honestly people who hate on them aren't even proper old readers as well like they discovered stuff through tiktok as well and having bj Alex as your first doesn't make you superior 😭, although I would say the lack of manga recommendations compared to the same ten manhwas which everyone and their cousin already knows in tiktok is sad,also it's frustrating how tiktok ruined the term "fujoshi" and "bl/yaoi" bl ≠ boy love,it can also indicate stories with gay characters in some cases it isn't romanticised same with yaoi,it just means intercourse between two men, if it doesn't have a Romance tag and just bl doesn't mean it's romantic, especially if it has the psychological horror element(the whole ks incident abt the"bl" tag),also I hate how we all are separating content into red/green flags like hello,just say toxic or healthy relationships,cause like if one of the character is murderer but he is respectful to his partner it's still a toxic relationship(no matter how healthy it appears, this is why you really can't apply real life morals into fiction, if you are a mature adult who can handle dark stuff but also acknowledges it, I find nothing wrong with it, or if you feel uncomfortable it's alright just ignore it, nobody is forcing you to read it, yes it's horrible when people recommend toxic stuff to unaware people,but if you are aware of it and still chose to read it well that's your own fault) there's a lot of healthy relationships, I prefer those a lot more( I wish all those people who chose to spend time hating on other stories actually discover and read good ones, after all you can't judge a genre by reading just the popular ones 90% of popular stuff in most genres are just bad and that's common knowledge)
