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.
Honestly I think we shouldn’t have sexual cover periodt, whether it be LGBTQ+ or straight, just bc there’s lots of kids on the internet. Also, funny story, my mom reads sexual romance novels, and me as a kid did not to have see those covers, (I mean they weren’t that bad) here are some she’s recently read.

Lets see~
BL written by men :
- 95 % are bara
- Almost all involve very graphic rape, incest, pedophilia, hard-core non conseual BDSM sex.
- Fucking ugly art. Usually bara, hairy and fat dudes
- Non existent plot, usually revenge porn, gangrape, like hentai
- No romance of course what's that
Most famous one is a guy named George something and if ......

Uh it's not always actually, you're going to yaoi territory but there's always shonen ai- there's fluff and good plot too.
Just because BL is about gay relationships doesn't mean it represents real gay men. You know it's fiction and always will be cause it's just the use of imagination that will never or rarely happen in real life. It's your choic......

Hey,
I'm a probably bi gal, definitely like guys tho and I'm completely on your page. You're 1000% correct. BLs are targeted towards women, mostly. Yaoi explicitly, the toxic counterpart for mlm would be bara, both are bad but bara isn't as horrible. You're right, good stuff that represents mlm (or what I think does) is very rare and hard to find. ......

Head over to Tapas/Webtoons or smth. They have more realistic and some nice representation of mlm relationships. This site is more of random fuckery which isn’t too great if you’re actually trying to look for some good shit haha. I recommend Heartstopper, Heir’s Game and R. U. Screwed. NINE STONES is good as well but it’s more gore and that......

TLDR, honey you ok....? Yaoi deffo aint the genre with the most inappropriate cover...All those hentai jousei/shoujo covers are the ones with it... Before u start even saying that this site is mostly Yaoi well duh because mangago makes profit and they wanna attract people with the most wanted genre. IF BL is not for you then dont read it its obviou......
