I also like for people to not roast me for using seme/uke or bottom/top terms. If I don’t use them, you won’t understand what I’m saying. Using ML (main lead) and MC (main character) is so awkward because sometimes the top is the MC and the bottom is the ML.

“Why is the seme the main character? It feels like I’m reading straight romance,”
or
“Why does the seme always have a harem? It feels like I’m reading straight romance.”

Let me correct that: You don’t dislike it because it feels like straight romance—you dislike it because it feels like the romance is targeted toward men instead of women. God forbid a BL exists that isn’t catering specifically to your tastes. We must project onto the bottom in every BL, right? I always hate comments like that. They’re not real criticism—they’re just people whining that a BL wasn’t made specifically for them or criticizing authors for wanting to explore new ideas or appeal to different audiences.

And,
“I hate the MC/ML for trying to find men on dating apps”
or
“I hate them for having sex with other men who aren’t the MC/ML.”

Mind you, the MC/ML hasn’t even met their romantic interest yet, but people still hate seeing them having prior sexual experiences with other men. I hate these kinds of comments because when will people get tired of the “You’re my first guy” and “I’m not gay” tropes? I think Homophobia plays a huge role in why people hate seeing MC/ML characters with sexual experience.

And,
“Why is the uke a feminine twink? I’m so tired of this trope—men don’t look like that in real life. Make a ‘real man.’”

Mind you, they’re talking about Dan from Jinx. There are men who are feminine like him. These same people never complain about unrealistically masculine men, or about the top always fitting the masculine trope. They only seem to care about heteronormativity when it comes to feminine bottoms.

I hate these comments the most because they can actually hurt real people. I’ve seen a lot of gay men feeling hurt because of these remarks. So, if you’re posting comments like that, I’d really like you to shut up.

if yes, why do you think that do you need to jerk off to something to enjoy it? if no, I would love to hear your opinion too. I'm so tired of people invalidating my lesbianism my family, my therapist, and even the queer people that are here, everybody tells me that actually I like men I'm just tired. basically I want to fight, tell me why do you think I like men?

How much is the website deranged? 80%? 20%? 50%? I'm genuinely curious. Is it as bad as people are saying, or are they just exaggerating? I see a lot of people saying the same thing about Reddit, but Reddit isn't bad for me.

my hot take is gore of real people should be criminalized, Getting enjoyment of other people's suffering by seeing them dying a horrible way is disgusting, I don't know how society allows it.

like I'm talking about how you thought they were not problematic but you realized they were problematic now

for me two straight guys who get into fights constantly, there is no way these people will fall for each other, even if the author threw them into a locked room or a locker

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 like to know people's guilty pleasures, for me "Unripened Expression", sorry I find the manhwa not bad at all, deserves more than 8,7 ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I was watching a YouTube video about a woman who had a podcast with three or more men. This woman ended up making some really racist, misogynistic comments about Black women, and the YouTuber I was watching criticized her, calling her a 'pick-me.' I agreed with that YouTuber until they said, 'Men can't be friends with women' and proceeded to describe men as predators. I was left wondering, why? I get that men can be problematic, but distancing ourselves, refusing to talk to each other, and villainizing one another isn't the answer. The world will stay as toxic as it is, and nothing will change. The world is dark and cruel to everyone—the least we can do is try to understand each other.
I've been criticized multiple times for sharing these views, and people have told me I only feel this way because I haven’t had trauma with men. But actually, 80% of my trauma has been caused by men: I was sexually harassed, assaulted as a child, stalked, and treated like trash by men. But distancing ourselves from each other is still not the answer. I'm not saying you should befriend people who treat you poorly, but there are many decent men out there. Calling all men 'predators' simply because they’re men is dehumanizing and unfair.
I wish both heterosexual women and men could see each other as human beings, not just as sex objects or romantic prospects. Why can’t people see the potential in building platonic relationships? It seems like whenever people talk about each other, it always has to be in a romantic or sexual context.
Anyway, I'm interested in your opinion on this if you don’t mind sharing.

For me, Toby Fox, the guy who made Undertale. the guy is a genius, I wish I could create a video game like his.

Honestly, I see a lot of people saying that BL's popularity is not a good thing, especially those who have never read BL. But am I the only one who thinks that BL becoming more popular is a good thing? It will make the geezers above realize that gay content can be profitable. Heck, even video games have started subtly incorporating gay stuff. In a video games conference in China, there was even a discussion about BL and what is allowed and not allowed in video games.

Honestly, I get it, and I sympathize with the authors, and yeah, it's unfair to them. But remember, the world is unfair to you too. The information is gatekept from you, entertainment is kept away from you because you are in an unfortunate place where you can't pay for it. "But if you don't have money, don't consume it"—are the people who have money the only ones allowed to enjoy life? If we are not allowed to travel, read books, watch movies, etc., why are we here?

You are not a bad person for consuming pirated content, and you are not a good person for it either. It's an unfortunate situation that doesn't have a solution.

like I see a lot of people (mangagoers included) whine that video games won't make straight shit canon because of queer ships, and of course, they are blaming Fujoshis. developers finally release that straight is not the default and consider people like queer relationships, I wish that the anime/manga field was the same and not queerbaiting us into oblivion every time, like I understand why video games do it because they need to cater to everyone, but I'm tired of everyone being straight in anime/manga.

for me don't listen to your mother when she says "Follow classmates around, that can help you make friends" That day I looked like a 8 years old girl who is a creepy stalker

I will say mine

You can rant about anything because there is this manhwa that really started to make me salty with every chapter that I read.

for me, I keep my phone flashlight on because sometimes I get hallucinations for like two or three minutes after waking up. When it's totally dark, I start panicking and screaming. Even though I still get hallucinations with the flashlight on and still panic (because, hello, there's something in my room), the light helps me stay calm enough not to scream—and it works. I also keep my PC on until I fall asleep. I've had scary sleep paralysis in the past, like feeling touched during it, which is terrifying when you're alone. Having the background noise of people talking makes me feel safe and less alone, so I keep my PC on (but sometimes it bites in the ass because my brain switches the topics of those videos to something else and it says some really scary stuff during my sleep).

Look, guys, the 24ft tree branch lady cock was funny at first, but come on, it's getting excessively unfunny. You guys eat it up every time. At this rate, you're just burying legitimate questions with 20 dick questions at a time, making the forums unusable.
