I simply can no longer bring myself to call couples in BL as "seme" and "uke". I used to do that in the early days of 2016 but it's just cringy nowadays. Also recently I stopped using terms as "top" and "bottom" since it's kinda demeaning to refer to them by whether they are in the giving and/or receiving end. So I decided to use "main character", "main lead", "male lead", "protagonist" and "love interest", "male counterpart", "deuteragonist". It may seem overkill but it feels more respectful to refer to characters this way.
this isnt controversial at all honestly I’m the same way it’s not only cringey but it’s offensive when I see someone refer to real gay couples as seme and uke it doesn’t happen often but it’s so uncomfortable to see that reply
