The difference between queer and non queer authors
Listen I never assume the author gender or sexuality cus most cases we don't know and we will never know. The authors all use pen names and don't show their face. However.... as a Yuri and yaoi enjoyed for like 7 years <hollyshit> I can ALWAYS tell when the author is;
1. In the queer community
2. Very very well educated on the gays and how we work
The author can put out a fantastic 10 out of 10 Manga and trust me i won't be the same as the mid manga/Manhwa a queer person has done. The tension and the issues that we face, the dialogue and the way the characters are written is completely different. Ofc there are also queer authors who just suck at writing and they put rubbish aka some of the Yuri authors I love Yuri but man really??? Let's get our shit together.
A queer person Def isn't going to write a painter of a night type Manga. A queer person deff isn't writing some of these omega verse Mangas. A queer person is deff writing Incidentally Dyed By Spring's Love or dark heaven. Yk??
Also reminder than queer people can write smut, and fluff, only a true gay can write some of the most disturbing shit or the most fluffy toothrooting manga. But the nuance of the Manga always gives it away yk?!?!
Also comment random bl/gl to tell yall my opinion

The second type should just stick to adapting books, but often they don’t

Jokes aside, I kind of agree and disagree with you? I don't think, queer people necessarily make better LGBTQ+ stories, they just probably have a higher % chance of making one that doesn't glorify s......

It’s refreshing to read an actual insightful opinion on here, thanks. I completely agree. I hate omegaverse for that reason, it’s just “here’s two men but one could just as easily be a woman”
I adore “my brothers husband”, that author has done some ......

the funny thing is I sometimes end up reading authors' notes about which of their characters they are attracted to the most, most of the time they answer with I don't know or attracted to air or something most of the authors give me asexual/aromantic vibe Hate Mate author answer was a woman lol.
what do you think about those BL and GL
