Things that I hate in BL!
I a lot of yaoi, and I do this not just for the sex, I do this because I hope that I would find some good plot! Yeah, I'm one of the people who read yaoi for the plot and not for the sex.
I would just start with the biggest problem in yaoi manga - rape. Trust me I read a lot of manga in my life, in the yaoi community rape is like the start of a relationship, and it seems like people are okay with this. The part that I love the most in rape is when the one who was raped just like "Oof, I was raped. Well, now I'm in love".
The second problem is how yaoi works, I noticed that in a lot of yaoi manga the characters fuck ones and maybe twice in the first chapter. I just feel like the author doesn't give a shit about the plot, and just wanted to draw porn. Then there is the third problem - love. So the characters know each other for a week, and after that, I have to believe that they're in love.
Then the mental health problem comes. I hate when the character has a big psychological problem, but at the end of the manga, it just disappears, because of love guess. Also, I love how after the characters tell they're painful background stories - they fuck because apparently, you can't do anything except fucking.
Oof, that was quite a lot, sorry (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
My English is not perfect so sorry for that either. It was more of a conversation because I had to finally write everything that annoys for a long time.
1. Romanticized rape/abuse.
If you wanna write about rape or toxic relationship, be realistic. Portray the reality of the situation. But a lot of yaoi mangakas don't seem to bother to find out what rape and abuse are really like.
2. Shota.
I just don't get why this shit exists, why there are mangakas willing to create it, and why there are some ......
