They are PROUD to say they have been reading BL since 10. No way they think that’s ok

I think some adults don't understand just how much the the landscape has changed when it comes to access. I discovered BL at 12 via SasuNaru, Fanfiction. net, Borders Book store and YouTube 100 part clips. Majority of the stories were Shounen- ai where the sexual scenes were limited or intentionally not included. I did eventually find yaoi smut but you really had to dig into the Fandom to get to it. Nowadays, the children are exposed immediately to the explicit materials, the toxic relationships, and the darker side of romances. They may get maybe one or two light fluff shounen-ai stories before an illegal site offers just pure, 24+ erotic lust filled smut with one simple click. I truly worry for these children. Call me a hypocrite but there needs to be a separation of content at least. Bring back the "Are you 18?" warning...man idk...Just something to limit the availability of the explicit material.

Thanks for your take on this controversy— I think that my problem with BSL is that he had pretty much made 5 or 6 videos which misconstrued what Lamy said by taking it as her saying that “minors shouldn’t be engaging with queer media.” Then he proceeds to talk about various other controversies irrelevant to her actual concern with his video talking about minors engaging with explicit material. I don’t support Lamy in any way, but his hive-mind fanbase isn’t seeing the point.

what I really want them to try to understand is we aren't against them, we are trying to WARN them. at that age, we don't have the faculties to understand what we are looking at in a healthy way like you said.

Exactly, we can’t stop minors from reading yaoi but it should not be romanticised

See I see this as a lack of fandom etiquette was I in these spaces young? yes, but my parents did what they were supposed to they parented me so I kept my mouth shut about all of this now parents don’t do that and these kids are no longer quiet about it

As a queer person who is now an adult, I have been reading bl and ya0i since like 13-14, did it have mental impact on me? Kinda yeah, but tbh back then the internet was so unfiltered that you could literally find random g0re on YouTube. I do agree with the take that pre teens and younger teens shouldn’t engage with mature content that especially involves topics that can be too heavy for them especially when it’s fetishized and romanticized in certain stories since then it has actual psychological impact on certain people because of sudden dopamine rush that these stories can give you, especially stories that have heavy smut in them or their whole existence as a story is build on this type of content and with that I do not only mean queer media but overall any stories and shows that involve this type of content, but should we judge and discriminate teens for reading bl stories and watch bl anime or overall consume this type of media? I don’t think so, yes we can warn them, I myself warned lot of younger people who asked me for recs and rather gave them shounen ai manhwa or manga to read so they could avoid content that is not for them but at the same time everyone is free to read whatever they want if they have the critical thinking for it and can depict story from reality, queer media helped me understand myself better and also accept myself as a queer person when I was a teen and now it’s just my hobby because I found comfort in this media because these stories are interesting, touch on real life issues with homophobia, they’re out of the usual male+female=normal agenda and also because there is nothing wrong with consuming queer media. The main problem are some adults and teens who fetishize and romanticize stories, for teens is them reading it and then pushing it towards young audience while trying to actively engage in adult media, it’s normal for teenagers to be curious but trying to push it onto younger audience is wrong and shouldn’t be normalized. With some adults it’s fetishizing this content making it seem hot and normal so then even when younger audience finds their video they become intrigued because adults said so, and I’m mainly talking about 1/2

And honestly…. Without any offense to any side…this is the kind of video that was NEEDED….cuz this felt less attacking and actually an educational conversation with a warning tone OUT OF worry … what pissed me a little about lamb was that the video was aggressive ( depending on the context I mean ) and she was like : BAD BAD BAD…without even explaining why…like , it’s bad cuz it’s harmful for a developing brain,right? But she was not concerned about the developing brain of the 18 y/o that she MIGHT probably send a hate train to? Calling him a grown adult???? It just felt very unauthentic and snakey . It’s so contradicting….. like a lot of people make that joke…we could have done a video like this without pointing fingers. Btw I fully agree with what u say , I really believe that people right now that are trying to romanticize reading stuff like that are literally just teenagers and kids that really do not have any experience on the world and do not know enough of what damages it could really do to your brain to consume this much hard-core stuff or generally anything sexual in big quantities….. I really love how u explained this with so much mindfulness and strictness- which is necessary; like, u knowwww the facts - while also giving grace to those stupid teenagers and kids, cuz bullying or being tough-like hellaaa aggressive - never works….

That Ranting Girl :
Are you a child psychologist by any chance? I was under the impression that the current science shows that consuming sexual material as a teenager ISN’T inherently harmful and potential harms can be largely mitigated by proper early sexual education, but the one thing I’ve noted from this ‘discourse’ is that a lot of people seem to be maybe referencing some research I can’t find

Lizzy :
For me: I think it’s more along the lines of when we were younger, we read that stuff. It would be hypocritical of us to say no no no no don’t do that even though you have access to my content that is 18+ but my page is not 18+.

I started reading Gundam wing fanfiction with very graphic smut in middle school. I wish I had been introduced later. It really messed with some of my wiring, permanently.

spikethezombie🇵🇷 :
i really deeply appreciate ur view. im 23 now but i was so incredibly young when i got into bl that i dont remember a time without it, harm from explicit material is one thing but from my experience it was completely overshadowed by the amount of debilitating shame. the feeling of being dirty or loss of innocence broke me in many ways. Hearing you speak about this felt healing in a way while acknowledging the impact it DID DO to our brains but i didnt feel SHAMED like i have with other creators.

