The term yaoi...
How do yall feel about calling Yaoi: nsfw BL And Shounen ai: BL Because I feel like we should normalize this in order to get those p3d0phil1c terms outta here.
The only thing all this terminology changing y'all have been suggesting lately would do is make it harder to effectively communicate the multitude of problems with yaoi/bl, its authors/artists/editors/etc., and its audience. Not calling fujos fujos and not calling yaoi yaoi only puts yet another obstacle in the way of solving those issues. 1 reply
Why do you people think Boys Love and Shounen Ai mean something different?? Shounen Ai literally translates to Boys Love.
I also fail to see why it matters what we call it? Yaoi is a word that continues to encompass all form of MLM media in both Japan and in the west. What’s with all this change in terminology and why have western viewers taken...... 1 reply
Yes. Yaoi isn't just BL, Yaoi also means "girl with a dick" uke and rich, strong, handsome, rapist seme. BL really is the right choice of word if you don't support that kind of stuff reply
From what I have been taught, BL is a umbrella term that describes any sort of media that has mlm content, whether it be nsfw or not. However, I am fine with whatever you guys want to call it. Just, please, I hate the terms uke and seme- reply
