As a gay person myself, I don't think that BL is more popular than straight romance. I mean it's probably more popular on this site, but overall? No. We barely get any gay rep in media so most of us are basically scouring for content lol.
I also get how most BL fans, despite being women, can be misogynistic. That is something I really don't get b...... reply
I personally dislike this AO3 tag (lol) but I have seen genuinely good manga that has mpreg. Part of me thinks tho that if they want to portray men getting pregnant, then why not make a story of a trans man? Like they literally exist but noooo let's make this sort of fucked up premise so we can impose heteronormative ideals to an explicitly queer c...... reply
I sleep at around 10 pm. 11pm-12am would be my latest hour or else I'd die. My body clock is a piece of shit that always gets up at 5:30 am no matter what time I sleep.

Sometimes I try to imagine main love interests who have sexually assaulted their "loved one" be put together in a jail. How big would that jail be? Which characters should be there?
I'll start with the teacher in Hitorijime my Hero. Bro's straight up grooming a literal child . He should be in jail.
So I came out to her months ago, told her I'm bi and non-binary. Then she brought up that she's scared of gay men since the one she met during her childhood kept on pulling her hair. She's also apparently scared of feminine gay men who likes make-up and feminine things because they're to "flamboyant". This all made me feel uncomfortable, I told her that just because one gay child was mean to you before doesn't mean that everyone will be.
Months later, we met again. She brought this shit up again. I don't want to discredit her experience with a mean person but lumping a whole marginalized group into your "bad idea" of someone is downright bigoted. I don't know how to confront her about this.
The more uncomfortable part is that she likes reading BL and would use the terms bottom and top. She even shared a gay sex meme and used those two terms. It's just so uncomfortable to witness especially when she says that she's "scared" of gay men but would actively consume media that portrays romantic and sexual relationships between men.
