"Stereotypes", as you put it, are either based in some sort of truth or the result of propaganda. And there is no propaganda effort against BL or its readers, so... you do the math.   reply

Most of the popular ships are either toxic, have at least one minor, or both, so uh... Yikes.   1 reply

I mean there's a lot of shitty takes on this site and if I don't say anything when I see them then I'm just allowing things that I find harmful and ignorant or otherwise just reprehensible in one way or another to continue to spread unchecked.   reply

Can we not ask this if we already know the answer thanks   1 reply

Anyone who says "fiction doesn't affect reality" is full of shit. The very reality we currently live in only exists because of the influence of fictional content, it's literally changed the course of fucking history before.   reply

I find tiktok to be completely and utterly obnoxious as much as the next person, but every time I hear someone complain about tiktok and people from tiktok as it pertains to this website, it's never not stupid as hell. The "why can't they use another site" shit is so fucking dumb. I've seen way too many people saying this lately and it's just... w......   1 reply

I mean, I wouldn't say the insane amount of people trying to falsely paint you as misogynistic and homophobic were "dragging you through the mud" as much as they were just embarrassing themselves. Most of what you were saying made sense. People on this site just aren't particularly good at using their heads, as evidenced by just how many people wer......   2 reply

Calling both yaoi and shounen-ai by the same term, bl, is an awful idea. On what planet does that not lead to unnecessary and, considering the difference in content and what's appropriate for who, potentially harmful ambiguity?   reply

I literally avoid going into retailers that sell BL content and just generally people who read BL for this exact reason irl. Encounters like this happen way more often than y'all on here seem to think they do (and far too often to chalk things up to solely "bad apples"), and there is not a single good reason for me, or anyone else for that matter,......   1 reply

No, actually, I don't. People on this site just have a real knack for being extremely blockable. On other sites I rarely block anyone ever, but here I've blocked so many people I don't even remember them all.   1 reply

Ew no, why the fuck would you do that to yourself?   reply

The irony of posting this on the site where we have to call people out for fetishizing mlm and trying to justify rape and shota multiple times a week, hell often multiple times a DAY, should be lost on no one...   1 reply

Wait.. so y'all mad because someone had shitty scanlations and someone else with better scanslations uploaded over them..? Bruh this is fucking stupid... They did y'all a fucking favor, why y'all getting pressed? Who cares who's uploading, if they got better quality they got better quality and they should be the one uploading.   1 reply

This right here. Not to mention the consumption of shitty depictions of straight people and the consumption of shitty depictions of lgbt+ people do NOT have the same impact and shouldn't be treated as if they do.   1 reply

Cult behavior, honestly. This is why all the kool-aid drinkers were straight.   reply

Nothing? Not like I gotta see 'em, too, so as long as they're clean why should I care, lmao.   reply

If you're like most people on this site then yes, there's absolutely something wrong with it.   reply
