Sooooo before I discovered this ratchet-ass website that I secretly love I only knew the terminologies " top, bottom, and switch". Then outta the buttcrack of dawn came new terms like "uke, seme, and seke"(lulz it's the fact that grammar check doesn't recognize "seke" as a word). Anyways, the new terms used to confuse me but I eventually learned them and now I'm just here wondering where they even came from. Were they always a thing and I was just living under a rock? 0_0
uke and seme are just words for bottom and top basically. It used to be neko and tachi, but uke and seme became more popular as bl started growing in the west, so thats just the terminology used by people who enjoy yaoi. It’s also strictly a thing for people in the community because yaoi is so weird and uke/seme are japanese words 2 reply
