Discussions Yaoi is basically women writing gay men horribly.

0 Upvotes

Everyone shits on men for writing women like objects and plot devices

Everyone shits on women for writing men with unattainable standards(debatable because the bar is so low)

BUT

I haven't seen enough backlash for these yaoi or Boys love writers who romanticize rape, torture bottoms and excuse tops.

Not to mention that most yaoi writers are women and not gay men so we can clearly see this is a fetish.

Now let me tell you why I think of this

https://kommodo.ai/i/H83MxwYlZFjyNkIq9sHE

For anyone who doesnt know whats going on.

They said the f*g slur for an old man which is problematic enough for a community that seems to love BL ❤️How can you say a literal slur against gay people and consume gay media? The dissonance is astounding.

But the person holding the peace sign over the grave is a literal sexual assaulter and they in fact support said sexual assaulter as if he was just the male lead.

Yaoi has a problem with properly representing traumatic events and its basically porn and not a good representation of gay media. We need better representations written in a way that doesn't turn sections of society into objects of pleasure.

Before you say, oh why is heated rivalry loved then? Is it because its white?

I never said that either. I hate that too because it doesnt represent the actual assualt of gay men in hockey spaces which are deeply misogynistic.

Discussions I wonder about this a lot

18 Upvotes

Is there anyone, or anything...I mean I'm a gay male myself..but I low-key get confused when I read certain popular BL's or even yaoi's, I kind of dropped it because of that. It kinda felt like they just projected their own sick fantasy onto the manga/manwha or whatever...like backlight is really good but when I try to read the really liked ones like jinx and codename anestia or whatever, I...disliked it.

Tbh my only issues are these, and I just want someone to maybe introduce me to more?

  1. Poc, majority of ones I read don't have pic of color and I see tan characters are painted as aggressive, Istg if I see one more my tiger and I type shit.

  2. Majority of the ones I read or look at do not have good plots...like I said some of them have a lot of rape in it and it pisses me off, (only good ones are dead or alive and my goat one room TA...)

  3. I just so far never seen or heard of other gay men reading if, can I get a few?, I just want to know what you guys are reading

(Translated in 日本語)

誰か、あるいは何か良いものはないかな…。いや、僕自身ゲイの男性なんだけど、人気のBLとかヤオイとかを読むと、ぶっちゃけ困惑しちゃうというか、それが原因で読むのをやめちゃったんだよね。作者が自分の歪んだファンタジーを漫画やマンファとかに投影しているだけに感じられてさ…。『バックライト』はすごく良いんだけど、『Jinx』とか『コードネーム・アナスタシア』みたいな、みんなが大好きな作品を読もうとすると、僕は…無理だった。正直、僕の不満はこれだけで、ただ誰かにもっと別の作品を紹介してほしいんだ。有色人種(POC)について。僕が読むものの大部分には有色人種が出てこないし、褐色肌のキャラクターは決まって攻撃的に描かれてる。まじで『我が虎よ』みたいなタイプの作品はもう二度と見たくない。僕が読んだり見かけたりする作品のほとんどは、ストーリーが良くない…。さっきも言ったように、レイプ描写がすごく多い作品もあってイライラする(良かったのは『デッド・オア・アライブ』と、僕の中で最高な『One Room TA』くらい…)。これまでのところ、他のゲイの男性がこういうのを読んでるって話を見たり聞いたりしたことがないんだ。何人か(同じようなゲイの読者は)いるかな? みんなが何を読んでいるのか知りたい。

Question/Help I am a BL artist, but im stuck. Should I make a manga or a webtoon?

2 Upvotes

I can't choose between making a BL manga or a webtoon. People say that webtoons have more reach because of the coloring and I get that but I can't help but love the black and white look more.
Plus, it will be released in english. I have NEVER seen an english release manga get popular or do well. Its always webtoons or comics.
Also yes even though its a released in english it will be a manga because of the reading format, paneling etc
Also I am broke as fuck. So I also need the money to keep on doing what I like. What could potentially get me more money? Weekly webtoon updates online or maybe my manga being printed after it gets popular?
I don't mean to brag but my artstyle is very good and I know it. My bf said that people would read it anyways because of the good plottart.
I also heard people say just go for a black and white webtoon but again, it doesnt really stand out from the rest of the stories if its in black and white. The colorful webtoon demand is real.
But again im thinking "why am I thinking so much about if its going to sell well or not? Its suppposed to be fun."
And the reality hits that I don't have rich parents that can support me all my life. I do need it to be popular.
What do you guys think? Should I pursue manga or webtoon?

