literally, it's not that deep. why are we trying to have a #wokemoment on mangago. get a grip. go read ur yaoi and sit down grandma. heteronormity in bl is completely irrelevant to whatever it is ur trying to say. being a mother doesnt mean you have to be a woman. some trans people with kids are ok with being called whatever. it all boils down to the individual.

why are you so pressed? it's not having a #wokemoment, it's just pointing out that it's weird for authors to impose feminine labels on characters that IDENTIFY as men. if you're going to argue that it boils down to what they want to be called---none of these characters explicitly (or even implicitly) mentioned wanting to be called "mother". they were following the logic of the setting that the AUTHOR decided on. take the hyesung from love is an illusion for example, aside from being labeled a mother, he was literally called an auntie. which, didnt make sense??
also please lay off the hostility, nobody's trying to attack you. op is literally just trying to have a conversation??? which is also important to have bc what we read DOES affect how we behave in real life. reading stuff that depicts gay relationships in a heteronormative light also affects how we look at actual gay men. i mean, have you seen people online who sees two men and then start publicly speculating about who is the bottom and who is the top? we need to have conversations like this lol.
Why do people call males who identify as men and give birth in mpreg stories 'mother'? They're not and that's fine because not every family should have a father and a mother.
Giving birth doesn't equate being a mother. It pisses me.
