it's alright as a spice for smut but it's mostly inaccurate and barely ever SSC. it irks me how bdsm gets misrepresented and used as a noncon fetish most of the time in yaoi. that's absolutely not how it is (supposed to be) irl. reply
I love BDSM. Some mangas do go in depth to really explain bdsm and developed their characters through this. But most yaoi mangas use it as a sort of fetish. Authors add these elements in to spice up the story, without really exploring the context which is why the stories come across as such. 1 reply
i like it, as long as both consent. My favorite would have to be shell x one from blood bank because they started off cold with only bdsm but developed a loving relationship. Ive only read three yaois with bdsm tho reply
i like it and wish there were more of them like sm gokko, sadistic boy, or hoshi no yakata but at the same time i have read several of them that were so ridiculous that i could hardly bring myself to finish them. reply
I agree with the less plot/character development in most yaoi that has bdsm but at the same time I love it. I've read so much of it that vanilla sex in yaoi to me is boring af lol. reply
i love bdsm in yaoi no matter how soft or hardcore it is. i know for a fact that that's bdsm is not always like what u see in yaoi but i still enjoy it AS LONG AS IT'S CONSENSUAL. if the seme dares to hurt my sweet uke ill kill him for sure! reply
I like it sometimes, it depends on the story though. Of course, like you said, sometimes it has less plot and character development, but if they include those in there, I like it. reply
I like it in most cases. I think when it's paired with torture, killing, murder then I can't read it. I am reading a webtoon where there is good character development, it's not yaoi tho. reply
