I feel you on the hella uggo/old tops, non con or otherwise lol. That’s just too much.
Weirdly though I’ve lived my entire life as a lesbian pretty much up UNTIL Yaoi. Still not sure what I am but. I think at least part of why Yaois target audience is women is that they’re unrealistic versions of men haha. It’s like if all guys had a woman’s personality/emotional maturity/emotional depth, the. If half the guys also have feminine features physically as well
i know. Basically they write men (mostly the bottom one) like a woman but with a dick and no pussy lol. It feels safe for them (women readers). But I already pass that phrase. Nowadays, I want to read more about how the "real" LGBT people love or about healthy couples with normal sense.
About porn/smut manga or animation stuffs, the problem is they only ever focus on the one being fucked, not to mention by a no face/ ugly/ fat/ unrealistic huge/ super tall muscular chocolate skin/ bald man and me as a straight woman feel nothing hot about it.
P/s: the women I mention is straight women

Who is the target audience for this?? I find it funny that yaoi is considered to be targeted for women. Like HOW? Fat, ugly, stupid and perverted tops? Rape, violence and manipulation? Seriously? There is literally NO porn for women. Not speaking for everyone but definitely for me.
