What you have said is valid and I agree with a lot of the clear-headed points made. I do think the BL genre as a whole is moving forward, even if only slightly, as there is a fair amount of non-toxic and healthy relationships being portrayed recently (although of course the problematic portrayals still do exist). Regarding the minors consuming BL i......
I like manga better, overall. I've only found a handful of webtoons that I've liked. The premises of webtoons I've read have been at extremes of a spectrum, where the protagonist is either very generic and boring with a very generic and boring love interest, or he's a doormat wrapped up in some abusive psychological warfare with the love interest. ......
Japanese manga no question!! I read almost all of the webtoons and manwha's here but I noticed the Kdrama vibes and the stories were came from hetero stories recycled to become Bl. There's a reason why I hate kdrama. I feel the kdrama vibes from the webtoons here and It's just a turn off for me. I read about a manga with a monk,a barber,a chef,a co......
As others have said, hetero "romance" and porn is really tiresome as it's catered towards straight men, and not women nor LGBTQ. It's based on a binary worldview and is very, very flawed. It's often pretty shit for females IRL. I'd rather read something that doesn't involve females, and if it's explicit, don't really want to see a female as it's ne......
You know, I don't like omegaverse manga in general because it's just rape with the excuse of "heats". But I feel like omegaverse is getting a really bad rep for these, the actual universe setting is much more interesting. In most omegaverse manga, it focuses on the "sexual" side of things, with the suppressants and rape and uncontrollable instinc......
Oh, I've dropped tons. (1) Mangas that weren't worth reading, such as shitty isekai mangas with harems. (2) Mangas with annoying MLs that treated their love interests like shit. (3) Mangas that were too annoying in general to read with sexist messages and poorly made characters. (4) Mangas with dumb, stupid, klutzy, cliche female MCs and antago......
well im a little BITCH and cant handle second hand embarrassment at all. so because of this ive dropped a shit ton of mangas and webtoons. i really try to keep reading some and not be a fucking wimp but that doesnt work all the time. im getting better at handling it... i just have to close the tab for a fat 25 or so minutes and scream in a pillow, ......
"If you're looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroys you, it's love. And when you love someone you just, you…you don't stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes, and call you crazy. Even then." - Ted Mosby I guess this summarizes wha......
I understand what you mean... sometimes when I hang out with my friends I just stop talking and lean back. The fact that my silence is so easily covered makes me realize how replaceable I am and I don’t feel like I belong... for a lot of groups in my experience you have to match everyone’s pace exactly. If you’re different, be it in attitude,......
Do you guys realize how harmful yaoi/bl can be?
