more

    I think it's pretty much "if you're a seme you're possessive" lmao

    omg the self-lubricating anus kills me tho. I've had my fair share of buttsex (shame me IDGAF) and even with lube it hurts like hell.... don't even wanna think about having a raw meatstick shoved in me. Shudder.

    Lol yeeeah quite often...theres a few that aren't. But the actors ans the yakuza are often the two that go overboard

    Oooh another one, a seme is always prepared to have an uke tied up at any given moment without struggle bam full bondage gear

    Ugh yeah I don't think yaoi should be a how to Manuel lol

    Oh right
    Don't touch my stuff *grabs uke*

    KikiBee April 7, 2016 3:06 pm

    in threesome or more (lol) they make it look like that double penetration is easy.. like "hey i wanna put it in too! *puts it in without any prep >.< )

    uke is always the ugly one, with insecurities, with problems

    seme always have a massive fat d*ck.. haha! i didnt see any manga where the uke have large size or at least same size with seme.. the uke always have mini thin d*ck.. lol

    Um.. Not really.. I think it depends on the mangaka too.
    Well, I still agree some with you.. HA+

    they get into a fight, seme is jealous, he pushes uke on the bed and gets all rapey (because there's no other way for a person to show their feelings), uke screams that he doesn't want it that way, seme gets depressed, uke feels sorry for him and they make love. - this was part of least 1/4 yaoi that i've read.

    oh, and you can freely have sex in your office or in the empty classroom, nobody's gonna come ( ̄∇ ̄")

    in threesomes they also make what I call a sandwich where the most uke-like person is at the very bottom, the second uke is inside him and on top of him is the most seme like person who is also penetrating the middle person. I've always wondered how the person at the very bottom doesn't feel pain from two other people on top of him with their full weight. If it were me I'd be crushed so bad I wouldn't be able to breathe

    and oh this has nothing to do with the topic but Kanye, didn't know you read yaoi lol. Don't you already have Kim and your kids? They're not enough? XD

    No STDs for gay people
    if you are half white and you kiss somebody on the lips - everybody thinks it's a weird foreign greeting
    most of the time girls are dumb whores/evil bitches that just want to steal your gay boyfriend
    uke: "you don't have to be so gentle with me, i'm not a woman" often while losing his anal virginity ( ̄∇ ̄")

    I am cracking up reading all this comments xD
    There are other points too
    Uke is always so thin and actually has curves like a girl while seme is all buff
    Once seme finally gets ukes ass there will be some other person appearing to hit on uke and seme getting all jealous and fucking things up or having sex, like talk people!
    Uke will always be like stop! No! But seme doesnt care no means yes
    When you give poor uke new clothes and do his hair other than usual he will look flawless and them seme wouldnt want anybody to see his preacious uke looking so good like that
    Uke tries to be the seme(which is very rare one) and fails :)

    The uke/seme gets lonely/wants attention and so they have sex or do other sex related things with the rival of the main romantic lead to make them jealous.
    Also misunderstandings. There are always lots of misunderstandings. And no communication between the two leads. They never talk about their problems with each other. Most times I feel like going in the manga and acting as their psychologist.
