if you hate BL why are you reading it?
If you think BL is so fetishizing and people who read it fetishize gay men, I genuinely don't know what you are doing here. Like, there are these people who complain on and on about how BL sucks, and when you go to their list, you find the shittiest BLs in their list. Maybe it's a you problem. There are a lot of BLs that don't have sex or rape, but you keep latching onto the shitty ones and then blaming the genre, even though every genre has rape.
Yeah, there are BL women readers who fetishize gay men, and yeah, I agree we should call them out. But maybe don't jump down every woman's throat because she happens to read BL? I get shit just because I'm a woman who reads BL. Like, I don't want BL to be "by women for women" either, just saying (I bet most of the people who make BL don't have a target demographic in mind). I want it to be diverse like how GL is.
Also, talking about GL, you are delusional if you think straight men don't read GL, "because men don't like romance or don't care about women :3" Guess what people? Men love romance and they are interested in women and they like seeing women being romantic. Even the biggest, gayest idol anime that has only girls ("Love Live") has an audience that is mostly men. You and your damn stereotyping. And still, I don't see them getting hate like how women do.
I genuinely believe that Americans have been brain washed into feeling guilt for thinking about sex, much less enjoying it, specially women. So immoral, boohoo! Sure, men get some flack for watching or reading porn, but it is mainly viewed as "oh well men are men and they have strong sex drives, it's in their nature". But a woman who has a strong......

U have a point, but just gotta nitpick one thing. BL authors 100% have a target demographic in mind when writing. All authors do it's like a part of writing LMAO idk why u think they don't but I'd be interested in ur arguments
There's plenty of authors notes at the end of manhwa/hua/ga that show the author talking to their editor and changing char......

Cause this kind of thing will never be considered as normal just as much as other things, people hate to see woman live and enjoy something, everyone always feels the need to control the way women need to have their fun and it's not just with reading bl.
Honestly I just wish people would stop caring about what you read ( frankly just live without ......

I think it's bc non bl readers don't know that actually really good bls are there too. U mentioned how when u go to their page, it's always the shittiest bls. I mean like, the most popular bls on social media and most of the ones on the main page of this site are always shitty ones. And the thing is they always have beautiful artstyles so they natu......

Don't you need to read a genre extensively... to complain about it?
I agree with everything else, but like it's always confused me as to why people get so triggered when they see someone complaining about SA and then see a reading list filled with SA.
Yeah, they are going to have SA in their reading list. That's why they are complaining. They li......
