This is fucking horrible, like we go on about red flag semes and dubcon in bl, but when you have a character who’s been raped and depict that trauma and ptsd and then make the seme into sometimes a red flag, sometimes a green flag, but then actually make him a fucking monster, and then realistically (based on all the other BLs) have the audacity to do a “redemption” arc and fall in love blah blah bullshit. I understand this is fiction, but I’m sure there’s a lot of people on here who’ve experienced SA like me and think this goes further than the average bl, sorry for the rant
I know that yaoi is severely lacking “switch” roles, and I’ve seen people moan about beefy ukes, but can we please appreciate the uke being taller and overall larger than the seme?!
Like I understand that in BL universe there’s almost a set guide, you have smaller ukes, which are supposed to represent “feminine” even though that can perpetuate misogyny, or you have “beefy” muscular ukes. Body diversity is severely lacking, as well as the defined “top” and “bottom” sexual roles, which of course does not entirely represent the gay community.
However, it’s rare to have an uke who is taller and overall larger, and I for one am extremely enjoying seeing the body differences!
I know that they’re probably dirty asf, but can we all appreciate how hot it is when the seme gives head?! And swallows…
