Dude I'm crying. Since I'm the one who started this (kinda), I'm just gonna say we can't ignore the fact that there is a lot of discrimination in Japan, not as much as in some countries such as China, but well, we can't close our eyes on this issue.
BYE GUYS, Y'ALL VERY HEAVY, I'LL MUTE THIS
I'm an adult, so I will allow her to win this one. I won't respond again, I know when I have met a stubborn fool.
I wasn't even talking about that I was talking about the fact that I did not want to get involved in all this! I hate internet debates and I thought I could learn a bit about some things and then you guys started acting like that to each other! Hope you are happy everyone!
Look just mute the thing there is nothing to gain here ! You will not achieve anything by debating about political stuff from other countries! So Im gonna say possibly the final goodbies to this discussion
I was thinking the same thing. No matter where you go in the world there is going to be discrimination of some kind. No country is perfect, there is always going to people who have different view points and with that comes ignorance and discrimination. Are some countries better than others when it comes to laws and protection? Yes. However just because a country is better than another when it comes to laws and protection doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s free of discrimination. Also the whole sterile transgender people thing has always been inhumane to me and I really hope that changes soon. Anyways, I said my peace. I’m gonna mute now. Bye, I wish you guys the best.
Well this story is about how the boy is small and wants to grow, if you dont like it, fudge off?
Exactly what i did. I'm giving my opinion, if you don't like it, fudge off?
zaza, not sure if you still get the alerts for this thread, but if you do, thank you. Your information was really interesting and makes me look forward to visiting Japan. I understand your point about tolerance compared to acceptance. Given all the options presented, I'd rather live quietly in peace, too, even if it did mean being unacknowledged legally. So long as I'm alive I know there's the opportunity for improvement. :)

Omg can I just tell u how impressed I am that you've read over 1500 bls, wth!!
2-3 years in the yaoi craze and I've read over 400 I think
Replying so I can have this post saved.
Furuya Nagisa in particular has very wholesome, sweet stories, and Ichikawa Kei's characters are fun. Occasionally Yoneda Kou's works can get dark, like Twittering Birds Never Fly, but I believe even that is worth a read, even with the characters being a little twisted, mostly because of the circumstances they've gone through. But Furuya Nagisa for a palette cleanser
(Also Kotestuko Yoneda is also very, very fun, along with Natsume Isaku! both have fun characters with unique artsyles!! I like trying to share mangaka I enjoy because they usually are the ones that I trust will have a good story along with good, likable characters! But I prefer fluff so don't mind me...)
The west doesn't seem that progressive regarding their treatment towards lesbians either, people mostly fetishize them and only ever put them in their works as a fanservice.
I can agree to that....
Ummm before you come at me, I know yaoi has a female audience mainly and it's not supposed to be representative... But the author is trying to push stereotypes of seme and uke so much into the characters, it's annoying. I mean I've read 1500+ BL, it's almost always the same pattern with either a cute, small or tsundere uke and the cool seme who takes care of his boyfriend like he would take care of his child... I love Japanese BL writers but they need some original content
