Do you think BLs well represents homosexuality?

It’s not realistic, but no romance is.
Most romance stories are written as an escape to reality.
For example, using the most recent literary example of a massive hit I can think of, how many people that read the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy actually had or found their “ow...

Worst love interests

Originally I was going to leave it as only the worst ML in BL, but decided to open the question to any love interest.
I got the idea for this question since I’ve been reading so many comments on Jinx.

Lapsed catholic, but leaning very heavily towards agnostic/atheist. (And yes, you can be both agnostic and atheist according to my friend google.).

What was your first manga and do you feel pleasantly nostalgic remembering it?
(7 posts, 527 views) Posted: 8 months ago by catandmouse in Manga General
It was between Eerie Queerie and Mars.
Almost from the beginning, after purchasing all 4 volumes of Eerie Queerie it lost its luster. And I haven’t reread Mars since, so I’m not sure how much my opinion has changed.

Ooh, such an interesting topic.
I racked my brain, and all the BLs that came to mind either featured all men, or only one female, then the only one that I can think of, that featured 2 women talking about something other than a man is

Ok, part of your description sounds like Lost in the cloud, because the main character did have a crush in his friend and said friend found out and tricked him and got some chubby kid from class to kiss him.

(8 posts, 8297 views) Posted: 9 months ago by catandmouse in Yaoi/Yuri
I think this one might fit? Haven’t read it, and the summary is confusing AF, but, it seems that even if it’s not full on rape, the seme does get some non-con actions done to him.
Yet you love a guy like him

LGBT manga are being banned from US schools and libraries

The way I see it, they can try banning whatever they want, if kids want to see it, they will.
It’s not like my high school carried BL, but my classmate brought in a copy of the manga Fake.

Hmmm…
I think Ouran High School Host Club fits that criteria. From what I can remember wasn’t Tamaki the one pursuing Haruhi whether conscious or subconscious?
There’s also Beauty Pop. The girl was completely indifferent (but you have to squint for the romance).

To fujoshis: Why do you like BL?
(11 posts, 1261 views) Posted: 11 months ago by catandmouse in Yaoi/Yuri
I don’t consider myself a “fujoshi” as that term brings about some negative stereotypes of fans of BL. I don’t think I’m that extreme.
Now, why do I like BL?
That’s a very good question, I don’t know if I have a clear reason for it. I was a senior in high ...

I’ve been thinking about this topic for a bit, and I got curious.
