Another cliched story. Make the seme look as bad as possible and he will choose the other one in the end.The other guy is no good either.He blackmailed the uke into sleeping with him and the artist are trying to market this to people as love.It's so fucking annoying. It was a huge waste of time for me to read this.
Not defending the other guy because his actions were scum as well. But the seme isn’t exactly a good person either. It’s not just about portrayal. He’d been planning to get married since collage but in the first TL he made it so that he couldn’t refuse because of the accident (indirectly manipulating the uke into blaming himself for the marriage). He knew about the stalker but kept quiet even though he knew things could get dangerous. Even went as far as provoking the stalker by acting close to the uke. He asked the uke to accompany for his studies abroad even though he had no intentions of taking him along (hence no pain even though uke gave a difficult answer). There is definitely a high level manipulation on his end because otherwise the uke’s actions make no sense. “I can’t leave him because he is sticking to me even as I make his life difficult” the best thing to do is to leave him to make his life easier. But we know the seme is yandere obsessed.
If anything I think the uke is the most pathetic character of all. He had the chance to change things and he made all the same decisions then cries that “nothing changed”
Masculine semes are the most annoying shit in yaois.They're not expressing their feelings and are so full of themselves,so aggressive,abusive,emotionally unstable,frequently a rapist and terribly jealous.They are not strong at all.In fact,they're really weak and totally a loser.They lack communication skills and character.I don't really understand why most people like them that much.They're NOT good qualities for a decent human being.They're fucking trash.Feminine cis men are amazing especially feminine ukes.They're real gems.I love them so much.
Not all masculine semes??? Yes all masculine semes.Yes I praise femininity because you are perpetually humiliating feminine ukes lol
i like the teasing quiet unexpected person
masculine with a genuine heart , GENTLE , caring with hidden things he does for the person he likes , loving but also firm , doesnt care about the details , pushy in times and laid back in other , not a clown , but can make ppl laugh , has a presence and demands respect , and decisive ...
that its my type of seme or my type in general
but i find masculinity an important quality of the man ( it is like basics to me )
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
the way u described masculinity isnt actually masculinity , it is ur view of it ,
I like when both sides are masculine, but not in the way you described. But really I like anything as long as the character isn't a rapist and is just generally a good person.
i agree with otaku nerd
that is not masculinity tho
it is the obsession trait in the the seme
uhh I get that you're trying your best to sound woke but you're not doing a good job at it. I'm with you in despising ~fujoshi culture~ with their romanticizing shit and disregard for feminine characters, but masculinity isn't... something inherently toxic. at all. masculinity allows room for femininity. Femininity allows room for masculinity. they aren't mutually exclusive concepts. and good lord please stop trying to make it sound like people who embrace their femininity can't be abusive lol what you described above are abusive traits that can manifest themselves in anyone - feminine men included. Discussing and opposing toxic masculinity is always welcome, but don't go around throwing words you don't know how to use in context to fit your agenda, mate.
Omg, I've commented too much on this topic and feel like shit. I'm like, I disagree, but then I'm like, but some of it is true. I feel like I'm so rude, not only that, but it's going against someone's OPINION guys, ABOUT FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, yet everyone is getting so hype and shook. To the author of this comment, I'm sorry I'm a piece of crap.
I do agree, but I think you might be lumping up the definition of masculine (having qualities appropriate to or usually associated with a man) with the term jerk (a piece of shit).
Though I agree with the points you say, semes that are fucking abusive and rapist are not tolerable and really suck. They are usual called sadistic, jerk, or a piece of shit seme (unless it's that way for the sexual gratification of the reader no judge). ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I myself dislike the feminine anything in yaoi, more elaborated, ukes that look female (short, cross dresser, wants to be a girl, girly, etc.)
Cross dressing semes (and ukes?) has risen in popularity (sadly) so I just stick to not reading them (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜. I read yaoi for a reason and I like the characters look, well, male. Of course that is a personal preference and lesser in comparison (my preference being manly ukes).
