I have a questionnn. So I saw a TikTok today of this girl explaining to her partner the books she has read and it was like the we listen and we don’t judge trend. ANYWAYS. These books were like so crazy, glorifying SA (romanticizing it) and toxic relationships and such. So I don’t rlly care if ppl read that stuff, honestly if u can separate fiction and reality, by all means read it idc. BUT when BL on here shows some SA, ppl drop it (valid, cuz there is a lot) but they act like BL/Yaoi are the only genre that does this. I’m here to say it is EVERY FREAKING ROMANCE GENRE. not saying everyone should just deal with it, but saying BL is the only one with this problem is just false. Do u think it’s cuz there are pictures drawn? And it actually shows it? But man those romance books are more graphic with words than any of the BL manwhas and mangas I have read lol. Anyways I don’t want arguments, just opinions, I was just appalled at this girl describing these books and everyone in the comments acting like it’s a normal book . One was infamously “Haunting Adeline” or something like that lol
this, doesn't matter if it's straight, gl or bl, SA should never be romanticized, and once, when I commented abt it (on tiktok), some of the booktok girlies were like "duh, it's dark romance" like ok I get it, but it's insane when they wish to have a guy like those so-called "dark romance" books they've been reading just bcz the author described them as hot, possessive, obsessive or whatever
Agreed! Tbh I haven't read them but I know damn well. There is a bunch of "booktok girlies" on the internet who do nothing but read problematic porn (or 'dark romance's as they call it). So it's definitely not just bl that has this stuff. Also I've seen plenty of people literally worship zade meadows (the ml of haunting Adeline) and glorify all of his problematic actions (the gun scene iykyk). Also I'm not really criticising them here since I'm probably not much better than them (if not worse) considering my reading lists and my favourite characters.
I literally read this Bl like not too long ago but I can’t remember the name and I NEED to catch up with it Bc I cannot stand leaving something unread when I start reading it. It’s about the uke who is a pianist and the seme who is a swimmer (who secretly listens to use playing piano). The Ike can’t play piano cuz he missed a note in front of audience and thinks he causes the ppl around him to be miserable bc he’s good at playing piano. Plz help me omg. The title was like the seas nocturne or something but it doesn’t show up when I search it.
Low key if I was MC id crash tf out. Like I understand the guild 100% for wanting to save (get revenge, whatever u call it lol) ano, but ML tricked MC into thinking he loved him. Like could have been honest from the start and just ask for help instead of making a false relationship so to speak. I mean MC would understand cuz he also lost someone. But I’m also very emotional when it comes to lying or keeping stuff in the dark from me so maybe it’s not as big of a deal as I think it is. BUT I’m ready for the chasing arc regardless hehehe
Nah because I was literally thinking the same exact thing.
I WOULD 1000000% crash tf out if I was mc, he's a fucking soldier that's for damn sure. Their problems would be solved if they COMMUNICATED with each other. But to be fair... We are talking about BL, and BL (atp) is known for miscommunication
