i think hakdo genuinely has feelings for sangho. this is not ur cliche high school bl about gay awakenings and first times and blushy blushy fun. they are grown men with lots of prior dating experience, they most likely arent going to be stuttering blushing messes around each other like how you would see in most bl. seeing how a lot of yall are struggling to digest a realistic mlm relationship really shows the way u view mlm through an idealistic (dare i say, fetishised) lens.

    agreed with u until the end lol, u know that most of the users here are <20 yo so it makes sense they see *any* (not just bl) romance as blushy and awkward. nothing wrong w preferring those stories too.. anyway this couple was cute.

    thank u for bringing that to my attention cos ur absolutely right
    my comment was more pertaining to ppl who found issue with the fact that there is no explicit "seme" or "uke" in the relationship and that they didnt get their standard fairytale bl ending

    Ah that! Really! We should educate the smaller ones better, a lot of readers think completely binarily like that, and don't know that dynamics change, and that being the one who inserts, the one who takes it in, the top or the bottom are by no means set in stone (and don't mean the same thing) and that a lot, if not most, couples switch

    And educate the authors at the same time, seeing a story in which they switch, and in which sex isn't all about pistoning your partner as fast as possible with him yelling "Nooo, nooooo!" under you


    Btw, if someone has good switch manga to recommend I'm desesperately searching for some

    Its rly not our responsibility to educate children on sex. Nor to educate the authors, which is just a rude concept (espc on an illegal website where u read their work for free). They can write whatever story they want. Switching isn’t as common as you think irl either.

    I wasn't talking litterally, how could you do that anyway, I don't know how that'd work, it was a figure of speech. But no matter how rude I may come off, I still think a lot of authors need to be educated on consent, just like a lot of people need too

    As a gay guy I disagree on the last sentence.
    It's not idealize a mlm relationship, it's just that some people like stories (manga, eastern comics, films, books and so on) with an happy ending and with the couple being exclusive to each other.
    You should apply it to every comic that hasin it's plot romance: bl, shoujo and gl
    And it isn't about being not mature enough to understand real relationship dynamics, wich I hardly belive you can teach ithen through mangas, but it's like enjoying content that has the purpose to entertain and be likeable.

    Last but not least: "fetishize" is not the right term, maybe "idealize" but I don't think people fetishize gays by reading BL wich is just as GL or cis het comics.

    nah some people do—like they find BL turns them on, but they find actual gay men make them uncomfortable/gross. or, they’re like f*g hags, which is an awful term but it’s a very real thing
