Why are BL-genre glorifying TOXIC relationships?
Something I'm thinking about more and more these days is how common it is with BL mangas/manhwa/webtoons etc. that it glorifies toxic relationships. Now I am not referring to rape alone (even if it is included in the list), but everyday red flags, e.g. controlling, being a jerk/asshole and manipulative, but the story presents it as positive qualities.
I'll admit I've read and liked stories with these points e.g. 'BJ Alex' so I'm not innocent, but in my defense the reasons are either I think Seme has "made amends" for his past or smut ╮(￣▽￣)╭
It is different if the story contains a toxic relationship that makes it clear that the relationship is harmful e.g. No Holes Barred (Not BL)
What's weird is that it feels like I'm one of the few people who doesn't like a relationships like this
like I almost dropped BJ Alex I did drop jinx And Pearl boy I hate toxic dynamics
Why is so hard to find Manga without any level like toxicity in the relationship and when you do 80% of the time it's boring
Like give me an actual plot That......
