Oh same (same age), I don't read HS content anymore, it don't find them interesting either. It has to have ages 20+ characters or I never start
Oh thank god,, i was worried, since everyone in the anime community is really comfortable with that. (Mostly reddit) and i know that I was a teenager and really enjoyed them. It's weird to have that shift. Guess that happens in age.
I'm much older and although I don't read as much HS yaoi or yaoi as I used too, I never really had an issue with it. HS-->HS isn't a problem as I know realistically teenagers are going to experiment sexually, so reading about it isn't so shocking to me. I may no longer relate to their teen angst, but I can empathize with their budding sexual desires/frustrations and all the feelings that come within that difficult age range.
My biggest issue is (was) HS -->Adult and it's not just BL/Yaoi, I have this problem with Hetero relationships too. Less about grooming more like: mentally, physically, financially, and sexually you're not in the same place. And, yes, as an author, you could use those points as drama, but I'm not a fan of the power imbalance such relationships will in occur as they try to date one another.
Nope, I’m a bit younger than you and idrc because they aren’t real. I pretty much agree with PmChivas. Although I did stop reading it because I don’t find the HS setting to be interesting.
I definitely can't read if it has an adult with a high-schooler. Super bad vibes. That's a very fair point, teenagers definitely do sexual things, sometimes it just feels like too much. But definitely bad with a power dynamic!
Fair,, I've seen that take a lot. Do you take that thought process with other media? I think too much about how the characters act and feel. Sometimes even look to deeply. I can't seem to turn that off and just enjoy. *Example; I was highly critical over the representation of the gay character in PowerRangers. People hate watching things with me.
I'll read ones with like cute little kisses and stuff if they're highly rated but the second it shows smut or just super sexual situations with someone under 18 I instantly dip out.
Like with live action stuff? Seeing 18+ scenes in live action makes me uncomfortable because I’m ace. For some reason I just don’t feel that way with anime/manga. I tend not to overthink about the media I watch tho.
Does anyone else have a problem reading manga with them in high-school? Specifically yaoi (or anything sexual) ? I'm 25 I found this site when i was 11? Possibly 12. I know i made an actual account when I was 13 (that's when the feature was added). It just feels odd now. I just pretend that they are college kids. Anyone else having this issue? Well i guess it's good thing. I wonder how people are able to even draw this. Cause my face is permanently at a
