Shoujo is shit but so is BL

why do people act like shoujo is so boring why BL is not? They are litterally the same shit just copied and pasted.

The setting of most shoujo and BL? High school? The romance in shoujo and BL? Preppy and friendly MC who gets embarrassed easily falls in love with dark haired mysterious ML who never blushes and is an antisocial loner but everyone at school thinks he's so cool and has a dark and mysterious past and childhood trauma. The plot of shoujo and BL smut. ML rapes the MC at some point but forgives him and ends up with him anyway because they dont know what a backbone is.

It’s gotten to the point where i dont read BL anymore and i rarely read shoujo now. It is literally the same shit but i dont ever see shoujo readers act like its so superior so why do fujoshis feel the need to act like BL is peak literature just so they can justify fetishizing gay men.

Make it make sense.

Y'all don't read good manga and it shows. That trope is common in every genre having romantic themes, you just gotta dig deeper for the good ones. 1 reply

I don’t get why you make such sweeping generalisations of both shoujo, BL and their readers. Are you trying to make people feel guilty or bad for liking something different to you? People are allowed their preferences without random others labelling them for taking time out from their day to lose themselves in a story. If they say they prefer B...... 4 reply

Sounds like a skill issue to me, OP. It's weird how shoujo and BL get shat on for shitty tropes, but people act like shounen is peak fiction when there are a good bit of shitty shounen out there too. Not directed at OP, but I feel like there is way more criticism thrown at shoujo/bl for bad tropes than other demographic based animanga. Most shoujo ...... reply

I’m gonna admit I am a sucker for “Preppy and friendly MC who gets embarrassed easily falls in love with dark haired mysterious ML” especially when the mysterious ML gets all flustered too occasionally. I’ve read so many and haven’t gotten tired of it. It’s like crack for my brain. Because it accomplishes what I want reading manga to d...... 1 reply

They're both boring, shoujo is boring to me cause its rlly cringey and the protagonists are always such a mary sue. With yaoi I hate it cause the plots dont't vary often and its mostly just gay sex and i dont f/w that. The genre I think is best romance wise is josei. reply
