I don't get why in manga/webcomics/manhwa and manhua there are only gay couples in things that a considered bl or yaoi. I once saw an author say that she wanted to dedicate some chapters to a straight couple or have them as a B/C plot but realised that she shouldn't because the manhwa was a yaoi one.
Yeah, it's very weird, with a few exceptions most yaoi manga are set in an unrealistic universe where only gay couples exist, no straight or lesbian couples exist. No female characters even exist, or they are just in the background. While yuri manga series have male characters as well, unless the setting is an all-girls school.
The most upsetting thing for me is that bl is just that bl. There was this manga where people were arguing whether it was bl or a psychological thriller (or something like that) Why can comics just be comics of a genre that just so happens to have the two protagonist of the same sex fall in love?
I think western media does it better there isn't really a gay category it is the genre of the movie, book, comic or series that is shown and maybe they will have a "queer" lable on it well at least where I live.
In most manga and manhwa when it comes to bl the focus is just on the romance and the sex. I personally think this is better in manhua where there is a main story and it feels like the romance is a side plot just like in straight comics. So in the case of manga and manhwa whenever the plot isn't just romance and could focus on other things more or other aspects of a relationship besides the romantic aspect, people start getting confused on what to classify the manga or manhwa as.
Sorry for my long paragraphs.
They should have just write a gay black boy falling in love with a Korean guy, and the black guy is discriminated for dating a Korean guy
