Its 30th October here. Anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I started reading BL long ages ago, at the same time I discover Josei, after I got extremely tired with Shoujo, probably when I was 18? I dont think I am too old to be on this site since well, but sometimes when I read comments that sound so entitled or comments that are selfish, I do feel old.
I don’t know when I discovered the genre (some years ago, but I wasn’t very interested), but it was only this year that I started reading shounen ai and yaoi. A friend of mine recommended bj alex and directed me to this website. I loved it and wanted to see more, so I decided to explore this further. Because of the quarantine I went to town here ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭. Now I’m here everyday checking the updates and trying to find new stories, since I still have a lot of free time.
Although I knew the genre existed I didn’t knew about the variations of it, that I only discovered this year while looking for stuff to read.
But why do you ask? Just curiosity?
oh yes, its a great way to run away from reality. I am the type to read everything, not heavily focused to one genre and i dont think you're late to the party at all. The community has grown compared to years ago where we were looked down upon and often be told that we were fetishizing gays. Most of old works really dealt with LQBT+ issues and only more recent works are racy and spicy iykwim
Honestly I ask mostly out of curiosity & just trying to make small talk. For me i just discovered that webtoons, manhwas etc. Existed like maybe 3 months ago & idk how I never came across it because its wonderful .
Also majority of the time I'm on here I come across some ridiculous comments that make me remember I'm old af & everyone thinks differently at certain ages. Although some get it & others are lost causes... but yeah its out of curiosity. Thanks for responding.
I read everything too... well mostly things that peek my interest it depends what I'm in the mood for. But I'm glad that in some ways the world is finally changing & excepting people for who they are. The constant labeling & stereotypes is annoying. But for the most part I'm happy that they're people who are in the boat with me cruising through all different types of stories.
Just out of curiosity anyone in their early 20s on here?
