lol when I first read bl, they were mad when the uke was buff, but now it's the other way around ahhahahaa

I think it's a response really to that argument that BL is practically shojou but fetishized coz the bottom's always so feminine (without realizing that there are actually men and actual gays irl who are like that lol). The hype's basically for uke that looks and acts like seme, and though I do enjoy a lot of works with this thing, on another hand, it can get icky when the bottom's design is similar to those exagerrated FLs in hentai with airbags for boobs, another thing is when they are written to act like the toxic semes in typical BLs (distant, short tempered, violent, etc.)- the character's still unlikeable for me, doesn't matter if he's taking it up the ass now.

well isn't that just a given tho? everyone will always have a preference, some not up to your liking and some are. It's just a matter of delivery and calling out what really stinks.
Take full volume- the bottom's design is not really up to my liking but the work is pretty good and I still managed to finish it, same with some of bwat works- not my thing in terms of character design but the delivery is really good and I still end up savoring it too.
There are just works out there that are unsalvageable and are really just the artist's diarrhea of their demented kinks-- nowadays I find it to be more on the works with buff uke where the bottom's exaggerated in the chest and ass areas (again, not all) or treating the seme as nothing more than their dog, not a beloved pet, a dog. It's giving trying-hard-to-be-Bara-but-make-it-non-hairy-instead. This is inverted to the shitfest of years ago where it's the twinks that barely looks like dudes being assaulted and graped throughout the plot coz that's what keeps their creator hard or smthn (still seeing this too, but not as bad as before when this type of crap is practically your only option).

Soooo trueeeeee. Its just that everything is changing but some people don't want to (or dare not) face the fact that there are more than just their types in this ocean, and some even make a fuss about it like, why gays are like this while they are supposed to be like that??? I mean honey maybe you're not even a man yourself why waste so much energy on what aint yours in the first place. Lol it would be an utopia if people could give no shit abt things arent related to them.
Btw no one asked but I gotta say this: manly bottoms doesn't mean they're buff!! They're buff if they are muscular!!! Don't tryna lump these into the same category dear world... (• ‿ ,•. )
