i just choose to focus on lecturing about yaoi because it’s what tumblr tend to excuse / idolize more it’s the fetishization of wlw so it’s just as bad as yaoi.it’s more bearable than yaoi, but i still noticed some moments where one character looks uncomfortable because of something the other person did to them… but then again maybe i just stumbled upon the bad ones.bl is typically used just as a replacement word for yaoi, so no… it’s still bad.that’s understandable (i’m hypersexual myself)… but please enjoy it in private and not publicly.What if i’m enjoying it to cope with trauma / hypersexuality? please refer back to the previous question just above this one.I’m not gonna stop enjoying yaoi just because you told me to! something healthier than reading / watching sexual assault. then the very least you can do is refrain from publicly enjoying it online/irl to prevent normalization. you still have to admit its faults and that it is very toxic.that’s most likely because of the lack of healthy mlm romance in the first place.a very shitty and terrible “representation”, might i add.there are tons more to say but i couldn’t remember all of them at the moment.īut it gives the gay community representation!.not to mention the heteronormative nature of “seme” and “uke” stereotypes that is often applied.this would be problematic because not only does it normalize sexual assaults, it gives the gay community a false, disgusting image. moreover, there are many themes of non-consensual engagements and sexual assaults.there is little to no regards about the plot and the characters themselves. yaoi is a genre aimed at female audience that serves sexual relationships between male characters as a form of entertainment.
