Just a rant

i haven't read it yet but... EXACTLY! somehow your points are always what I find annoying about most BLs lol.

Oh Jesus, if that was not the fucking truth. I agree though, I'm fed up with all the bullshit stories that are being made, I don't need something to be fluffy necessarily for me to like it, but I'm not going to enjoy stories filled with the glorification of toxic and unhealthy relationships. I'm a fudanshi that really just wants well written stories and not shitty ones full of rape disguised as "consent". If only mangaka's would actually learn about queer people instead of writing stories based on what they've learned from other yaoi authors. I don't want a story that's written for the pleasure of straight women, I want something that really moves me and isn't just flat out sex the entire time. Ofc you can enjoy those types of "it's only sex" storylines, but it's in the majority of yaois and I find that quite stupid. I like sex scenes, that's why I don't find BL as interesting as yaoi, but yaoi tends to be marketed towards and written by those who'd rather fetishise queer men than those who are actually interested in watching the development of a relationship. They always give the seme the whole "I'm still straight tho" trope so that the women can self insert themself into the relationship, and it's common that the uke's are also small and cute like women so that women can self insert themselves in that respect too. It becomes more than just "fiction" when a minority group is framed in a bad or fetishising light. Like, people would definitely get angry if all African Americans were represented as violent in a work of fiction, so why is it okay to act like queer individuals shouldn't get the same anger when they're misrepresented. Either way, it should be considered bad. Once you misrepresent something in fiction, it can become how your audience sees certain minority groups. You can write stupid shit like someone turning into a slime and say its "fiction", but in that respect is that work of fiction hurting anyone? No.

Truth! But, well, even if I rant, NOTHING WILL CHANGE, but I have to, so bursting out my frustration.

Yeah, it's frustrating. No matter how long u rant for awful yaois are still going to get popular and the market for them will continue to grow regardless.
