Question page 1 (43575)

Maybe I’m thinking too much about it…or whatever.

For anyone who’s unaware, color of the year this year is essentially white. Think it’s called lost cloud?

While I wsa in the depths of MRM I came across an AI slop comic, and I was like fuck naw and I thought it'd just be me because no one comes on MRM to be morally superior but I was so glad that the comments were how soulless and shit the AI manga was. Never felt more connected to the community!

I will never fap to AI ggz

It is definitely true that the LGBTQ+ has a lack of representation in media, and now with the release of shows like heartbreaker, heated rivalry, and red white royal blue, it has been groundbreaking for our community. But it makes me a little sad because literally where are the lesbians? I do feel like MLM is disproportionately more popular than WLW, because the insane and viral heights of success reached by the shows listed above, all which are MLM romances, I cannot think of WLW romance like that.

Looking even at my beloved fandoms I see this clear inequality and BTW this is not meant to be an attack on anyone’s opinion. Literally basically all the shows/characters/ships I’ve listed I like, it just makes me crazy how much more attention MLM receive over WLW.

1. ALIEN STAGE: People out here obsessing over IvanTill way more than MiziSua when Mizi is literally MC hurts me so much. I saw people online saying ‘oh they’re boring compared to them’ and that’s why but have we not seen Karma? MiziSua is neither simple nor boring (nor completely healthy lol) and omg people were hating down on Mizi for Karma but NGL I feel like if Till or Ivan pulled that, people would defend them ‘he did it for love’ or offer so much more benefit of doubt/forgiveness.

2. STRANGER THINGS: It’s not the popularity difference between RobinVicki and MikeWill that upset me, because understandably unlike Alien Stage, they’re not the MCs like Mike and Will, but it did strike me weird how they gained more love and popularity when their own WLW ship was there to push the narrative for Will’’s sexual identity as a MLM.

3. ARCANE: Jayvik taking overrr when CaitVi is right there We had a whole sex scene and crazy chemistry and still people disproportionately cared for Jayvik. PLUS, my girl Mel did nothing wrong (well anymore than the next guy) but still received insane hatred, definitely made worse because she was POC, but rooted in the fact she was in the way of the MLM ship.

I’m not saying that popular WLW media does not exist, but has literally any WLW ROMANCE show even had the similar insane success to the BL movies I listed at the start? And I’m highlighting romance as the central element, rather than an additional plot, because there is definitely shows like SheRa and Bly Manor which the real ones know is peak WLW writing, but it was definitely not the central theme or actually obvious at all until the middle/end.

I am aware this can be attributed to the fact that the audience are girls/women and what do we love if not seeing boy kissers, but I can’t help but feel annoyed, especially for MiziSua because she is literally the main character but men took away the spotlight from it, and Im sorry, IvanTill’s dynamic is much more cliche and less complex compared to MiziSura, letsbereal.

But to be my own’s devil advocate I do understand that some WLW are more underdeveloped and basic compared to MLM. I feel like MLM romances have more space for toxicity/complexity/flaws/unlikeability, thus being more interesting, and I have definitely seen cases where WLW relationships are so perfect it borders boring, but let’s be so woke and it that not because of misogyny??? Women are so overly hated in the media, and god forbid a female character be slightly complex. So even if there is a WLW relationship that isn’t ‘boring’ as many complain, is there even the narrative space for that??? Like I wonder are we going to defend and justify a semiotic MLM character is he was a woman the same way we do now? Whenever I see people hating on a female character like she killed their own mother, I always wonder would be keep this same energy if that was a man.

There is a flip side to this of course, because if we think why there is such a crazy fixation on MLM so much, it is indeed partly rooted in sexual fetish. Thus, people would rather want/care about where the MLM romance happens over the complexities of the characters beyond romance. Going back to MikeWill, I see everyone arguing about MikeEl vs. MikeWill and saying it’s queer bait if MikeWill doesn’t happen and I don’t understand that at all because Will is not gay FOR Mike, he is just gay. I wish people appreciated how beautiful it is that a mainstream media show is portraying coming to terms with queerness and more than anything, coming out to yourself. That’s why I love Robin and Will’s friendship so much, it is an aspect of Will’s queerness that isn’t immediately linked to a sexual relationship, and also as a straight passing queer woman with many ally straight friends, it is still important to have queer friends because they understand it.

Damn some stories here I read in highschool still aren't finished.. and I already graduated college meanwhile, the main character has been a highschooler for 8 years... at least move up a grade or something

Ok so I was going through a list of bl and non bl recommendations and I realized I was avoiding most of the Chinese one because of bad experience. Doesnt mean I hate all Chinese manhua/bl but goddamn sometimes I stand there like “why am I reading this” also you can often tell by the art style. Is that kinda racist?

(Go read Here U Are if you haven’t thought, also I do enjoy danmei sometimes)

And act all woe around me when I mention I take medication?