FINAL NOTE
Though they should NOT be manly, manly, manly. They should be able to do something other than lift weights. (lol) ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
there are so much people on here who hate feminine ukes,you know? I don't say "feminine cis men can't be abusive" but I don't agree with "masculinity isn't something inherently toxic" thing.Yes it is.So,I don't think you'll understand what I mean.Your opinion is definitely different from me unlike you said.So,I don't have a reason to argue with you.
Of course, deleting comments is the best you can do to silence people who have seen you for who you are. Granted you probably don't care at all for my opinion or for anonymous opinions for that matter so I am here with a temporary account. I will try my best to repeat my previous comment from memory.
"┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ Let's have a group of feminine uke haters and a group of masculine seme haters. Equality, am I right? But for the record, I have seen you and a few other users comment "all men are disgusting" on a post condemning a seme for raping an uke, so I am not quite sure if your argument is a biased feminist view or you actually argue with reason? It's always best to have an open mind even if you don't like certain topics otherwise when you post important posts like these, people won't take you as seriously,"
Now I know that is not the exact comment. But take it as it is. I do not expect or want to have a conversation with you. It won't bring us anywhere, I am sure of that. I simply wanted my opinion to stay permanent.
Nope I disagree, that's called obsessive love and as long as ukes are fine with it, it's all cool. For me, masculinity is one of the most important features of a man, because that's what makes them men. It's not in any way associated with being obsessive, easily jealous or being full of themselves lol, despite of their masculinity they still can be loving or caring. What you discribed is obsessive seme, which is exactly my type of seme,(except the rapist and pushing part, which I already mentioned)
you have all the reason to argue with me? this is a discussion, after all - I won't be upset by your responses because I'm actually interested in having some insight as to why you think what you think. "Your opinion is definitely different from me unlike you said." 'definitely' is a bit too strong a word to use here - I do agree with you on how feminine men are perceived by most readers, as I said before. regarding their behavior: it's one thing to criticize the authors' penchant for straight up slapping the dynamics of a heterosexual relationship onto a gay one and calling it representation, and an entirely different one to hate feminine characters because that. is not only perpetuating toxic masculinity as well as misogyny - I mean, come on. there's a reason so many clueless young people around here get all fussy over the slightest display of femininity by a man. they are still stuck on the thought that everything feminine is 'weak' and that /their/ definition of masculinity is 'cool' and try to chalk that up for genuine criticism. not everyone here does that, of course - some people just happen to be searching for representation in their preferred form of content, like me, and possibly you -, but that's definitely what goes on with the majority. can't lie about that. that's where I'm with you.
you lose me at the point you claim masculinity to be a Very Big Bad Thing, which I'm confused as to how and would like to understand your perspective, lest I'm missing something. what backs my own claim is that there's a difference between masculinity and what is /proposed/ as masculinity, which oftentimes is the old-fashioned idea that 'real' mean have to be though, frigid, etc etc.
things have been changing. folks are fighting back these old ideals and standing for their own standards of masculinity, that which welcomes femininity, vulnerability and emotional freedom as an integral part of it. if masculinity is the quality of things commonly attributed to men, you can expect a spectrum of traits that dates back centuries ago, and that up until recently were taken as the ultimatum on how men should look and behave like. it's been changing now. men who'd never agreed with that in the first place are speaking up. it's not something written in stone.
tl;dr: I really can't bring myself to paint masculinity as inherently abusive when it's only taking the words the older generations have been repeating over and over again in ignorance, then slapping a cute 'look how progressive I am!' label onto it. to reiterate: I'm 100% on board with tearing down toxic masculinity, which is exactly what you were describing.
for a cis man, being both feminine and submissive is not a bad thing or degrading.You think so because you are misogynist and transphobic. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Stfu ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Special snowflake LOLOL
Why are people so pressed lol Anyone can act like whatever they want to,it's never wrong or degrading.People are really transphobic and homophobic out here when they enjoy reading yaoi lol you guys are the pathetic ones
Yaoi mangakas have prejudices about a married man and a gay man being in a relationship, but there are many examples like this in real life. As always, selling dreams is more important than showing the truth because readers cannot tolerate cheating as much as rape, that's the main issue. This idea itself seems extremely strange to me.
