My bad. Been years and my memory of spelling is mostly from bad translations and middle school memories.

I think Wrio/Lyney is interesting and pretty hot. It's good for hatesex at least.

>>6639
>Wrio/Lyney
It had no business to be so intense I almost hated Wrio until reveal, damn that thug enjoyed mind torturing Lyney
Fontaine story loves punching three legged pups like Furina and him, there’s Navia suffering too but idc

Yeah I can see that, imo I associate snoking with detectives and military officers so I'm with the other anon and to me it's a mark of maturity, but also irl it does come across as sad people who got hooked as a teenager or young adult. It's funny because I have the same revulsion marijuana that >>6531 has for smoking and see it as obnoxious young adult trite, but Hollywood really did their job because smoking, thanks to decades of film, is visually one of the coolest things a character can do.

>>6531
Well I guess my experience vastly diverges from you own but I am not talking shit as you imply, it's always the ex-smokers and people related to smokers that have an issue for logical reasons. Smoking is simply not a personal problem of mine to as it seems to be for you so I casually enjoy smoking characters. Nobody will die from it because it's fiction so it's perfectly fine, whatever, irrelevant, peace, whatever, what I said is still true because I was talking from a subjective experience.
Also I casually drink myself but consider alc a much bigger problem because 50% of all deadly crashes are related to it so yes, other drugs are literally and unironically more damaging than smoking and unlike smokers half of my country are functioning alcoholics (nothing against alcohol itself or alcohol drinking characters).

I like smoking if the character is pathetic and it's clear there's a consequence to the vice. If you don't work more detail into it than just holding something to the lips to look cool then it's not using the potential properly, it's visuals for visuals sake. I want some insecurity, a nervous habit, some self hatred, anything to add flavor to the act. Grim noir will always serve on that.

It would be based if they didn't brag about it in a discord

>Anyway it was toxic and they never talked about their ships because everybody ships the husbando with someone else (themselves) so they just browsed tumblr to find posts to get angry about and once in a week they booted one of their own because they got into a fight.
>One thing I noticed (this isn't about yume but mass effect tumblr yumes) was that all of them were married NEETs living in the apartment of their husbands. They always hated on men, called them shit and talked about how women don't need them and just two minutes later they mentioned how their husband bought them some overpriced nerd shit of their husbando again and cooked food for them.
Kek this genuinely sounds like most posters on Lolcow to a T.

I just can't stand dishonesty in general and neither people that act like princesses so I was happy to leave that fandom behind. They have no honor IMO because they do what they pretend to hate.
They are for some reason obsessed about being independent while being simultaneously incapable of going to the grocery store so a man does it for them them and buys their food like a parent does for their toddler. I just believe that their annoying attitude stems from that exact cognitive dissonance and they project their hatred onto others, especially women with a normal lifestyle.

I have no idea where this mindset comes from so I headcanon that these people stem from some fundamentalist shithole towns or got brainwashed by their parents. None of the women I know personally were ever afraid or in need of men and most are pretty independent in general, even the ones that are married. It's like a foreign culture to me. I never met a woman who was afraid of leaving the apartment at night or was too insecure to go to the supermarket and it actually reminds of the males of my own country's altchan which is one of the cringiest places on earth and full of grown ass dudes who are too afraid to face the pizza supplier.
To me it reeks of infantilization of girls and must therefore come from the parents and environment. And they are proud of it which rubs me the wrong way and I don't want to be associated with this.

>Can we keep the discussion focused on the actual fan impact not the general politics?
This entire topic is political, so I don't know how you even could. China cracking down on fujo stems directly from their communism, not 'traditional Han values' as historically nobody cared if men had homo sex as long as they fulfilled their duty of fathering children.

>I wonder if this means there will be less Chinese fanworks on Ao3, it is by far the "foreign language" I see most on there.
There will be more, because the fujo mind cannot be cured. Not even crackdowns on VPNs will prevent fujo.

BTW, Fujochan is not blocked in China (tested with https://www.chinafirewalltest.com), so you can invite any Chinese fujo to make threads and post here in Chinese (posting in foreign languages is not against the rules).

>China cracking down on fujo stems directly from their communism, not 'traditional Han values
This, Taiwan has way more traditional Han culture then modern-day China and they have a thriving gay scene and BL airs on mainstream television. The problem with China is that its leaders are ideologically driven and because it is an authoritarian country they can implement those ideas

this article is from 2020, long before China actually started seriously banning bl and erotica, i'm really sad to say, but it's actually over for them, no one wants to risk a fine or jail time

>>6251
You didn't answer my actual point, but oh well. I've already accepted there isn't a good term for the archetype I enjoy. And with that we're at Bumplimit and need a new thread.

