Reading some yaoi author's content usually have me thinking about how not everything in life can be categorised into black and white I.e. Good or bad. Some things are in between due to bad circumstances that occurred but some of the audience here fail to realise that. They just read superficially and pass harsh judgements.

When I started reading yaoi, I always feel weird when the bottom is seen as the woman of the relationship or if he drawn in a feminine like way. It makes me feel weird because I know he is a man, so why make him a girl. And most times, the bottoms are always forced to bottom which is something that turns me off. I like when they ask not just assume.....

Yeah I agree. I wish switch couples was more of a thing in yaoi because if you're gonna make one person always the bottom to be like a woman, then you might as well just draw straight smut. I also hate it when they make the seme think something like, "oh he does this like a girl" or "he looks like a girl" when he's clearly a man

Yes I get that, totally, and I agree! However, Fujoshi isn’t an automatically bad term. It simply means a woman who enjoys BL (so like you and I). But of course, there are bad ones. Please just be educated on the term! It is a form of cultural appropriation against Japan and its language to make it have a bad meaning :)

Please don't assume my gender and ethnicity. I'm aware of the term's meaning but in reality even those who claim they aren't problematic indulge in omegaverse and other very heteronormative yaoi that are largely written by straight women for the sexual satisfaction of straight women just like lesbian porn is largely directed by males for straight males.
That isn't to say non-fetishistic BL or fujoshis don't exist but reading the comments on this website, it is so so clear this isn't the case.

Personally, I don't like to use the term fujoshi to refer to myself or anyone else, but I'm aware that a lot of people who do use the term to refer to themselves are probably not aware of the true meaning behind fujoshi and think it's a term simply referring to "a women who likes BL". So I don't think all people who use the term fujoshi are bad people or fetishize real gay men, but I do think you should learn what it actually means instead of ignorantly using the term.

literally japanese people have said not to do this. here is a link with ACTUAL JAPANESE SOURCES (which you don’t have a SINGLE ONE, while this one has many). educate yourself before said stupid shit like this. don’t compare this to the lesbian slur, as a lesbian. don’t put an innocent word on the same fucking level. god this pisses me off. using that to fuel your argument.

I love yaoi. In terms of art my ranking goes like this
Korean manhwa, Chinese manhua and Japanese manga.
In terms of content
Japanese manga(those ones be deep), Chinese manhua(there are some deep quality content if only translated properly) then korean manhwa(the art and the men are always drawn beautifully... The content are annoying these days with the rape and all)
In terms of smut quality
Korean manhwa(A+ for the authors), Japanese manga(smut is nice too) then Chinese manhua(little or no smut... Sad).
Let me know yours too....

~ Generally ~
Art:
> Manhwa
> Manhua
> Manga
Manhwas are normally fully coloured and have very consistant and appealing visuals more often than not. Manhuas are also usually fully coloured and have great art. Mangas are more often than not B&W and sometimes the characters are thin to the point where it looks like they will break T-T. But this is not always true..
Story:
> Manga
> Manhwa
>Manhua
Like you said, mangas normally have great storylines, even the mangas I read usually only have 5-6 chapters on average, they still give such wonderful story/plot. Manhwas are second for me, because they never cease to amaze me with unique storylines and lovable characters. Manhuas often come across as cringy and extreme for me in terms of storyline (but there are exceptions of course!).
Smut:
> Manhwa
> Manga
> Manhua
Manhwas smuts are absoulutely (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ since there are longer manhwas than mangas, the smut has a wide variety and you get to see the same characters do all types of things with one another. Mangas also have gre~at smut, though in B&W, its sometimes better that way. As for manhuas, I don't actually remember reading a manhua with smut, so they would rank the lowest obviously.

Actually for me it depends mostly on the art and plot line.
With manga, the story is usually interesting but at times the black and white style hurts my eyes.
The smut ...well it might be an unpopular opinion but I'm actually getting sick of seeing it in every single chapter in manga. Like many of the popular yaoi manga (jonjou, dakaichi etc) use this.
Manhwa...I would say it is the best form of yaoi comparing all aspects. The plotline is usually really good( never understand, star x fan boy) and some even have smut !!!( painter of the night ). Art is very easy to follow and its coloured as a bonus.
Manhua ...I am very conflicted here. Many, many manhua are goddamn awful. Both in plot line and art. Awful and super cringey. I would have said that manhua are not worth your time if not for the rare gems of manhua that are avaliable. ( mdzs, tgcf etc). So I feel when it comes to manhua it depends upon the company and the artist who draws the yaoi. Like if the story is super popular and really good then expect the manhua to be awesome.

