    I dont think its wrong to read bl and niether do i think its wrong to read other genres like gl. I mean lots of people are more open-minded in their genres these days.

    the 'guys' in yaoi generally look more like girls or at least are very feminine.

    meanwhile if you've ever seen any gay porn that's about as disgusting as it gets (sorry but not sorry)

    Ah~ I kinda understand what you’re getting at. Though I kinda agreedisagree about all the boys in BL being more feminine.

    But real life gay is kinda . . . Uh, yeah.

    ....... I think it's quite funny .....
    Why is there no option for "straight female"???? By definition yaoi is made for fanservicing straight females. BL is a more tame broad term which has more content and a wide range of fanservice from little to off the charts high. And many read it. But still STRAIGHT FEMALES read that mostly


    If you're serious about your poll I still don't like your concept. I take this word "perverted" quite seriously. (Yeah~ I am totally not a perv) Many BL readers aren't pervs in fact. They are quite simplt. As for "a female wanting to be a male" I never wanted to be known/ be as a male...

    You are wrong. It's mostly straight females who enjoy that stuff.... Not "gay men".
    For gay men it's bara which I dislike tbh.
    In fact some members of the gay community view BL negatively. But that's understood lol.

    BL has little to do with LGBT+ irl...

    I'm not trying to say that they're all tomgirls or such (though there definitely are ones as well, though mostly in the form of traps and for men rather than women), but there's definitely a lot of these "bishie"s in BL/yaoi.

    And really any bishounen I've seen look quite feminine, kind of like women trying to look like men actually (tomboy).

    Like the closest thing I can think of IRL would be male kpop idols, and they're generally anything but masculine...

    Nice to meet you! Haha!

    Yep true! As a proud fundanshi I agree with this statement. Like any story, it has to be good.

    What really? I think a lot of people in the gay community view BL quite positively actually.
    And BL has lots to do with LGBT and IRL.

    A lot of BL series tackle the issue of acception and being proud of who you are. A person just happens to like another person. And that person happens to be male. Does that make you gay? It kind of does, but it’s much more than that. It’s just pure affection and love, not some stupid crap that can be labeled and named. It’s really just loving someone no matter the cost.
    And in a lot BL stories with storylines on accepting that you’re gay and coming out of the closet. TBH, a lot of BL stories do that, they speak a lot about the mental and social difficulties. As in how things are going to be different and stuff.
    I’ve read enough BL to know it rather tackles the issues really well.
    The issues that a lot of LGBT groups are tackling and trying to win.

    Yep! A lot of BL novels have really feminine MCs. I too agree that it’s quite annoying and a bit unrelatable.
    I read BL for males to be males.
    If I wanted a girly character. I’d read a girl not a boy.
    It really makes sense that way.

    A lot of things. Don't deny it. I have an unhealthy obsession for gender bender straight romances, and I don't treat it as normal. lol
    Anyway, I'm not considering them bad people or anything, just weird. (And not in a bad type of weird...like the weird friend who you would make fun of and joke around with but still love him all the same. Its a bad example, just saying that I'm not disappointed, just dissatisfied in a way that I don't really mind.)
    The "Perverted Woman" option is that one. I'm just making a joke saying that a straight woman who reads BL is definitely a pervert. (And before you take offense in that, I'll just say, I too am a pervert so I'm completely not looking down on anyone.)
    "She"? I thought it was obvious that I was a guy from the way I was talking so I didn't bother mentioning it.
    No, not saying you're horrible. I just wanted to believe women were not as perverted as like us men. (Cause we enjoy lesbian stuff so we know that you guys are perverts in the same boat if you enjoy BL stuff.) Not trying to be offensive...I'm just naturally bad at being nice.
    Wow, that's deep...just fucking play along. None of us are really thinking that hard here. Its just a random thread online.
    Yes you are, don't deny it. No man is gonna claim to be an innocent curious human being while watching lesbians making out. Or are you gonna claim you're different to us men who enjoy yuri(that basically means all straight men) now? Cause we sure as hell know we're perverts. It takes one to know one, and that's why I'm saying that you guys are in the same boat as us perverts.
    IKR
    Yea, the "Perverted Woman" is supposed to refer to straight women. Cause, you know, they're perverts, like us men, cause we enjoy yuri too. I don't fucking care! I made this thread as a joke! Just accept the fact that you're perverts! You know its a fetish!
    Well, this post CAN only be answered by those people who meet the criteria I guess. And, well, perverts don't think of perverted things all the time, and...well, doesn't matter. I understand what you mean, cause I like some generally perverted genres too in a totally non-perverted way. This post is somewhat of a joke to me so I just went with anything. Just, trust me, I'm not being that serious when I'm saying 'pervert'. I'm just saying you're a bit odd or something. (At least to me you'd be a bit odd; not speaking for the general population.)

    That's a good thing you view it positively!!!
    o((*^▽^*))o
    You mean gay females can't be perverts? Well you don't know us enough... There are some BL fans who are really humble and they definitely like BL for it's plot rather than porn. :/ "Pervert" isn't a sexuality. Gay or bi or straight anyone can be a perv if you mean it jokingly. And no. I am not a perv! Baka!!!

    Yea, well, the word pervert itself is a joke to me so don't take me too seriously when I say it. Sorry for not clarifying it earlier, but I just can't be bothered to on a post that was made completely on a whim.
