Ohh now I understand why I felt sad for the uke.
"I'm gay myself and I kinda close my eyes a lot on some of the ideas that may show up in BL just to be able to enjoy it on a very basic level..."
Same. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Tbh I never read the author notes, except from a few I admire. Your comment made me go back to read and you're absolutely right. I, too, overlook a lot for the sake of enjoying yaoi, but whenever there's harmful ideas for the community, as said by authors in specific details and with strong conviction as this one, I find it gross and so wrong. #－.－)
You are totally right. Thanks for the rant!
And this idea only reproduction can lead to a will to live. That's so wrong on so many levels. Getting worled up again...
After reading the author's note I feel a bit grossed out and offended. I'm gay myself and I kinda close my eyes a lot on some of the ideas that may show up in BL just to be able to enjoy it on a very basic level, since reading manga has become somewhat of a habit to me. But getting to read such harmful ideas coming directly from the author and explaining things that to uneducated people might help make sense of the story and thus being ideas they will keep carrying with them, continuously thinking of those who are gay as sad people who will never truly be able to achieve happiness and will always be lesser than straight people. Sorry for my rant but I needed to get these thoughts out of my head.
