Some comments in the comment section completely miss the point and are so hard to read without cringing from the sheer ignorance they display. There were only a few reasonable comments which actually understood what OP is saying. TL;DR: Fiction can affect reality. Yaoi being porn or fiction doesn't exempt it from criticism. Every genre, every s......   2 reply

Agreed. Also the thing where masculine-looking guys are often portrayed as tops and feminine-looking guys portrayed as bottoms, amongst others, is getting tiring. Couple dynamics are diverse, top and bottom sex positions are sexual preferences, one's personality does not always determine whether they are a top or bottom (or reverse/switch), to ......   reply

I didn't realise how much time I was spending on this site until it went down to be honest- But reality hit me like a bus as all my half yearly's came rushing in so thanks to that I was occupied for quite some time.   reply

I think I've seen something like this before---   1 reply

TLDR: maybe she is, maybe she isn't, try asking her if she would've read the story or considered the romance to be "forced/unnatural" if it was a BL instead of a GL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First of all, I always see people say things like "I read x so I can't be against x" or "I ha......   reply

Yes, say it louder for those in the back! Bisexual = liking more than one gender on the gender spectrum (cisgender male, cisgender female, transgender male, transgender female, non binary, etc), not necessarily BOY or GIRL, and not necessarily ALL genders either Pansexual = liking people regardless of gender People need to know more about gende......   reply

I'm worried that if I re-read something too much I'll get sick of it, so I try to have a 'cooling off' period of sorts, at least, to give me some time to forget about the story then read it again.   reply

anyone can read yaoi so long as they don't fetishise LGBTQ people (that is, don't reduce people to mere sexual objects for personal entertainment, don't project fantasies onto people) and are not being homophobic assholes. (also, don't downplay/dismiss or romanticise toxic stuff in stories, just bc its fictional doesn't make it okay/any less trauma......   1 reply

most of the ones I finished reading are short stories (around 5-6 chapters) a lot of the currently reading list are ongoing series, and its easy to find it fill up when stories update 1 chapter a week or so (I do the same with books I read, or movies I watch, where each volume/episode gets released over time) im also an introvert and dislike goin......   1 reply

Honestly reading yaoi is one of the best things that happened to me. I thank the yaoi gods for lighting the way to yaoi for me.   reply

Chu WanNing x MoRan from Husky and his white cat shizun, also called 2ha/erha (its a chiense danmei novel, not a manga or anything, but still...ITS A SHIP) If you haven't read it, I recommend it, but it's not for the faint hearted and don't be fooled by the cute fluffy title. Its got angst, drama, romance ugh the lot. It's also pretty lengthy if......   2 reply

Perfectly summarises all the tropes in yaoi into a neat little 4 minute clip. Couple dynamics in real life are way, WAY more diverse than that shown in yaoi, why don't some people understand that---   reply

Toxic tropes (normalised abuse/assault etc) definitely are a problem in the yaoi genre But it’s also not that hard to find stories that aren’t toxic. Since you’re saying you can’t read the toxic stories why torture yourself just for the smut? There’s plenty of stories out there that aren’t toxic and have good smut. Some people even m......   reply
