>>14255I went ahead and started reading it (I'm on chapter 3), it's so good!! Thanks for recommending it ♡♡
Really fresh and exciting, imo at least.
Now I kinda understand why anons here complain about ukes/uke-centric stories feeling the same and how the top's always reduced to just a sentient dick kek.
Hopefully mgm commenters don't get what they want, it would be a waste to switch them.

>>14245Whenever the next COMIC CITY event rolls around I always find myself buying at least more than one doujin kek. It's so worth it though
>>14246NTAYRT but the expensive cost of shipping doujins comes more from whatever proxy is shipping it to you. Let's say a proxy service has a flat fee of 500 yen per item. If I wanted to buy 10 doujins I would already have to pay up 5000 yen. Adding onto this with the doujin's original price and domestic shipping within Japan makes it even worse. On the bright side post-tariffs my doujins have never been affected as they are classified as duty free.

Because the fujos wrote their own stuff! It's like they expect an endless wellspring of talented women to write/draw their specific ship. Commission it or do it yourself!
>it's misogynistic to hate (ignore) the female charactersThis one is also annoying because I would rather that my fave female characters just not exist in fandom, rather than get mischaracterized as motherly-types or get drawn with tits bigger than their heads by pervy men.

>>14287>I guess bisexuality only matters when the faggot leaves his man for a woman.Yup, and I've even READ BL like this and no one moralfags about it they're just like "wow how sad/what a cheating bitch" they don't try and discern your views of actual bisexuals/gays from reading about that kind of thing. People are so concerned with the portrayal of women in a genre made by and for women it's odd, as if a lot of romance shojo/josei doesn't also rely on making a lot of the female characters around the MC complete psychos to make the MC look better/innocent.
>MUH BISEXUAL REPRESENTATION Yeah you're right I've been hearing a vocal minority for a while now get upset that bisexual characters only end up in same-sex relationships, even in m/m/f love triangles, and its like first of all the average het fan does not want to see the MC be even a little gay so that leaves these kind of characters only to be in genres appealing to yaori fans who are obviously gonna root for the same sex partner. Secondly, and I'm not sure how to word this but sometimes the whole story is written very differently depending on which partner is end-game, and a lot of hetcoom tropes pop up when the het LI does win, these situations kind of end up revealing the "distance" with which m/f couples are written and then relying on the infantilization of the women, while the same sex couple acts more naturally if that makes sense? Idk this is just something I've noticed in the few bisexual love triangles I read but by default it's going to alienate a lot of people.
No.14290
>>14289>vocal minority for a while now get upset that bisexual characters only end up in same-sex relationshipsThis rarely even happens. It's always the other way around and if anyone says anything about it, people respond with the typical "bisexuals in m/f relationships are still bisexual" spiel. I remember this discourse happened with Laurent from Great Pretender. He was stated to be bisexual but you'd only ever see him flirt with women in the show and his ex was a woman, besides that it was just lame gaybait with Edamura.
No.14291
>>14290Yeah the common criticism I see is "Characters are canonically bi for diversity points but we only see them express opposite-sex attraction to play it safe", which I remember was a criticism for some Loki series a while back
No.14292
>>14258>end up attracted to the characters in yaoi and the artstyle of the authorThat's my core theory for why yume and hets latch onto gay. Gay characters (be it bromances, hinted gay/gay fanservice or actually obviously gay) are simply the better written male characters and since fujo series don't pander to waifu fags they ironically have the better written women too because they're not drawn and acting like 12 year old moe blobs.
It's simply a market niche and demand for men that mostly only fujo series fill. Fujo pandering series (including seinen like Golden Kamuy) simply ALLOW the men to have fanservice, do sexy things, have feelings, close friendships and break down and such. Something het pandering shows don't because the men are either evil rivals that the author projects their school bullies into or they're insecure, alternatively CHAD and soulless self-inserts.
There is nothing going for them, they're just there to win and fuck or to be adored by the girls. And the women are just there for cheap tradwaifu, loli or "nerd girrl" fanservice.
No.14294
