You would think people who read yaoi are open minded. Instead so many have antiquated, heteronormative views of seme/ uke roles and acceptable behavior.
I think it's caused by the repetition of such uke and seme, where uke is "cute" and "naif" while the seme is kind of obsessed. By seeing some couple with the same traits, some readers may form categories : the uke is the cuter one, the girly one, the weak one, the nerdy one, the small one while the seme is the manly one. It kind of rebut me too. I like seeing more diversity, or reverse couple sometimes. I just hope people don't confuse yaoi and reality.
but that's the thing though: yaoi (not bara) itself perpetuates this kind of vision, most of the times it is antiquated and has heteronormative views of seme/ uke roles and acceptable behavior...
I also read a lot of BL novel, and very often, the uke is called "wife". Just this point tells a lot...
lmao
You read my mind
Those tiny little piglets are do cute I just cannot.
Verde is such a yandere lol. I always feel guilty seeing them in their younger forms since it feels like bortderline shota (even though they are thousands of years old) but they are so cute.
Oh and I love chibi werewolf!
This author isn’t very realistic with her plotlines and that’s ok. Her style is more farce with an emphasis on smut and I love it.
I feel like the quality of the art isn’t what it used to be.
They both are simultaneously cute and hot. And as for the twins story in between, who doesn’t love an older muscular, hairy uke getting double penetrated?
For real though, I feel like the line between yaoi and bara is blurring and I’m here for it.
Omg I thought the same. I was like, now this is more ‘bara’ style! Wow, just a few Mangakas in here with this style, it’s actually refreshing to see it; closer to the actual world of manly Yaoi. On the other hand, who doesn’t love the cute ukes with smooth baby butts as well. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Do you read Sakira? I feel like she pioneered combining bara and yaoi.
Oh don’t mind me. I fell in love with my boyfriend while I was watching him getting a blowjob from some one else.
Haha I never expected to see a comment like this
I feel like Korean art style is really influencing Japanese art style in terms of faces, manliness of the leads etc.