I started reading bl back when I was 16, and although yes that is still very young, I'm grateful I didn't start when I was even younger (12, 13, 14 ect) Because with the stuff I was first introduced to... that would have messed me up. It turned out fine like you said ahaha, but I'm not sure that would have been the case if I was a younger/pre-teen.

Yash :
i’m not disagreeing with your take but i wanna hear ur opinion ab this cause it feels like it’s only a problem cause it’s queer. Nowadays majority of shows that are advertised to teenagers have mentions of intercourse and illegal activity. Like on my block, Euphoria, Outerbanks, The summer I turned pretty. Nobody says anything about these shows cause despite it being much worse considering the characters are also teenagers. Even if it’s not ideal, teenagers are always going to be interested in things like that because of hormones. This is honestly a problem nobody can fix the best u can do is minimize it. the genre helps a lot of people explore the human experience grapple complex emotions, and ideas as well as different perspectives. maybe it’s just what I read, but I think that there are plenty of stories that engaged the reader deeply and give space to help people think differently about the world. A lot of people end up chalking the genre up to just physical relationships, but the genre has always been a way for women and queer people to express their sexuality among other things.

Its soo true .. I, myself get introduce to BL and intimate scenes of it at the ripe age of 24 and my first BL was " Within my shadows " 🥲 .. it was my first time seeing graphic grape scenes, se*ual assult and over all abuse and I was horrified to say the least I never in my life experience this type of media its the first for me and I got so traumatized and still to this day I just can't read toxic stuff .. It horrifes me how it might effect a 14 or younger teenager brain, I hate how in BL they normalize grape and assult like its just every day thing and making people believe that abuse is " Romantic " and how people just forgive their abuser and live happily ever after

Thank you so much. This was truly so well eloquent and informative. I’ve been struggling to explain my opinion, but you just did in such a mature and put together manner

Necroxis9 :
Craziest part is they’re getting upset that we’re saying they shouldn’t be reading the raunchiest 19+ smut. Read all the SFW BL that you want. Read Sasaki and Miyano. Read Given. Read Douysekki. Just MAYBE if you’re literally 14 you shouldn’t be reading Jinx. What a controversial opinion. Goddamn we need to get these kids out of these spaces

*just as a note I am talking about young ppl guys, the youngest age ive heard kids brag about picking up yaoi is 8. If you're picking this stuff up as a late teen, it's certainly less serious than you at 8, 10, 12 🤦🏾♀️Most of you guys started before teens though, and im very aware of that.

and that's why a lot of children are groomed online. they think they have the right to be in adult spaces and talk to adults about porn. it is crazy.

Calysi Cadaver :
My only hope for the young teens reading explicit BL only interact with other teens. As much as I don’t want them reading it I know they’ll do it anyway and they will find ways to get to it. I speak from experience when I say that consuming this content way too young can make you more susceptible to grooming. And shame on those adults taking advantage of those kids. It’s just twice as concerning seeing someone underage not only read explicit content but think they’re mature enough to be around ppl way older than them.

Rin :
I very much agree with you, but I would like to say that I don’t think BL is usually the first s*xual media or experience that most minors consume. I feel like we also have to understand that a lot of people, myself included, experienced s*xual activity or consumed s*xual media at a young age which makes a lot of people hypersexual and so they find BL later on because of that. I know what I was younger BL was not something I found until way later after looking at other stuff. I feel like it’s the same with BSL because he did explain some of his past. No, BL is not okay for minors to consume, but we also have to look at how other experiences could have caused them to look for that type of media. I hope this makes sense, it’s currently 4am and I haven’t slept yet😭

✡️ThatJudeanFudanshi✡️ :
i started reading BL at 12, back in 2008. at the time i was after a rough time of my life, i (intersex,male) was terrified of the idea of sex after experiencing Cocsa from someone who was a close friend. sure, bl helped me process my trauma at the time and accept myself and my sexuality. but i dont think it was an excuse, or healthy for that matter. my mind was already broken at the time.i dont think liking explicit BL as a minor is something to be proud of(also, i had a time when i processed my trauma that i gravitated toward healthy shounen-ai and havent touched the explicit material until i became an adult, maybe it was due to my mum catching me and being there to help me and teach me after understanding wjat i went through or why i gravitated to this stories(back in the day the reason i started was gravitation, it was Yuki's story and the whole story of shuuichi too. like it was the first time i saw being male victim is talked about, even if it wasnt age apropriate). but i think that nowdays with therapy being readily available and lgbt friendly, and with age appropriate stories being more readily available, it's really for the better to wait to read those stories when your brain is developed enough, i am now almost 30, and it's something that if i could go back and change i would. the stories arent going anywhere, waiting till your brain is developed enough to comprehend it won't kill yall.there are plenty nowdays of age appropriate material(and now its also properly classified), and on official sources some popular explicit stories (15-16+ instead of 18+/21+)have age apropriate version with all the smut cut out.
