Does the BL genre suck now? Or am I just maturing....
I'm not crazy about it anymore, but I like it, and do get invested in such stories, such as Given, sorta/Heartstopper (ion watch the show, just the webtoon)/and ig the Gumlee moments were cute lol. I still rewatch Yuri on Ice, and write my own BLS as a hobby, which focus more on social issues/drama honestly.
I just always roll my eyes whenever rape comes up, and it's brushed aside very easily, and never dealt with correctly, unlike in Banana Fish for instance, or I suppose Heartstopper too... No rape happened, but this one guy forced himself on Charlie w a kiss, and didn't become his love interest or anything like that.... He was very disliked by the author, which was nice to see.
I just really hate when characters who do rlly bad things (rape), are romanticized by the author??? (looking at you Jinx) and the fandom r ok w it... Like srsly??... Also the artstyles recently look rlly bad too... I cannot get into them. I don't mind the typical uke/seme artstyle, but yeah.
Anyone else feel the same? Mby it's just us feeling tired of these oversused formulas in stories...
Not me tho, stay safe ️
And the ones I read don't have rape, if you want some good BL reccs, I have PLENTY:
