Uhh, are you implying that old bl has more problematic tropes than present-day bl? LMAO
Same ! I thought that too but now i feel like my heart is flying
Exactly that's what I'm thinking. I think toxic stories are popular in the present. Some people just don't read the old fashion because they don't like the art but I think they are more refreshing.
Yeah problematic/toxic tropes are definitely more common right now. A whole new subgenre was even invented (omegaverse) in an attempt to romanticize rape even more.
Which is why what the op said confused the hell out of me lmao
Based on the old fashion drawings, I thought it will have some unhealthy yaoi tropes. But it turns out to be really refreshing!