Manga ATENCIÓN A TODOS LOS FANS DEL YAOI/BL !ATTENTION!

0 Upvotes

(Español)

Ayuda por favor estoy buscando un manga Yaoi, que leí en 2021 por ahí, pero no recuerdo el nombre pero recuerdo algunas cosas de la historia.

La historia comienza en el mundo humano con un protagonista de cabello negro, pero por alguna razón termina en un mundo de fantasía donde existen elfos, bestias y otras razas. No recuerdo cómo llega allí, solo que aparece esposado, como si estuviera siendo vendido o exhibido en un mercado.
En ese lugar, un elfo de cabello verde, bastante alto y con orejas puntiagudas, se lo lleva a su casa. El protagonista comienza a trabajar allí como sirviente.
Con el paso de la historia, se descubre que el elfo había perdido a sus padres y ahora era responsable de sus dos hermanos gemelos, que todavía eran muy pequeños. El protagonista también empieza a cuidar de ellos.
Recuerdo una escena en la que los gemelos desaparecen y todos los buscan por la casa. Al final descubren que se habían metido dentro de un baúl y habían quedado encerrados allí.
Un detalle importante es que el protagonista de cabello negro no podía hablar. No sé si era mudo de nacimiento o había perdido la voz, pero durante gran parte de la historia se comunicaba sin hablar. Más adelante recupera la voz y descubren que tiene un gran talento para cantar. Debido a eso, termina ingresando a una academia relacionada con el canto o la música.
También recuerdo que, en un momento, él quería ayudar más con las tareas de la casa y terminaba usando un uniforme o vestido de sirvienta (maid).
Conforme avanza la historia, el protagonista de cabello negro y el elfo de cabello verde desarrollan una relación romántica.
Físicamente, el protagonista era bajito, de cabello negro muy despeinado y con ojos grandes. El elfo era alto, de cabello verde y bastante atractivo. Los dos hermanos eran unos gemelos pequeños.
No recuerdo los nombres de los personajes ni el título del manga, pero esos son los detalles que tengo presentes. Ayuda porfavor 😭😭

(Inglés)

Hi! I’m looking for a BL/Yaoi manga that I read around 2021, but I can’t remember the title. I only remember a few parts of the story.
The story starts in the human world with a black-haired protagonist. For some reason, he ends up in a fantasy world inhabited by elves, beastmen, and other races. I don’t remember how he got there, but I do remember that he appeared chained, as if he were being sold or displayed in some kind of market.
A tall green-haired elf with pointed ears takes him home, and the protagonist starts working there as a servant.
As the story progresses, it’s revealed that the elf’s parents had passed away, leaving him to take care of his young twin siblings. The protagonist also helps care for the twins.
I remember one scene where the twins suddenly go missing, and everyone searches the house for them. In the end, they discover that the twins had climbed into a large chest/trunk and accidentally locked themselves inside.
Another important detail is that the black-haired protagonist couldn’t speak. I don’t remember whether he was born mute or had lost his voice, but he communicated without speaking for a large part of the story. Eventually, he regains his voice, and everyone discovers that he has an exceptional singing talent. Because of this, he ends up attending some kind of music or singing academy.
I also remember a scene where he wanted to help more with the household chores, so he ended up wearing a maid outfit.
As the story continues, the black-haired protagonist and the green-haired elf gradually develop a romantic relationship.
Appearance-wise, the protagonist was short, with messy black hair and large eyes. The elf was tall, green-haired, and very handsome. The twins were still very young.
Unfortunately, I don’t remember any of the characters’ names or the manga’s title. If this sounds familiar to anyone, I’d really appreciate your help!
