This is like the most cutest pure Ai I've ever read, and I like the slow burn. The last thing I would ever want to see is someone sexualize these teens based on stereotypes.
Shonen Ai is a type of Yaoi, you can't tell me otherwise
Yaoi is basically porn. Shounen ai is just pure romance with little to no sex. Can you pls accept that? Also top and bottom shouldn't matter - that's just fetishizing gay relationships using your own heterosexual stereotypes.
They might have sex (regardless of position), they might never have sex (asexual gay romance). At the end of the day, WHO CARES?
It’s just bl. Shounen ai is rooted in pedophilia and Yaoi is outdated, so yes please stop asking if they’re top or bottom because literally they are 16-17 years old. Whether you’re a straight woman or a gay man it’s weird asl.
“that’s just fetishizing gay relationships using your own heterosexual stereotypes.”
Umm excuse me, I’m a gay male writing over here.
Also yes, WHO CARES.
And please stop assuming other people’s gender.
No, Ai is a type of bl, as well as yaoi. it has little to no sex indication so there's really no point of bringing that up. Accept the romance without having to put your idealized sex thoughts here, even if you think about it keep that yourself because no one wants to see that. How you identify yourself has nothing to do with what we're discussing here.
R u dumb that’s not the point I’m telling y’all to use correct japanese terms shounen ai is rooted in pedophilia is associates with little boys and I said it doesn’t MATTER what you identify as because y’all shouldn’t be wondering what 16-17 year old gay boys do in their sex time pls read correct morrons
No one assumed ur gender moron why r u acting dumb I said it doesn’t matter if ur a straight woman or a gay man saying you wanna see 16-17 year old boys top/bottom each other is weirdo
Not them speaking over you, a gay male, about what you should and shouldnt thought as a gay person toward a gay couple and had the audacity to call it heterosexual stereotype
Lmao how about you learn to read first before going off rude smartass. That was mainly directed to the one who commented below me.
Obviously its bl, but if you're gonna talk specifics the name will come up one way or the other. Despite its original meaning which not a lot know about actually, the term is still used without having any implication of pedophilia, to only discuss about bl thats not sexually explicit. Though I will say it shouldn't be used if it's gonna promote that idea, ppl mainly use it when talking about bl not centered around sex, all this association you talk about is something oblivion to the majority, but if you wish to educate others on the topic maybe not be all cheeky about it.
I apologize for assuming your gender and sexual preference. It's just that the majority of commentors I've had to deal with in the past few years have been raging hormonal girls that fetishize gay relationships. It's my bad for thinking you were the same. But regardless, I think it's best to accept a piece of writing for what it is. If it's shonen ai, that's that. Don't pressurise the author to create sexualized content when it was never intended.
I literally wasnt being a dick until YALL catch an attitude
Lmao ok. Nothing was directed at you but you started talking down on others anyway. sure the last part of my input on how people identify themselves is irrelevant and the other one saying 'please stop assuming' could apply to you as well, doesn't matter so no need to bring it up in the first place... well we all agree on that, but seriously, chill your horses.
This is shounen ai . Not yaoi . Please stop asking whether or not a certain characters is a top/bottom . Even if they’re fictional , that shouldn’t concern you . /lh
