Gay Men/MLM thoughts on bara vs bl?

I'm gay and I want to know what other gay men/mlm think about bara and bl. I haven't read a ton of bara so I might be wrong in what I say about it, idk.

Personally, I'm not really that into bara and I read bl instead. Like, I don't care for really beefy and muscular guys and in bara. I prefer twinks/average build men which seems to be more common in bl. But I feel like I should like bara more since it's by gay men for gay men? Maybe I'm confused. I just wanna hear other's opinions on this.
