What’s a BL trope that you’re sick and tired of?

I’ll start— I’ve grown to despise the “I’m only gay for you/ I don’t like men, i like you because you’re you” type of MC/ML. It’s not romantic, it’s annoying, and honestly homophobic, if the ‘straightness’ is the main charm point of your BL character. Those writers try to make you think that this means a man only fell in love because of the other dude’s personality but then you got them sticking balls-deep in butts and suckling on balls. It’s 2025, stop making BL main characters straight ffs, they gotta be at least bisexual. Is it that hard to accept that being turned on by a man’s body means they’re not straight as the fucking pole like the illustrated dicks they choke on.

I usually choose safe reads, so my experiences are mostly positive (aside from the sudden heartbreak of Scammed & Rammed and Bad Apple). So because of that mostly positive experience I don’t dislike any particular trope, but I do wish there were more BL manga/manhwa/ manhua with strong action, mystery, or thought-provoking plots, like Little Mush...... 2 reply

Domverse. I hate domverse. It might be starting to get on my nerves more than omegaverse, which is an incredible feat. It's just SO BORINGGGGGG. I enjoy BDSM stories I find them fun. I'm not particularly into BDSM but I enjoy the dynamics it brings to the characters and their development. I like when it's something new for them that they're trying ...... reply
