real, of course girls can be homophobic too, but its statistically shown that women are more likely to be less conservative and more progressive than men. plus homophobia often stems from/overlaps with misogyny.
Yess like yeah there are homophobic girls out there but they don’t usually go out of their way to sabotage one gay couple’s relationship because one of them is hot. And not to go too deep into it but girls constantly being homophobic in BL to excuse the “handsome guy” being an asshole and spewing misogynistic remarks towards them (commenting on their makeup, calling them pigs, saying they’re ugly) definitely stems from internalized misogyny.
It's bullying justified by envy. Don't understimate how petty teens get when their public crush gets all chummy with someone they don't respect. Since it is a boy they go for the gay, when it is another girl they go for the ugly.
I get the feeling its like jealousy and possesiveness, like they felt he'd come swooping in, and there'd be a chance for them to win his heart...maybe the boys besides his friends are like now i have a chance to fimd a girlfriend
The boys being supportive and the girls being homophobic is the most unrealistic part of this manga but I guess it’s fiction so it’s fine
I just hate when girls are painted as homophobic boy crazy characters in bl when they’re often the most supportive of the lgbtq community