>>6250
in my life i saw more on the left side the yuri community than the yaoi one lol and usually people who bring up "canon this and that" are a) haters of the ship or the manga/anime b) chuds bothered by gay fanart

Where is the megane option?

I started getting into comics and Manga when I was about 10-11, starting off with series our library had like Pokemon adventures, Ranma ½, stray volumes of shounen like Bleach and Onepiece, etc. It gave me a real love for Manga as a medium. I was bound to what was physically there since I didn’t have unrestricted internet access until I was 14. But once I did, I heard about all the pirating sites like KissManga, MangaFox, etc. and went to check them out since I had developed such a strong love for Manga. I had a diverse taste genre wise and would always browse the genre section to find a series with a plot I would be interested in. There I saw it… The Yaoi section. I was intrigued as to what it was. I clicked on it and had a metaphorical, spiritual nosebleed… And from then on I would read as much BL as I could get my hands on, from the classics like Junjou Romantica and Loveless to random one shots I’ll never remember again. I was really into Mei Sakuraga (pic rel) and CJ Michalski’s works for some reason lol. The rest is history…

Because of this, I’m a rare breed (at least from what I've seen on FC) that prefers canon BL properties and pairings and doesn’t ship much apart from my small handful of pet ships (and when I do it’s usually some unofficial pairing of side characters from said BL works lmao)

I was shipping before I knew what it was. The first "yaoi" I ever saw was fanart in Animerica (which I actually tracked down for that nostalgia thread that got lost in the raid) and tripped over fanfiction shortly afterward. It's funny how ravenous for it I was back then, I multishipped like crazy and would try anything once. Now I'm super specific about ships and will block over petty shit like NOTPs (￣ヘ￣)

As for original BL, the first one I ever bought was Eerie Queerie (jp: Ghost!). I don't remember a damn thing about it other than the mild titillation of having it physically in my house.

Some youtubers I liked when I was a preteen were compared to Makoharu from Free! which made me check out the anime and resulted in me shifting fixation to sports anime (and the ships). Later on, I had this app named Mangarock on my phone that had a massive library of scanlated manga and "yaoi" was a genre there, which I checked out of curiosity. In the present, much like OP, I am not into RPS at all and Mangarock is a shell of its former self that does not host scanlations anymore.

Having a comment option on a bl appgame sounds so fucking funny lol, petition to implement this for all blvns

Please tell me someone else remembers this shit, the way this abridged series literally shaped my humour for the worse during my formative years lmao, every other day shit from this series just runs through my head and I have literally no one I can explain it to, I remember being distraught when the whole series was removed from YouTube, the first part about junjou egoist seems to be actual lost media as though the other parts have been salvaged that one is no where to be found

For anyone who cares, here's a YouTube video archiving a very short BL VN that was considered 'lost' until the video was uploaded. If anyone has an interest in it, you may want to save the video in case YouTube ever takes it down.

Sometimes you're perusing the bottom of the barrel of your fandom and see some wtf crossovers.

>>1542
To be honest I could never get into crackship since the dynamic is all that makes ships attractive to me and you basically have to make up the whole dynamic yourself for crack and my autism won't let me drift away too much from canon anyway.
I am usually indifferent though but I can dislike it if it blows up like in one of my fandoms where crack stuff has overtaken the canon ships and the heavily hinted ships and none of the crack makes any sort of sense. It's entirely OC and headcanon based with the skins of existing characters so I cannot even view the characters as the ones I like. Maybe I lack the imagination, no idea.

>>5934
Do you think if there was a perceived dynamic in a crossover ship you could get into it? Say criminal from one series, police officer from another, or is that still too far removed from source?

>>5407
I don't hate Souda but so many people have this opinion it's pretty funny.

>What a cool design
>Dudebro personality

Lol

He could have been chill or a fun yankee but he was a comedic relief simp instead… I will say that I found his backstory kind of interesting though, I remember filling out his free time events and him being an annoying scamp and then suddenly hitting me with crazy shit about how he actually looks bland and his dad beats him

Both would be the best, but I care about the characters being interesting more, for me personally the characters being engaging on their own is more important than interactions, especially if most of the interactions are cookie-cutter, if they don't have an interesting story or origin even, I am not really going to be into them.
My favorite dynamic is antagonist/antihero/antagonist with redemption arc with hero, and often thankfully the nemesis gets a great design, even better than the mains.

What Garma clones are there in Gundam other than Gaelio?

There's Noin. She's female though… and in love with the Char expy

(Mods can delete this if it's against the rules)

>>5490
I forgot about her (since she doesn't die/have a fake death or gets betrayed).
