"And they were cousins.."

Ignoring the fact that they're cousins, I love everything about this manga. The art style, the characters, the story, etc. I also like how the mangaka delves into issues like the struggles of being gay and self acceptance. Usually in BLs, especially japanese mangas, the characters are those stereotypical 'oh I'm straight, but I'm gay for that one specific person because that's more romantic and less offensive to society. Also, Bi people don't exist..'. Tbh, I'm kinda sick of it because that's not how it works irl. So it's nice to read about a character that's confident about their sexuality..

    I don't get why people find the whole straight but I'm into a dude narrative offensive. It's appeals to women lol, and I mean all women, lots of people I've met that read this are like....Lesbian lol. Many (but not all) want to see a straight dude get fucked over, in an imagined way. I had a talk with this about someone else who was lesbian, and they agreed with me, they preferred reading yaoi about straight guys. That's kind of like the whole point of this genre, it's not about this representation crap, since this medium legit appeals to women who have fantasies towards men. If it was realistic with actual gay people, then I wouldn't read it, since it's real, REALITY. no.
    Lesbians don't watch lesbian porn but read yaoi instead, the incredibly non realistic ones. I heard from someone who told me: "I'm not interested in men, I'm not interested in fucking men, but when men are fucking each other, I'm into it." That's why people who talk about representation feel fake to me, even if you are bi or gay. People say this genre is offensive to gay people, don't realize that this appeals to gay women as well who wouldn't watch lesbian porn, and don't even read yuri. It's more about power dynamics between men and women. I'm not gay or bi at all tho lol, but I was surprised when I found out how other people liked this genre.

    I'm a guy and I don't particularly find it offensive, it's just feels overused and cliched. And for some reason, it usually occurs in Japanese manga. It feels like a cop out phrase so that they can make two guys be in a relationship without any of them being gay. It's not about representation, it's about people romanticizing gay relationship while sweeping aside the fundamental aspect of it. Yes BLs and Yaois are unrealistic, they do not represent gay relationship irl. But a manga about two straight guys in a relationship is like making an omelet without using eggs. It's pointless..

    Also, it shouldn't matter what your sexuality is when reading a manga so I don't know why you brought up lesbians. And you also said that yaois appeals to women. So are you saying that I, as a gay guy, aren't allowed to enjoy it too, and can't give any opinions about it?

    p/s : I'm not reprimanding or confronting you here. I'm genuinely trying to explain why a lot of people have a problem with things like this..
