Just an observation

Is it just me or is there usually some pedophilic characters in bl stories related to anything artistic like theatre or ballet or this story for example. Like why is it so common??...you can make characters a dancer/painter etc without having them experience the predatory shit no?

    true, but predation is unfortunately common in many fields (especially dance and sports). i don't think its wrong to portray those situations, but i agree that sometimes you wanna read a fluffy, light story. i recommend "senpai, danjite koidewa!" (animators), "bokura no shokutaku" (cooking), "hello green days" (plants), and ch 3-5 in "ai to hanaji" (painting). 100% fluff!

    Japan has a history with pedophile (it's
    a modern realisation but ancient Japanese viewed it differently) ....I think you should check out more on this and yes it's also closely related to theatre and art culture .....so I'd say it reflects alot on morden setting as well....

    I was thinking about this too especially about the how rampant it is in the ballet industry
