    I heard that it was just like yaoi but like for men because it’s a more like masculine art style but I don’t know for real it just what I read

    I've just searched it up and its a jap manga for gay and bisexual men. So i dont know how its insulting in any way. Its just like yaoi but directed to a specific audience. I still dunno tho. Maybe some os insulted by it?

    I don't know... yaoi is more preferred by women; bara I don't know, all I know is that the genre has shown that, in the ones about story and love, it's okay to be muscular, gay, and not be dominant; it helps gays that way be more comfortable about the stereotypes of gays being feminine and the like; I didn't think it was a bad thing