I see yaoi manga authors coming up with another genre of yaoi which is similar to omegaverse, dom and sub. I don't understand why because it's just like another name of omegaverse expect this one doesn't deal with biting and all. But the sub still feels inferior to the dom and are affected by dom's aura.... They go through test that tells them they are sub and dom. And the sub have miserable lives just like omegas.....

I came across one here, I can't remember the name. It's about a violent guy that meet his gentle roommate. Apparently the violent guy is a sub and he doesn't know but when he met the sub he couldn't resist obeying his commands. So the dom commands him to stay still and rapes him so he can desist from his violent ways. The dom even gave him a collar.

yeah there's some djs on mrm but I've only seen bhna+ one other, here's the link

Why can't other yaoi authors be like cherry blossom after winter author.... No rape.... No violence... There is consent, love, fluff, smut...... It is a total package.... Pretty characters too.....taesung is so considerate... He is not pushy....and apologizes if he is wrong.... Tired of rape.... I don't want to get used to it at all....

Guys I am confused. two guys are having sex then the bottom says stop and freaks out. He didn't say anything before they started the act but during the act. Is that rape?

Before the act, a person should ask the other if it's okay.
If the permission is given, then they do the deed
but if someone says to stop, then the other person should stop.
If permission was given before and suddenly the person panicked and they stopped, it's not rape.
If they continue despite the protest, yes it is rape.

If your partner has those tendencies then it's better to talk about it beforehand and decide on some other "safe words".
I know that safe words often are used in BDSM so they might feel like something strange, but in vanilla sex you can also use safe words, for example "red/yellow/green", red means to immediately stop, yellow to slow down and green to continue.
And yes, unfortunately a lot of romance stuff has rape which isn't discussed well in those mangas.

Please don't develop your morals around yaoi. Very few are realistic to how life is. Having sex with someone who's asleep is rape, continuing to have sex with someone who is telling you stop is rape. They are not real and shouldn't be taken as life lessons or manuals on relationships and sex. There is so much toxicity in these stories.

I know and I get your point. But I was trying to explain that it doesnt matter what kind of relationship youre in, since the person I replied to said that it would be "unfair" for the seme in a "normal relationship". However, no means no and stop means stop. But if the person wont listen to these words, then its rape. It doesnt matter whether youre in a lovely relationship or you have no connection to the pereson at all.

Yeah, that's why I didn't try to correct you or anything, I just added to it in case it needed to be said clearly for some people. ^^
So, in general: if any person stops giving their consent during intercourse and the other doesn't stop, it is rape.
If they stop, the one who wanted to stop shouldn't be in any way shamed, and the other shouldn't feel it is unfair and instead, try to find out what was wrong and try to resolve the problem.

It's rape if the other partner doesn't care and keeps going.
Let's just remember though that Yaoi, or any of these "romance" stories, are full of either the "warm & fuzzies," or "trials & tribulations." It's for the sake of the drama that some of those situations are put in there. It's to raise readership and sales. But in real life, no. Real life will have you arrested and tried as a sex offender and you'll have all those rights you took for granted taken away from you, even after you serve time.
What do you think about Tops and bottoms..... I really don't like when they label it. And they should ask what their preference is instead of just forcing someone to be a bottom. And why is being a Top important... People makes it seem like being a top is the best thing and being a bottom is a bad thing
This is why I like reverse couples the most ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ Btw I absolutely hate when the uke is small skinny shy and seme is tall , muscular... (︶︿︶)=凸
Fr. Like, just make them both normal, more realistic. It's supposed to be boyxboy but when you make one more feminine it ruins the point. I prefer switch couple but if one of the ML doesn't like it then it's ok. But I dislike it sm when they put in the stereotype of the cold, badass guy being the seme and stuff. And then the shy, 'cute guy' bottom. Just make them both normal without cliche shit. ( ̄へ ̄)
yeaaah that’s why I dropped love is an illusion. the uke looks like a small child and the seme looks twice his age
Yeah i know, but even when they look like it the story is sometimes better then the actual fuck (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ XDDdd
