I’ve been here since the beginning, aka I read this in middle school now I’m in my second year of college, the vibes are not here. The over sexualization of the feminine body, rape, force pregnancy, kidnapping and abuse, I find it crazy that this comic use to be one of my go to for comfort. That within its self shows the mental state that I was in and how much I’ve grown since then. I don’t really like any of the couples. It all feels weird to me. That it’s forced upon the audience. Stories like this give BL such a bad reputation. BL needs to step away from abuse, rape and sexual assault/ harassment because it does affect some readers (many which are young women) perspectives on how they’re romantic and sexual relationships should be.

    dark romance has existed since forever.
    i think a bigger concern in bl specifically is how it portrays gay relationships.
    with its "gender rolls" and how the bottom is basically supposed to represent a woman with being feminine and delicate and helpless.
    any time i see a bl like that it gives me the ick.

    Ummm this is not a dark romance. I’ve read a lot of dark romance, many of which are BLs. I’m not sure why you said that. Also most dark romances have pages on pages of TW/CW. But I do agree with the gender roles.
