>FUJOSHI ("rotten girl"): a self-mockingly pejorative Japanese term for female fans of manga and novels that feature romantic relationships between men.



Discuss yaoi and BL here, as well as series aimed at fujoshi (and fudanshi) like Hetalia, sports anime, and male idol anime. Discussion of BL games here is totally OK but please do not cannibalize the otome game general.

Yamane is killing me because I love both Finder and Crimson Spell but she's so goddamn slow at making them and always leaves the chapter on a cliffhanger.

Seriously though I need something else to quench my thirst for animu gay sex. Are there any BL mangakas that draw hot smutty sex with fun characters other than her? Other BL mangakas focus 90% on the romance and the sex scenes are half censored and usually very short.

I've been reading slash since I was a preteen. When you're that young, it seriously affects the way you learn about and understand sex/relationships - I think BL comics were the reason I, as a socially inept wallflower 14 year old, chased after guys who were the complete opposite of me. Because I had this idea that opposites always attract, courtesy of BL and slash fiction. (pic related, one of my way old school OTPs)

Under Grand Hotel is an actual really good yaoi manga set in prison and there are multiple rape scenes. And not the typical "oh no I don't want this but my body says yes!" type of thing. But aside from that the plot is really compelling as well.

Plus you have a darker skinned character that isn't 'ambiguous tan' which is basically unheard of in BL.

I'm more of a BL fan than yaoi. I don't mind a lil fuggin but anything too graphic turns me off.

I like BL too. Cute and fluffy is always nice. I havent read Negative-kun and Positive-kun but upon looking it up, I have read pic related by same author. Ikemen-kun To Saenai-kun. It was cute, and the art is nice. I'll add it to my list.

When I was looking I got reminded of Kumota Haruko because a pic showed up on google image search. I think she only made a few stories but they were really good.

Nobara by Kumota Haruka in case you were wondering. It's a cute BL with older characters than a typical high school setting.

She also did Shinjuku Lucky Hole which was nice but a bit more sexual, has a nice 3p scene in I think the third installment. It's more toward BL so not very graphic at all if I recall correctly.

Looks like there are a few of her works that have been translated since I last checked so I'm going to read.

I've been playing Lamento and listening to/reading the drama CD translations, I like that Rhapsody to the Past has more background about the devils but I thought Razel's past was kind of disappointing compared to the others. Verg and Froud's were really interesting though.

I think what I liked a lot about Lamento is that for an adventure type VN it didn't have a lot of characters. It felt like there was a really personal story between the whole cast.

Fuck this game got me into BL so hard when I was an entry-level fujo. And what a way to begin. I think this game had some messed up stuff (it doesn't bother me at all) but the story was honestly really strong and it had interesting characters. Jose was my main route.

Fuuucking Maiden Rose. I haven't thought about that shit in ages, man. I came across it accidentally while trying to look up episodes of Rozen Maiden. Klaus(?)' chin will forever haunt the far reaches of my mind.

Recently, I've been reading 19 Days. The art's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but that shit tugs at my heart like nothing else does. It's pretty comfy.
Another manga I've been keeping up with is Innocent, which isn't BL outright, but there's some occasional male-on-male wank that I'm sure some of you would like. I fucking love Shinichi Sakamoto's stuff. His art is so lavish and beautiful. Every page is goddamn stunning.

That being said the guys and story aren't that great, which is kind of disappointing when everything else in the game is pretty decent.

Just finished reading this by Ogawa Chise. Pretty good as far as smut goes.

The high school has an arbitrary caste system put in place by a game organized by the students. The game decides everyone's social "rank" in the school. The longtime "King" is cast down to the lowest rank in the next game.

There are a few stories involved, I like the second one best (pic related). There are some continuity errors from first to second story but you can just overlook them.

There were a few scenes that I would have liked to see and would have made sense in the context (and almost happened…) but weren't there. Lots of dubcon.

Ogawa Chise writes a lot of good smut, though some of it is incest. I'm not usually into that but I've been reading it anyway because I like everything else.

It's a long read- I'm pretty sure there's like 8 novels by now, but fuck is it worth it.

yeah their routes….so i honestly teared up a bit. the end of maki's route….it hit me hard…..

ryu's route hit me too. i didn't like him as much as the others (i generally dislike meganes) but by the end of it i felt.

i keep trying to get people to play it but NO ONE WILL because they don't like the character designs. kouichi was a bit too daddy for me but otherwise i don't see what the big deal is. the plot was actually good (for a bl game) and like….it's all around a good game. damn.

if nothing else people should play it because it's the first localized bl game in ages and we need more.

but that's not the one most people suggest. i think most people suggest hiroyuki as the first route and i have to agree. if you're not sure where to start i would just start with him, he's super cute and screams a lot and you get a good idea of how everyone else is.

i know they had at one point announced an ova (i think before the game even dropped) but it didn't make the cut i guess. maybe because the dmmd anime sucked so much. for some reason i have the idea that it was super popular because it got an official localization, but maybe it wasn't. i don't know.

