    I got my information through research, Japanese people, Japanese speaking, and please of Japanese people that wanted to correct others on the terminology. If you feel like growing up and stop being a nasty old ... Sucklefairy

    Hahaha saw this and thought how your generation’s “enlightened” BL is ALLLL about plot written from actual LGBTQ perspective http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/tiger_carpenter/uu/br_chapter-2801/pg-1/
    K. I’m out now, stupidity is infinitely boring, and not one thing you said indicates anything but a lack of intelligence and independent thought

    Yeah apparently I’m the bad guy when she keeps coming at my intelligence and was the one that started being condescending by insinuating that I’m on the spectrum (nothing wrong with that of course) because... Sucklefairy

    Do genres go outdated or not? I'm really confused in that part. Oh, wasn't BL(Boy's Love) just the english term for Shounen Ai (Shounen=boy Ai=Love)? Same with shoujo ai and GL(Girl's love)?And wasn't the genre... Skvyr

    No, Japanese people use the English words “boys love” or bl. However, like you just demonstrated, weebs and non Japanese otaku tried to translate it assuming it was translated in the first place. However, it was not. The words shounen ai are basically used for shotacon contexts in Japan. That’s why they say bl in English. To have a distinguishing term and because Japan loves to borrow words from other languages.

    For some weird ass reason you just don’t wanna listen to Japanese people! Fine by me! Colonizers stay colonizing, right?
