it's sad because 99% of yaoi mangas are based on fantasy and fetishizing since the very beginning. so most of the authors couldn't care less about lgbt+ community or whatever. they just want to sell and profit from them.
but fortunately this community improved a lot. I mean, 5y ago I don't remember seeing anyone complaining about SA in the stories, so I guess at least we're getting better
Oh absolutely true! And its nice that its improving. I do remember being the only one out of my friends asking these questions back in the day and them kinda just dismissing it into fantasy. But the thing is, its a story and we can get bit infested in it because its not just a smutty one scene of p*rn. It's multiple chapters and othering rest of the gays that appear in the plot into goons and r*pists just makes me feel like the author do not see real life gay men as humans :(
I wouldn't be surprised if we discovered that most of them just see being gay as a kink or maybe even as a some mental problem, really.
Another terrible plot the authors used to love back then was "I became gay after a bad experience with a woman in my life"
Yesssss or "I'm not gay, I'm straight but I like you." Or dismissin pan and bisexuality. Etc.
Iām glad Iām not the only one who feels this!
This manga is so homophobic aaaghhhh
Why do yaoi writers make gay people into r*pists?
