People who read straight manhwas / manhuas ( excluding mangas ), how do you manage to read them because I find most of them having the same power dynamics, toxicity, gender imbalance, gender roles, toxic tropes, harassment tropes, dumbing down and having one dimensional female characters, stereotypical feminine roles or "quirky" characters who have no personality of their own and are a mere monolith.
(May be TMI but the power imbalances give me body dysphoria and wish I was born in a different body because then life would be so so much easier and better without any stupid social expectations or a history of crime because I was born an "inferior" human being )
I have read some good ones, but they still utilise the same power imbalances which turned me and many other readers to bls - where atleast there aren't gender imbalances or gender roles and both the partners have free will. Not dismissing the glaring problem or so so many of the recent bl manhuas having rape / stockholm syndrome

As someone who reads both straight and BL manga/webtoons, just like BL, you just have to find the good ones. There are many good straight manga/webtoons out there reply
at least with bl the MLs are explicitly bad. as for the straight ones, the author is always trying to paint the ml as good. i try to read ones that heavily focus on more plot than the romance 1 reply
