I really hate how so many BL authors see having sex as being ‘conquered’. I guess it fits with all the dub-con and rape elements in a lot of yaoi.

It’s always the bottom who’s ’conquered’ and I have a couple of reasons why I think that is. But associating sex with ‘conquering’ means that you’re touching someone who says no. Cause if both parties agree that’s not ‘conquering’.

Like is it the market?? Do gay relationships in manga only sell if there’s rape/dub-com?? Do authors think people enjoying sex isn’t sexy??? Like I don’t understand??

Cherry Magic, Given, Yuri on Ice have all done financially well. What am I missing? It’s so confusing trying to figure out why so many authors can’t write sex scenes.

    Oh my god, agreed!!
    Like is it THAT hard?
    Why do they have to make something that can obviously can be better, play out in the least comfortable way ever???
    And not the ignorance of romanticizing rape-
    Authors r on fucking "wild" spree with their comics and people really feed it too much.
    Like the amount of bl animes that suck and don't even deserve to be that famous
    Being famous only because they are one of the few that exist...like gosh guys WE CAN DO BETTER

    It's simple, almost every author just copies each other.

    That is also why we keep seeing over and lver again body reactions that just dont happen in real life but somehow always comes back in BL. For example
    - Losing their strenght when the bottom is excited...... Do you realize how stupid that is ? We, men, do not lose the ability to stand when horny.
    - Bsckpain after sex. If it hurts like they show in mangas, you got assaulted. Go to a doctor.
    - Bottom's ass getting tighter becausd they like it.....thatz the opposite of reality...
    - cumming from being licked in the ass.....do i even need to explain how crazy that is?

    .and so much more.... Its just misinformation being recycled over and over again
