why are BL covers so sexual? + rant on fujos
Compared to many romance genre on there, BL covers seem the most sexual, why is that??? the fetishization....
Also little rant, i don't feel welcome in the BL community
it feels like it's not for me, like those BLs are not for me, before anyone says ' well romance is targeted toward women' then why do like romance gay movies?? who are many time written by actual gay men? like i don't feel represented in those BL, those comics or whatever that stuff is, i can't stomach seeing rape in BL, but yet all those girls are okay with it?? but yet i know if u saw that in a non bl romance manga you guys will run to twitter and make a thread on it, like if u are a woman, and u read BL and then see toxic or rapey stuff in it you need to drop it, u have the louder voices in the community so stop uplifting BLS with rape in it, then get mad when MLM complain about it? like that's your fault.
There is a reason why i have to bone pick my BLs, yet most girls on here when it comes to BL seem to be reading ANYTHING (it could be animals doing it) y'all are as bad as straight men (esp when it comes to shota)
because it's obviously there for your pleasures and not mine, BLS would be so much more fun if they were written more by mlm or atleast by women who know about MLM culture , like i could relate to so many things, cry over so many things that happened IRL, like i'm not crying anymore to the 'people don't accept him' trope it's overplayed and can be written by anyone at this point.
to answer ur question on why most bl covers are so sexual: its simple, its marketing. i didnt read the rest tho

Because porn is fetishization, yaoi is gay anime boy porn made by women and for women, and to appeal to the average horny teen/young adult. That's it, we go over this every few days but other than that idk

gl covers are also pretty sexual...... Many females even read gl soo........
Also, many things, in general, are sexual..... gay, lesbian, or straight it really doesn't matter..... Overall asexual people get hurt the most from the SEX SELLS marketing. And tbh sex does sell ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Um, thats a really, narrow minder way of looking at it, youre not the only audience here. And I absokutely agree with the toxic themes and how theyre used in a purely sexual way + the people who’ll read any mlm thing no matter if its animal/underage just to watch two guys fuck.
But the whole BL thing goes way deeper than just “fetishization.�......

you are taking BL way too seriously. it's literally hentai 80% of the time. if you don't like it, you are free to write/draw your own. i'm a gay dude and recognize that it's not a representation of MLM relationships considering over 60% of the actual community switch (sexual positions).. hence why it's fiction- doesn't need to reflect real life. an......

For the cover, it's marketing. Since BL started off as works by women, for women, this is a rabbit-hole that's really tight to escape from now. I've noticed that slowly, but surely things are changing. More and more BLs are coming out that are more representative and less toxic. But it is unfortunately still a rare thing. As you know, change always......

Then don't read it. It's that simple. I myself don't read yaoi with rape or complicated messed up shit. Skip skip skip. Why think too much ?
