I LOVE ukes like this so much better than the cocky fuckboy semes and blushing naive virgin ukes, this is such a nice change it actually feels like they’re equal for once
I don’t get why semes are allowed to be insufferable fuckboys but if uke WHO ISNT DATING SEME AND DOESNT KNOW HIM WELL has a sex life he is immedielty a ‘psycho bitch whore’. What’s even more irritating is that seme in this story is also promiscuous but ppl in the comments are choosing to ignore that…
Lmaooo uke acts like a typical seme and everyone in the comments are mad about it what a mf surprise
Eh it depends, there can be readers who judge Uke’s more harshly than seme’s but there also tons who let Uke’s get away with things that they would be furious at seme’s for.
(Example: I read this one story where the Seme got drugged by a crazy dude and due to it, he couldn’t control himself and was under an aphrodisiac type state, people were angry at the Seme accusing him of trying to cheat- but would jump to the Uke’s defense of the Uke if the Uke was the one that got drugged). A lot of Uke’s also get away with being indecisive or like to have a hoe phase and people will defend them but will hate on seme’s who are like that.
Lol like i said it does depend. Lots of readers are/can be aware and will literally cuss out and call out ass ML/Seme. Examples are backlight, jinx, beyond memories, non zero sum, kiss me liar, profundis, unfinished business, nearly every red flag BL manhua lmao, and those were just a few. All those stories comments sections and social media posts about them are constantly filled with hate and acknowledgement for the Seme being trash.
Of course I know you’re not wrong that there’s still plenty who will excuse trash Seme just cause they’re hot. I just pointed out that many don’t even seem to notice the double standards they apply to Uke mc’s. It feels like it goes under the radar and many don’t even notice that readers constantly excuse Uke’s for things they would hate about a love interest Seme (being indecisive, leading 2nd ML on, being drunk and getting intimate with others, etc). It really just goes both ways and there’s still hundreds who will call out the wrongs of any characters. Only those who are obsessed with looks or have rose colored glasses on would be idiotic to excuse or have such double standards.

It doesn’t really make sense to generalize readers thinking everyone has those double standards you speak of. I’ve seen way more people calling out wrong characters rather than people getting away with excusing them.
I’m using the manga that’s actually on this site as reference girlie fart please just look through the countless bl that features a man slut top and you’ll see people don’t say shit in comparison to when the bottom is the promiscuous one. If u need examples look at Penetrate ‘Me With Your Eyes’, an ‘Into the Thrill’. The early comments towards the ukes in these stories were DISGUSTING.
Don’t make me write you as scholarly essay on how majority of bl writers are women and how they unwittingly apply misogynistic gender roles into their characters, which is why you see a lot of older bl where the bottom and tops don’t switch, and the tops are almost always masculine while bottoms appear almost feminine lmaoooo
EVERY NEW CHAPTER HURTS!!! I can’t handle this it’s too much it’s tooooo much
