I literally agree all of your statements. In fact, this story is one of the I consider a classical yaoi. Promise, I like the theme but I do not like the characterization. One instance is the pairing.
In fact, most of the characters are STRAIGHT being paired for each other. I seriously hate it.
Another is the fucking sort of homophobia of that fucking character.
Lmao I agree with you and it concerns me. We've literally got to a point the semes we think are not downright pieces of garbage are literally the bear seme, who actually raped the uke in the beginning (if I remember right) and the Yandere surgeon seme, who planned to impregnate the uke for years to get a hold of him, and was even planning to force him to abort when he thought the child wasn't his. That's how low our standards got for the pairings of this manga, can't help but find it tragically funny.
Except the bear seme and the yandere surgeon seme, all the other Semes were just downright piece of garbages. I am honestly surprised their ukes stayed with them despite everything. All the time while reading the stories i prayed that the ukes would grow some backbone and have even self respect to dump the seme, even if its for a short while to teach them a lesson. The main uke was dumber than a shoujo manga heroine and it literally hurt my head to see him acting so dumb and spineless everytime. This manga contained some of the most toxic couples i've seen in bls. Kunimasa is now in my top 3 shitty seme list. I kept expcting that he would have some character development but he honestly got worse as the story went on. If this was real life, his and the other ukes would be getting LOTS of therapy.
What is it with manga authors and their ukes/semes? Literally all of them have semes that complete assholes and ukes that are so weak, spinless and without an ounce of self respect. Easily accepting cheating by their seme, being mistreated, being raped, being abused physically, mentally, verbally and emotionally. Rape and sexual assaults are so easily brushed off like nothing. I have read more than a thousand bls over the years and this concept still surprises me. I don't understand why these things are so normalised even if its fiction. More so because its fiction, you have the power to create a story/character according to your wish. Maybe its a difference in culture but it still astonishes me, even after all these years of reading bl.
Worse part is i can't stop reading despite all this. I am so used to it now that i have become desensitised. To me seeing an uke being raped or horribly mistreated seems so normal now when a few years back i would stay up nights thinking about it. I love bl so much but i wish this culture of normalizing rape and abuse would stop. For once i wish to read a story where the abuser actually gets punished or pay the consequences for their actions. But stories like that are so rare and hard to find.
