Femmephobia is so real lmfaoooo

The hate on twinks on this site high-key reflects real life in the queer community. It’s such an interesting phenomenon of certain groups of people disappointed in feminine traits and it lowkey feels misogynistic since the devaluing of femininity is in its core misogyny. Consumers are also seeking out more masculine (maybe with a dash of flare/flamboyance) and dare I say more straight passing gay couples

    I don't care for manly x twink because I'm an old school yaoi reader and that's the primary dynamic of bl/yaoi comics from the 60s up until the 2000s early 2010s -ish. With the exception of the extreme bishounen x bishounen era. Also, real gay asians have internalized mysogyny that makes guys ashamed for being largely built but wanting to take the rod. They force the manly x twink in their community (whooooole other rabbit hole). So I was devastated when my boy got twink zapped, but still having a great time. I've actually never seen twink hate, is it in this comment section too?

    Yes it’s in this comment thread and others works that have a more feminine presenting character. I’m mainly commenting because I’ve noticed a thread in people complaining about how twinkfied or soft/feminine presenting a character is when the cover is right there. In a work with a ‘straight passing’ (don’t know how else to describe it at this moment) tend to have no complaints about the characters mannerism or appearance as an issue. And bara is in its own lane, no one bother them and they don’t bother anyone. Idk about real gay men but I assume this is a mostly western viewers here and although you see more feminine presenting gay male in media. In the gay community, there’s a lot of issue with gay men looking down on more feminine and ‘girly I guess’ presenting gay men.

    I don't know how I've literally never seen hate, only disinterest and other dislike as a preference. I'll keep an eye out from now on fr

    It’s not really hate on “twinks”, it’s more of the annoying fact that >90% BL manga forcefully makes the uke (bottom) in some shape or form more “feminine” than the seme (top). The fact that I can’t see equally “manly” men or equally “feminine” men date each other is what really ticks me off.