>>14290>>14291NTA but perhaps it is rare for now, but I saw a huge mask-off moment in one manhwa where near the end of the second season, the bottom was revealed to still desire and pine for the wife and flat out leave the top in hopes to rekindle their relationship because his retarded masculinity or self-esteem or whatever. You wouldn't believe the amount of fakejoshis who began to draw the straight pairing and talk about "Um bisexuality exists??? It belongs in BL" from all sides of the fandom, eastern and western. The accusations of misogyny in general were thrown around, even saying how BL mistreats women (this isn't the early 2000s, jfc and it wasn't THAT common either)
They weren't covert making their distaste for the top or any of the gay content obvious. And to think there were others who laughed at the topfags who where having their melties over this. I mean it's a fucking BL, of course the fujos are going to panic at the sudden revelation that the FEMALE character has a CHANCE in the contest. I don't know why this is considered bad on the fujos' behalf but forgivable to the secret hetties.
No.14295
>>14294So irritating to me that "Bisexuality exists and belongs in BL" is used to excuse the bi character being put in a het relationship. Why can't that be true but with a bi character being monogamously attached to a dude? Isn't it unwoke/stereotypical/whatever to have bi characters in these roles?
No.14296
>>14294How did that get resolved? I don't like things like that but I guess it's cheap drama that can work for some chapters and then double down on the Real True Love between the main OTP, or the seme fucks the shit out of the uke he never thinks about pussy again.
No.14297
>>14295>>14294It's these sorts of reactions that make me leery to have a bi character who has a history with women in my stuff. Even if it's clear that the bi guy would never go back to her/pick a woman over his current relationship, annoying yumes and fakes would latch onto it in a heartbeat.
No.14299
>>14297First AYRT, me personally I actually have a story where all three members of the yaoi love triangle are bi with one having an extensive line of ex gfs. I'm super cool with bi dudes in yaoi as long as they don't do what you describe, especially if they contrast with a gay character who's all in on the relationship while the bi one is getting pussy withdrawal
No.14300
>>14297Majority of my OCs are bisexual so I get your concern too, especially as I've written them having close f/f & m/m relationships & friendships as I think that's interesting even if the endgame for all of them is a same-sex partner. I used to think just being loud about the fact that it's a yaoi/yuri would deter these people but the drama with the Egyptian BL clearly proved that wrong kek. It's weird that so many heterosexual preferring bisexuals take out so much of their anxiety about being OSA towards yaoi/yuri ships to the point where they're like "don't say this bi character is in a het relationship it's a QUEER one you're erasing their sexuality you can't call it hetslop!" Which is beyond retarded but what else is expected from the same group of people who don't believe in exclusive same sex attraction, as if having hypothetical attraction to the same sex will change that you're in a relationship with the opposite sex.
No.14301
>>14296So because it's a magical/gods BL, there was some magical shenanigans with the wife that split her in half. Anyway long story short, once the two halves were united, she immediately told him "No way fag, you're a bad person for the bad things you did. I can't get with you like that. I love you as a brother though."
That's how the author "resolved" the problem and the bi bottom began to cry like a big baby that he maimed his top horrifically all because of some misunderstanding and he loved him all along, but this is all because he has bad self-esteem and was raped before. In the end, people still double-downed on the hetshit and continued to call the fujos misogynists for disliking it. It was the stupidest cop out.
>>14300>the Egyptian BL Right on the money, kek. What a fucking shitshow. Even the KR fanbase was seething in their secret forums. In the end, the fujos ultimately lost due to the poor writing and the infiltration of the wokies and fakejoshis pining for the bottom slut.

No.14308
>>14304This. And that was ultimately the issue with that manhwa. The author was flying way too close to the sun with her current skill level and the fandom gassing up the series to be "literature" while not noticing its pitfalls, and she touched a subject/trope most BL writers refuse to write (bisexual with lingering feelings for the woman/the woman being a strong contender for the race) because it's legitimately hard to not come across as the love between the men as false or flimsy. It has its place in a "queer" romance but in a BL, it's crazy hard to break this rule and frankly it's OKAY that there's a rule, spoken or unspoken. Genre rules can be broken but some rules have to be set in stone otherwise it's no longer that a genre. That Egyptian manhwa was stupidly close to entering dangerous territory, and it was "saved" by the author going "She said no because I said so."

