Hi! I'm a gay man (technically nonbinary, but who's counting?) and I read a LOT of BL. I do enjoy it a lot! However, I also recognize that there are a lot of themes in BL that are harmful. It can be easy to say "but it's fiction", but it's also important to remember that fiction can and will shape the way we interact in the world, even unconsciou......
I'm bi, more interested in women, but I'm married to the most amazing man that I've could ever imagine I would meet. To be honest when I was younger I wasn't interested on having a relationship nor having a physical relationship (like my friends used to xd), I didn't saw myself into one. I don't know, it's weird. I was better alone, I was also not ......

Also, thank you soooooo much Cappy for the translation!!!!!!!

Keep in mind that in Japan, homosexuality acceptance is still 50/50 not because of hatred or disgust but because they are one of the countries with the lowest birthrate in the world. Society needs them to create children and Homosexual relationship can’t produce that.
I pretty much like fluffy and cute ones, so: 1. Doukyuusei (MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME) *on going 2. Hidamari ga kikoeru (I just love Taiichi and Kohei so much and the story!!) *on going 3. Shimanami Tasogare (everything about that manga is so amazing, you can see the ups and downs that the mc has, and so the other characters, I just loved this manga ......
Okay so, I'm not straignt, but I am a woman. Most of the girls reading BL manga are not straight, actually. The source I'm basing that assumption are my own friends and the people I've met though the years: all of them have at least one slash ship, only one is straight, and even she is a little blurrier down the spectrum. Anyways I figured I might......
I'm polyglot c: I speak: -French ( is my native language, born there grew up there) (96%9 -Spanish because my mom is Mexican and my dad is from Spain, so I grew up speaking both of them (70% verbs are just... Ugh!) -English I learn it because of movies, more exactly high school musical movies xD, then by my own, I'm not that good tho xdxd (70%) -Ja......
I lost it last year when I was 18 with my boyfriend, it was very special and everything, we didn't see each other for almost a year and 8 months, he is from South Korea, so he had to go to the military, we have 5 years now together, we are living together now and soon we are going to get married! So I personally think is okay to have 26 and still......
I got married recently and lose my virginity and also my first kiss to my husband, at the age of 27. The reason I stayed virgin is because, I dont feel any needs to have sex towards others. I was in girls school until college, and when I got into a co-ed college, I dont feel attracted to them. I was questioning my sexual orientation at one point to......
I'm 15 years old...(asian) (Virgin) XD lol..here in my country, at the age of 15 up to the point where adolescences ends, people here are very conservative even if you're old enough to carry yourself. We also have the saying that goes with 'Aral muna, bago landi' and in english it's 'Study first, before flirting' or something like that....I believe......
- The classic "If you hate it so much, stop reading it" .
Or even worse: "If you hate it so much, stop reading a let other enjoy it".
Has this ever, ever made anyone actually stop criticizing or doing whatever they were doing after someone barged in the topic session demanding that others shut up with their opinions?
Or, is it possible that this only adds motivation to them? After all, nobody likes a bossy poster who tells them their opinions are shit and they should stop talking.
Think about it. People hate-watching or hate-reading a show or story is common psychology, especially if they followed and invested emotionally on it. So it's not really that simple or even expected that people just drop it. And sometimes 'hating', mocking and bashing is the only think left to clean the system out of the frustration. So to 'order' people to drop the story for your sake is pointless. And even more useless is to tell them they need to do it because of your personal enjoyment of the story is affected.
What brings the other weird point. Nobody is preventing you from enjoy the story. If you let other people's opinion dictate how much you enjoy it, then it's really your problem. It's not their job to make you feel good about reading a story. If you give this kind of power to people, they are going to use it. Nobody likes to hear bad things about stuff we like but to say 'let others enjoy it' goes a step further and actually tells them they are the ones controlling if you enjoy or not something and this sounds weak and insecure.
Last but not least, besides the basic notion that everybody can have an opinion no matter how brutal it sounds to you, there is the stupidity of the request. Comments do not have a sequence or plot and can be easily skipped. However, you can't stop reading them and making yourself upset over it. Nobody is putting a gun over your head to read comments you don't like or 'spoil' your fun. So, do you get how hypocrite, stupid and ironic the phrase 'If you hate it so much, stop reading it' sounds? When you can't even do that with simple comments that you could easily ignore?
I don't mean to offend anyone but I wonder if they notice that this kind of demand has the opposite result because once you say this to people that are already mad at a story, only gives them more incentive to trash it. Now not only they are venting about something but they know that on top of it, they can get back at the bitch who told them to shut up.
You know it or not, you just applied a reverse psychology and got the opposite result from what you aimed with your 'shut up because I don't want to hear you saying things I don't want to read' ( even though nobody is forcing you to read their comments.)
Can someone tell me where else to read this in english, i wanna read ahead
