so there are ppl who are saying that this became boring yada yada yada. if it doesn’t suit your taste, don’t read it. saying it’s boring will not change anything. there’s no constructive criticism in that and it sounds whiny. im sorry that this story is at least more realistic than your average BL material that’s full of sexual assault/rape (this should not even be one of the most common plot devices in BL), miscommunication and misunderstandings. this is s2, they’ve (the couple) passed that. when a BL mostly consists of sex scenes it’s fine but when it’s actually focusing on the actual relationship the characters have, it’s boring? if you only like smut, there are so many BLs out there that can quench your thirst. don’t attack one of the few BLs that actually gives an in-depth storyline about their relationship outside of the bedroom.

i love blue lock sm but im so scared because nobody’s scared of betraying each other. i’ve been so used to peaceful teamworks and winning as a team so this really pushed me to the edge. i’ve never been this anxious over sports. i like this manga so much. it’s so unpredictable and it tests your trust on the other characters. even the main character was not designed to win and it’s always been in the brink of being eliminated (and we can never say that Isagi is safe just because he’s the MC). so scary yet so realistic.

This would be interesting also I'd like to know if this "once you get eliminated you'll never play football ever again!" is true or if it's a(nother) lie... I mean it would be quite stupid to eliminate what are considered the most talented players in Japan, ok maybe they're not good enough to win the world cup, but they can still be good pro players and have a nice career. And also they often get eliminated for a stupid reason, like the first guy who was just hit by a ball and sent away. He made one mistake, but he might be the new messi and you can't judge a player by a stupid game like that and anyway they are too young they still have a lot to learn, if someone is average at 16, he might be good at 23
i am so tired of BL materials pushing this idea that it’s so bad to be a bottom and it’s “a girl’s part.” first of all, that’s so disrespectful to the gender your lover identifies w/. imagine being comfortable w/ your sexuality and gender identity until some guy just wrecks it because you want it done in the ass. second, it’s such a huge slap in the face for girls, almost as if saying “you’re just a hole, anyone can do your part.” and the fact that bottoming is supposed to be a bad thing??? how tf is taking it by the ass is a bad thing? because “it feels like you’re a girl.”? doesn’t that say more about you who don’t want to be the bottom just because of that kind of bullshit rather than the ppl who enjoy being the bottom? and also, why is switching not normalized? being a bottom does not mean you’re the feminine one or you’re the specific one just like how being a top doesn’t have a specific standard to follow. lastly, don’t fucking chase people who are like the seme. you deserve so much better. find somebody who doesn’t have flour as a personality.
you came for his throat with that last line XD
agree so much. there should be a slogan like NORMALIZE SWITCHING
I agree with what you said about the douchy seme and the link between bottoms and girl roles in a relationship , but most authors are reflecting the norms women were the first in the receiver role in intercourse and there are other signification to gay bottons that most certainly goes back to their oedipus complex so ..is it really the plot the problem or is it the state quo of gender roles that bugs you i can't tell
You must be a girl.
It's about applying het sex roles to nonhet sex, and equating the catcher role to a women's role, right down to the guy catching being suited for it because he's "adorable" and "cute". And thinking it makes sense that the other guy's the top because he's more masc.
even if they are, their opinion is valid. for some reason there's this toxic masculinity in this specific relationship and it's disheartening to see a partner's wishes be rejected and guilt trip that very same partner into thinking that they were in the wrong.
it's fine to have a relationship where the top is masc and the bottom is fem but it becomes toxic if your beliefs is that it ALWAYS has to be that way, especially if your partner doesn't necessarily agree. having your wishes be invalidated because "that's how it should be" is toxic and exactly what this manga did.
I agree. I do honestly like dedicated roles in BL relationships (my preference). But I absolutely hate it when the bottom wants to top and the top is like "nooo that's gay!!!!" like bitch ass yes
Oh i see.Now i got it
this is my point thank u very much
yeah i am and that’s why im fucking mad.
they confuse me. imagine thinking that bottoming is so bad yet you do it to your partner. that’s just fucking selfish.
bruh why does that person make it sound like me being a girl is a bad thing? im fucking gay lmao and i also hear hets ask “so who’s the man in the relationship.” it’s not like it’s just queer men that have this problem. and just because i happen to not be a man does not mean i don’t have the capabilities to understand how fucked up some people’s opinions in mlm relationships are. people confuse me lmao.
salt has more personality than him. ugh i hate that seme so much lol.
as a switch myself, I FUCKING AGREE.
I totally agree. But remember its japan material. They are a little too far of normalize sexuality and that kind of things. We are reading stories from people that just can imagine it
dude fr. this actually applies to almost every relationship. it's the same in a het relationship how it'd be super toxic for a dude to say that a girl can't be dominant in bed and proceeds to try and monopolize her in an unhealthy way.
i can't believe people are still trying to invalidate people's opinions on gay relationships because they're not a gay male.
Ikr, I'm a bi woman myself and this is something ppl love to throw at gay women: "oh who's the man in the relationship" if someone straight up asked me that I'd be so mad. "there's no guy here, we're two women who like to make each other feel good, as women."
I dont get any of your point, really.
And no, Im not saying being a girl is bad. I just assumed girls wouldnt know how a guy would feel about wanting to top. Its in their nature man.
Plus the seme explained himself that he takes pleasure in topping. And you guys seems to forget that the seme is supposed to be a sadist. So things he said is purposely going to hurt you. Not to mention, these type of people tend to say the opposite things they wished to say, and they arent good at expressing themselves.
I get it, not many people can coup with these type of people and not everyone can understand their true feelings. They are easily misunderstood.
The uke understood him though, that's why he kept being by his side. You guys on the other hand, dont.
Imma gonna have to give you a big oof on that one chief
Idk if that's an insult or a compliment-
Definetly an insult, well deserved I'd say it's really funny how you think it's fine because a fictional character written by a (presumably straight) woman "sided" with the top instead of listening to any of these comments from other people, gay and het but eh go off
lmao that’s not my point at all. did you even read my comment and the replies??? you good? idk how you went to sadism. idfc if he likes to top, the problem is he’s making it as if bottoming is a bad thing. maybe read the replies. you’re getting off topic.
"It's in their nature" is not only bullshit but in circumstances is used to justify rape so I'd realllllly watch out with saying that if I were you. Every single person is different, you can't generalise an entire gender???
Also about the sadist comment.. I know the top was SUPPOSED to be a sadist in this manga, but after reading it, he's just an asshole manchild. He's not a sadist. So no, that "argument" does not work well either.
