I'm not really bothered by it most of the time. The few times it bothers me is usually when it's like two people who are already in a relationship and there's some argument or something that leads to rape, like Escape Journey. I could not finish that manga after the rape scene, though I quite liked it before. If the rape is towards the beginning of......   reply

Genders other than male and female have existed for thousands of years in many different societies. So I don't see the point in questioning it now?   3 reply

I like both real gay porn and yaoi, but it feels unfair to compare them because for the most part they are very different. Most yaoi has some semblance of a story, some emotions behind the sex. Porn doesn't and I don't think it should (at least whenever I've seen story attempted in porn it's always really bad). I don't like western gay porn though......   reply

Yep, I'm queer and agender. I've actually seen quite a lot of LGBTQ people on here, you shouldn't assume someone's straight/cis because of their comments unless they explicitly state it (maybe I'm misinterpeting what you meant and they did actually say it, if that's the case sorry). I've seen various polls that suggest around 30-50% of BL readers a......   3 reply

My least favorite yaoi manga/anime is Okane ga Nai and anything else by that author/artist team. Aside from the shitty melodramatic plots, I HATE her art so much. I'm not bothered by uke's being a little on the cute/feminine side, but her ukes and semes look like different species. It's like looking at a Neanderthal vs. 14 yr old Justin Beiber. I s......   2 reply

I prefer Manga. I don't have a whole lot of free time and I have trouble getting invested in long stories, so I prefer the short, sweet and sexy style of manga. BL is more like an indulgence for me, I go to it when I don't want to think to hard or be confronted with anything complex or unexpected (or when I'm horny lol). So I don't mind if the plot......   reply

I have one major turn off and it's when there's something about the uke being like a woman/girl during sex. Sometimes it's the seme saying it to the uke something like "You look like a woman" or "I'll make you feel like a woman". Or the uke will think something like "I'm becoming like a girl." Oh and sometimes just to be super duper gross they'll s......   2 reply

Yes of course at least once daily usually! I don't understand people who don't tbh unless you only read softcore stuff. But like doujins that are pretty much just sex or something like Ogeretsu Tanaka where it has a good story but also long detailed sex scenes? How do you not get turned on by that (aside from being asexual or such, that's fine)? An......   5 reply

So I'm queer as fuck and agender so probably not the best person to answer this, but I was afab and I've also read a lot about the history of BL (I prefer this term over yaoi, because it's the term used in japan and yaoi has a negative connotation). So I'm very familiar with the discourse around BL. 1) Why do a lot of fujoshis wish that they were......   5 reply
