I don't like how the majority of GL is sweet and delicate while the majority of BL is hard and aggressive. It's just so stereotypical, isn't it? I also despise the terms "seme" and "uke." If you get what I mean, it's like saying "man" and "woman." The ”seme” is frequently given masculine characteristics, whilst the ”uke” is given feminine characteristics. It's horrible how heteronormative everything is.
I'm not sure about GL, but I believe the majority of BL is written by heterosexual women for heterosexual women. They have no idea about the true lifestyle, experiences, and hardships that homosexual men face, so it's only natural that their content portrays them incorrectly. It's a terrible representation.
To add to my previous point, gay sex is far more complicated than "seme" and "uke," but they obviously have no idea.
There's more than enough stories with realistic portrayal of mlm bruh...almost all mainstream bls nowadays are realistic nowadays

We can't actually blame anyone because in the first place BL was a shoujo subgenre made for women. And this happend ages ago around the 1950's Its true that habits are die hard especially since its been decades since these terms and the actually image of BL was established. I do think that mlm relationship or anything gay to be specific were completely portrayed differently than how it is in real life and cannot represent the irl actions of
The LGBTQ+ but I I think that most stories nowadays have evolved from that. But I also do think that some stories are way of mark but we actually need to remember that BL/Yaoi/Shounen Ai wasn't created to represent the LGBTQ+ mad the mlm relationship in anyway because in the first place it was made as a form of reading entertainment.
Mad* is actually and*
And to add to that everything is completely fiction that's why people use terms and other derogatory labels.
Please respond if you can, as I am in desperate need of inspiration right now lol
