PERIOD IMA READ THIS JUST CUZ OF THIS COMMENT
FREEENNN when I tell you I was surprised seeing a community that is MAJORLY against switches talking about how they want a switch couple and it’s always under bls/yaoi with black and brown characters in a submissive position I said “hmmmm something is happening here”
Exactlyyy, and I think most of the commenters complaining are either not blac/white (no shade), or dealing with their own internalized biases against black people/poc. When a black character becomes a bottom, it challenges traditional power dynamics and assumptions about race and masculinity that some readers have internalized. The comments are so defensive here but look at any other comment section with a racially ambigous masculine bottom and you don't see any of this "switch couples are so rare" rhetoric. Lets be honest majority of bl/yaoi characters are very racially ambigous despite being east asian, majority of media they consume automatically includes and centers white ppl, and on a yaoi site where majority here are girls idealizing themselves into the uke role, they automatically can't when faced with a black bottom because its not relatable to them bcs of their own stereotypes towards black ppl, (ive seen this with south asians too commonly being depicted and barbaric and manly).

Zain said “black queens forever snowbunnies never” and also there’s a reason why yall want rahil and zain to be a switch couple or for rahil to be the top #colorism cuz some of yall genuinely see black people ESPECIALLY dark skinned black people as too aggressive and masculine to be in a submissive position or to even be taken care of by their partner and yes i said black cuz it’s obvious rahil is black all of yalls “preference” is just colorism and anti blackness cuz let’s be honest yall lying and saying there aren’t a lot of switch couples when in reality there are. in reality there aren’t a lot of bls/gls with black and brown characters regardless of their sexual position.
