I am not saying that you need to like everything and that you cannot express your dislike for something, I just feel that most of the time the way in which BL readers express their dislike for an author or manga is very pedantic, some comments are super normal ‘wow i didn’t expect this from them’ and then you have the ‘finally this dumb degenarate wrote something good’ And this is not exclusive to when they don't like a bl, because when they like one, it is always something among the lines of ‘finally something good in this garbage genre." If someone gave me money for each ‘breath of fresh air’ that I find in yaoi comments I would be a millionaire lmao
Also, people really forget that authors/creatives are multifaceted, and instead of being happy or amazed by the versatile of an author they feel betrayed /syundei or that the author ‘improved and grew as a person’ /paspaskim. and is like, authors sometimes will want to approach certain topics from different perspectives
