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
There’s no difference, queer people write some bullshit too. There is just difference between authors who actually have a passion for what they do, and those who just do it because they can, and they’re good artists (but horrible at everything else). The second type should just stick to adapting books, but often they don’t

i've always found it interesting that, even though i'm not queer, as a yaoi veteran, the relationship dynamics in most yaoi works feel like a portrayal of traditional male and female roles. the way bottoms are often treated reminds me of how women are discriminated against, which is why i feel equally triggered by the dynamics in these male relatio......

Proceeds to make that exact assumption...
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......

Citrus was written by a bisexual woman btw. I remember people saying how it's 100% written by a straight man, when it wasn't. Listen, queer people aren't a monolith and nor are we obligated to always write "positive" and non-problematic stories all the time and always have to pass the healthy threshold of stories. Straight people are not held to th......

nah, I do think that being in the queer community help with writing queer stories especially if you want it to be realistic. but for it to be good? they just need a good writer no? a good writer will write a good stuff ╮(￣▽￣)╭

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

(Sorry I answered this is the wrong place, so I’m just cutting and pasting here)
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 ......
