bro i hate both of them. i find cain so annoying bc he's literally the puppy dog european type trope and its so bland and overused, i cant bring myself to like him. i also hate yahwi for obvious reasons idk the only one keeping me sane is jooin bc hes actually well written and likeable and develops, but the other two... sheesh

i get yaoi, but shounen ai literally translates to boys love

Shounen ai is a Japanese translation for the word “pederasty” (English) or “Knabenliebe” (Greek), which refers to the historical Greek/Rome practice of sexual relationship between an adult man and an adolescent boy. If you look into the history of the use of the word it really just meant male adult x male child relationships, but Americans for whatever reason changed the meaning. The term you should be using no matter what is BL.
wha-what? what ..? i need to take a seat for a sec.
