I'll say this here again so the folks can see: For me it's the fact that heterosexual roles are applied to the characters. I mean the couples are literally categorized as either the seme or uke with the seme being all masculin and strong and a weak small uke (usually). This is not only highly fetishizing but is also a strongly inaccurate representa...... reply

First things first, one does not fetishize BL, they fetishize MLM (Man-Loving-Man) relationships. BL is a truly flawed genre, with 99% of its contents revolving around misconceptions towards MLM relationships. Denying that and pretending there's nothing with it is fetishizing.

For me fetishizing BL it's to stereotype them only into sexual roles. BL is made fetishizng homosexuality. When fetishizing it's not boys love anymore, it turns to only sex and harmful stereotypes that reflect on mlm. reply

First of all, I would like to thank you for genuinely asking this question and being respectful in your way of doing so. Now, I would like to clarify that while what people fetishize are MLM, not BLs themselves, phrasing it in such a way wouldn't be entirely wrong either. Fetishization is undeniably a gross and unacceptable act, but what most peop...... 2 reply

Blame me not since I'm just sounding my concerns regarding this matter. You know, generally speaking, all type and genres of a book, manga/manhwa/manhua, novel, drama or a story whatever it is in shape that replicated over one's life tend to be made for the intents of grossing over the content type of their genre. What I mean here is, it is made fo...... reply
