Honestly idk why my preferences for stories are also BL. Ever since i discovered the genre and went down the rabbit hole, i can't seem to escape now i guess i have to admit i like seeing men interact with each other in a romantic way (also platonic) and somehow it just seems to appeal me. Sometimes its also the plot cuz there are REALLY good BLs out there with outstanding writing and plot. I also read GL from time to time but i wouldn't say I'm invested in the genre as I am with BL. But it can be tiring sometimes so I go out of my comfort zone to read something different.
You shouldn’t only consume yaoi bc it gets to a point where you are fetishizing gay man but I also can tell that you are young and this also could do to the fact that you might have internalized misogyny that’s why you feel more comfortable with a male protagonist but feel uncomfortable with women falling in love.
Mainly for people who are mostly or only yaoi readers, or are mostly/only yuri readers. But anyone who reads yaoi and yuri can answer. I don’t read yuri, just yaoi. For me, it’s honesty a shallow reason. I just like men, and yaoi is nothing BUT men. And…I admit…I’m a gooner T_T