>>14304I'm trying to think of situations in which I'd be ok with bisexuality in BL and I can think of two options. 1. One of the guys is a widower/divorced with a cute child who gets to interact with dad's new boyfriend. 2. One of the guys thinks he's straight but then a man sweeps him off his feet.
No.14316
>>14308>That Egyptian manhwa was stupidly close to entering dangerous territory, and it was "saved" by the author going "She said no because I said so."From what I've gleaned, it seems to have been a case of 'I can't love you after anymore what you've done' vs 'I love you in spite of what you've done'. Handled by a better author (with a better audience. tbh. I think the blame does partly fall on the readers/hetshippers for this one…), that could be some amazing writing. Oh well.
>>14314I don't mind failed marriages/relationships, with the seme swooping in to pick up the pieces. That's got a lot of opportunity for some drama and interesting plots. I'm not a fan of 'evil cheating girlfriend', but done otherwise I think it could work. The bi guy just being unable to maintain a relationship with a woman because what he really wants is a man has potential.

I like writing and reading omegaverse stuff, but I never interacted with general western english speaking fans of it, just people in series fandoms or when discussing published BL. Most of the stuff I read is from jp/kr users, but because grok is all languages now and I kept looking at posts about BL the algorithm started sending me english language omegaverse posts. They're not bad but they just miss the mark for me and I mentally correct them to my tastes. Then after a few weeks of it I started being sent ones with very different language. Ones which started talking about pussy, cunt, and "pups". I always thought that shit was a myth because I'd gone years consuming omegaverse without encountering any of it and I even went some weeks reading eng tweets without seeing it either. None of the fandom specific ones have ever had it. But then suddenly it was there. I don't know why but "pups" grossed me out the most. The ones that use "pussy" and "cunt" are always a single line and amount to "he fuck him in the pussy" and nothing more so they're really easy to scroll by. The pup ones will be whole thread stories where you don't see it coming.
>>14248I dared to look at pirate site comments on something I was reading yesterday. A mod on the site had posted a meme image and people had replied to them to ask:
>why is your name green?>what's a mod?>wait mods read stuff on here too?>how do i get green name?There were multiple people confused by the word "mod." Everyone else was spamming the words "aura" and "just like solo leveling." I'm never trying this again. In comparison if you read official app comments on not-BL webtoons you'll find half or more of them will be people going "sorry I ship them" and "did I miss a BL tag? (blushing emoji)" Sometimes that's the only comments and you can basically high five all the other readers by lewd talking a random butler.
No.14320
>>14316It wasn't so much "can't love you anymore" more like "I don't love you anymore" which absolves the woman and takes her out of the race. The male character still pined, still dreamed of having that marriage with a wife and child, still wants that life with said family, still wants to have his son back, etc. Coming to the conclusion that "well I guess I loved my top all along actually" does not change the tension and angst the bottom felt at the prospect of getting his wife back.
I'm sure a more competent writer could have achieved it, but I do think it's kind of hard given the genre and the genre expectations for BL.
>I think the blame does partly fall on the readers/hetshippers for this one…I think it's a mixture of both the author's lack of skill and the fans, but really I don't think the fujos should have received any blame for their reactions when the author was genre-fucking BL and the hetties had a shitton of ammunition against the lead top.

>>14320>but really I don't think the fujos should have received any blame for their reactions when the author was genre-fucking BL and the hetties had a shitton of ammunition against the lead top.Totally agree. There's bucking genre conventions and then there's lying about the genre to attract an audience and then immediately screwing them over. I think authors know at this point that fujos are the most likely group to produce hype and fanart/etc, so fujobaity appeals seem even more mercenary than before.
