if you're feeling anxious abt socializing and public speaking etc etc you won't be able to escape that in any other major either. if your academic passion is medicine i'd suggest sticking with it and then maybe go into r&d instead of being a clinician? i think ultimately your best bet for dealing with social awkwardness (from the limited info in th......   2 reply

people can read the same stories as you for whatever reason they want lol not everyone's reading for plot or the characters and that's okay. don't worry about it, you'll be fine. people hornyposting about gay sex in the comments of bl comics which are seen by only other bl readers for the most part is not enough to sour the reputation of bl readers......   3 reply

yap incoming but tl;dr get into more trans history & media & nonfic books to unfuck your idea of gender (source: personal experience ) anyways. i think genuinely you just need more exposure to media & history to whittle away at the internalized bigotry and normalize these to you. that's what's helped me at least. could focus on stuff from your co......   2 reply

omegaverse stories have some p neat social commentary tbh and i mean the whole spectrum of the genre, wholesome and dark tropes and all, and including the porn. they can cover uncomfortable material but i think those are fun to analyze actually and can both offer value as critique and/or as the subject of critique when it comes to subjects like soc......   reply

i don't think you're wrong to have this opinion and preference; that's your right but i wanted to add my two cents that these stories being fiction means authors can jump straight into the kink fantasy without establishing consensual context. because nobody real is involved they can skip the discussion with any partner(s) involved and just immedia......   2 reply

NO YOU ARE NOT TOO WOKE SPEAK YOUR SHIT!!! like yeah sure whatever transmigration stories are usually wish fulfillment fiction Okay that just means i'm not gonna say that the authors suck on principle for not exploring these topics in their transmigration stories or that readers suck on principle for enjoying stories that gloss over these topics or......   1 reply

grew up in a conservative and religious household. instead of making me feel shame, the homophobia and transphobia from that environment has mainly made me feel really pissed off and spiteful lmfao. my church failed at making me internalize discrimination bc i just. denounced the church at age 12 bc making me grow up extremely religious backfired ......   reply

my take is that liking BL ≠ attracted to male characters ≠ attracted to men irl characters in fiction represent more than their literal depictions and cannot be considered 1:1 equivalents to real life. the concept of a male character is not equivalent to the concept of a man in real life & male characters can actually be devices to explore con......   reply

okay prefacing this by clarifying that i'm around your age but i think the experience makes a huge difference in like. maturity, still? the life experience is still important to develop the skills to be independent as an adult. i agree that relationships within the age boundaries you describe aren't inherently predatory but like the age of early ad......   1 reply

idk if i'd call it a trope but female antagonists in a lot of stories involving nobility and royalty in the setting are written to be shallow even if said stories are written from the villainess's perspective (in those transmigrated stories) & like. write what you want idc. sometimes you're just there for the drama or an easy read. but there's a lo......   reply

short answer: it's just a kink a lot of BL authors write about either bc of sexual repression or power fantasies. in depictions of consensual relationships it's not supposed to indicate a true lack of consent, so the bottom doesn't get angry because they weren't being fr abt it. if you want the long answer here's the yap sesh: BL is a genre writte......   2 reply

i take notes in a way that actively involves my own voice: putting information in my own words; including any comments i have, important or not (actually, the sillier the better. the more i incorporate jokes and references to things that come to mind The Better My Memory); and taking breaks after sections to summarize what i learned (also in my own......   3 reply