Like I mentioned passing-ly to this guy once that "oh sorry, was taking my meds lol" and he acted like I was an in patient at a hospital. Like no? I got tourettes, depression and anemia not fucking cancer.
Like god forbid I be a jolly fellow taking my colourful medication. Gotta have some bitch act like I'm dying or something.
The only thing I'm gonna die of is fucking annoyance

Idk I might be tone deaf to this because I grew up in a family with disabilities and mental health issues who had to pop them pills.
Like I don't see taking meds as a sad thing. I take them, they help, I go on with life. Same with my mother and my sisters

I just don't see the point of acting sad over someone taking medication. If they're not sad about it don't be sad for them???

How the FUCK do you make money from art commissions??? literally the only luck i've had is drawing furries and I'm so sick of drawing furries. I DONT WANT TO DRAW HALF NAKED FURRIES ANYMORE MAN. please i just need like $35 ╥﹏╥ Is there no other choice?? why are the furries so rich?? ╥﹏╥

HOW YALL BE HATING IT LIKE BEBFR IT WAS DAMN GOOD AND LIKE THEY ARE ALL FREAKY AND STUFF LIKE IT WAS GOOD MHMMM SO YUMMY


except thr last chp i cant defend u little a

Just found out that I can actually twerk, y'all d only ones I can inform bout this

Okay so I’m of the camp that does not read any omegaverse stories and I am desperately curious if there are any examples of nests from any of the webcomics on here. Tons of stuff keep popping up on my instagram of people inevitably creating a nest in the real world in some way, and I thought that was really funny. I’ll drop an example in the replies.

Hey! Ok so weird thing, or maybe not (?) But anyone in uni first year? I need someone to chat with stranger about final exams in the sciences. Like why can't I get myself to start prepping for the exam, like the stress has not hit me????? I don't know just want to rant atp.

If you were suddenly teleported in any GL manwha what would it be and why? What characters would you like to meet or what characters would you like to be?

I'm super sad and ofc I cried, so embarrassing. Now I have to pretend that I'm okay to everyone even thought they know I'm faking because my face is super bad at hinding it. Fml

Don’t know where else to ask, I keep getting banned on Reddit which used to be my go-to. Some people recommended to me trans stories here and I enjoyed it, feel free to leave any more, even movies about it is great. I come from Chinese and Russian mix, both sides of my families are traditional and just…closed off. I mean to the extent they publicly shame anyone out of the ‘ordinary’, they hate gay people. I have never come out as bisexual, I enjoy reading BL more due to my repression. I still read straight ones too neither are disgusting to me.

What am I? Trans? Non binary? How do I go about this? I honestly hear a lot about transgender people being shamed, etc a lot of stigma basically and even death, but I never got in depth to look through about it. I don’t want to go through that.

I know non binary falls under the transgender umbrella but not all non binaries are trans, what does that mean exactly? Please educate me.

I have been feeling this way for a long time, since I was in middle school. I am now in college, I still identify biologically as a man. But I want to be and feel as a woman too, dressing in the woman gender role (though clothes have none, hence the gender ‘role’).

I’m not muscular or anything, and I don’t hate it, I enjoy cross dressing too in private. I was thinking of doing something called HRT (I looked it up and about my crisis right now). My goal is to remain in between, androgynous so I can hop back and forth if that makes sense? I don’t know how to talk about it to the person providing HRT, I left my doctor after spilling how I felt, out of anxiety. Will the person providing HRT accept my reasoning? Isn’t it just for those going ftm or mtf?

Almost a year without seeing a doctor.

I know this sounds strange, but that’s probably because I find it strange, it’s not welcome in my culture at all. I don’t feel well or safe being open about this, is it okay not to? I feel more comfortable identifying as a man, but I still wish to be PERCEIVED as androgynous or woman alone. And I do have a small support group, I have told my close friends about it.

For me it's always the "bestfriend" coming into the story at a random time when the MC are already in a committed relationship then it just leads to misunderstandings

What’s that one story where the art is so gorgeous you could eat it for breakfast, but the plot is actually super plain or straight-up trash? I need one of those, AND another one where the art is kinda mid but the story is actually a masterpiece.

For our second lesson we're going to tackle the 4 main BL Top archetypes, and I will be classifying them as fruits.

1. The "Unripe Persimmon" top : This type of BL tops are often hard, not just dick wise, but bitter. Underneath the cold exterior they show is a bad personality that makes you want to kick their head off. Often times this BL top uses the fact he's above the bottom's stature to take advantage of the bottom. They're red flags that are borderline criminal but if you give them time, they would have a soft spot for the bottoms and treat them like an actual human being.

2. The "Coconut" top : Rough and hard on the outside but genuinely pure on the inside. The gap is unreal. These are tops who often look like assholes, but are just really misunderstood. Although the bottom will have to crack open the shell before he gets to devour the sweet and refreshing personality underneath. It is all worth the trouble.

3. The "Watermelon" top : Looks like a green flag but is blood red underneath. Two-faced hoes and are the opposite of "Coconut" tops. This type of BL top often show a kind exterior but are twisted underneath. The intensity of their twisted personalities may vary but the bottom is just. I don't even know he gotta fucking run away.

4. The "Banana" top : Soft inside and outside, it's easy to peel back to see the sweetness underneath. It's basic and you are given as you asked. It's pretty plain, pretty boring, but it's sweet and healthy. Perfect for fluffy stories, I mean— who can hate bananas?

That's all, you're welcum.

he's so creepy dude