Anyone else a fan of HQ!!?

I'm worried it's becoming too flavour of the month and it'll disappear quickly, but it's genuinely become my favourite sports anime. For once I don't really have an OTP, and I enjoy seeing the different ships come out of doujins/fic/fanart. It's really interesting to see who people ship different characters.

Plus it's so cute and pure, and there's none of that stupid irrational hatred/rivalry that plagues other sports animes. It's a realistic setting where characters have healthy rivalries but also friendships with people from other teams. I especially love Bokuto and Kuroo's dynamic, as well as Hinata's ability to befriend practically everyone.

No. 20952

>already an established relationship and you choose kinks instead?

Sort of. It's more of a psychological horror type thing. They're best friends who are being forced to participate in an "experiment". One of them has to perform acts of physical violence on other and on the flip side the other has to perform sexual acts on their friend. It sounds like they both agree to opt for the sexual tasks in the (probably misguided) interest of mitigating harm, but I imagine it will backfire spectacularly in the form of psychological trauma they hadn't considered.

You can turn the "gore" display off. It's still described in the text, but it won't show the CGs for those sections if you have that option set.

No. 20953

Past tense is pretty hard to get wrong in a translation, but it was narration anyway which is usually past tense.

But it was that in combination with the fact that he looked sad about his future and he's dropping everything to go mentor someone who could replace him, plus some minor things (the dog named after him dying). It's probably just retirement, but death would have a lot of dramatic effect so people ran with it.

Nah, actually tense is pretty hilariously inconsistent in Japanese compared to the way it's treated in English. You can switch back and forth between past/non-past in narration without really suggesting any temporal shift about the actions being described (often tense is used more to suggest the immediacy to the speaker or situation than chronology).

Classic cheesy sports anime. Animation is weirdly inconsistent, it looks like 5 different studios are animating it. It's getting better with each episode but I'm still put off by the animation during the skating (hopefully with a bigger budget it will look better)

Characters are cute, they're sticking with the "everyone gets along" sports anime route which I've always been a big fan of instead of the irrational hatred/rivalry route.

Like, this is the reason why studios can go out of their way with releasing garbage quality - because they know people are still going to eat it up. Same reason why Utapri keeps getting crappy seasons since the studio knows its fans are going to spend thousands of yen on the BDs to get event tickets.

It's extremely fun. It's fast paced and funny with a lot of attention to detail with the sport, a good OST, and relatively mature characterization/interaction since the MCs are adults. The MC develops thoroughly, and there's a real gay romantic subplot with lots of cute/sexy moments.

I don't think you understand what other anon was saying with pandering. The series is obviously targeted at the same type of women into other sports anime and the fujos that buy tons of show merchandise.

It's funny that almost showing two guys kissing is enough to make girls drop hundreds of dollars on keychains, magazines and underwear.

No. 20994

Yeah but it's not pandering in the whole "Oh will they ever kiss? Here's 20 episodes of long hugs and lingering looks and innuendo but THEY'RE NOT GAY LELELELLELE"

Like for once it's there. It's canon. Yeah fujos are going crazy and spending tons of money but it'll hopefully show companies and stuff that actual yaoi/gay shit can succeed and we will get less queerbaiting and actual queer shit.

They know queerbaiting/Yaoi will work with the recent boom in woman aimed shows and realising hey, women have money too.

Same, hoping for a season 2, they are teasing it and I'd be up for it. A lot of people have started saying "oh it's a phase", which yeah…anime is like flavour of the month. Don't get on a high horse and act like your too good for it to look cool.(tfw you have an irl friend who is like this)

What are some good websites to discuss fujo stuffs? Tumblr is shit, twitter doesn't work for that kind of things and I'm a bit bored of /a/ these days. This thread is good but a bit slow. I'm fine with anything as long as I don't have to talk about pairings to 14 years old brats or SJW retards tbh. It sucks to be a lonely fujo.

Well, tumblr seems way worse but without the advantages lj had. But like I said, I didn't use it all that much compared to many of you guys so I'm sure I missed most of the drama.

Oh god same, at my age it's not as "normal" still being a fujo so it's more difficult to sperg to irl people about it (or online for that matter). I miss being like 10 and exchanging shitty DJs with my friends like it was normal and discussing them on the web. Now i can't have a single discussion that is not garbage.

Only problem is the yoi/tumblr fanbase that won't stop fucking posting about how "edgy" they are for reading it, or how the main relationship is "toxic" and "abusive" (no shit?).

Yeah, that's what annoys me about it too. If the guys suddenly started beating the shit out of each other or something it'd be interesting (or of it delved into their time in he military, or brought back the cops, or did anything else than what it is right now really) but it turned into the protagonist acting like a beaten wife even though he started out as a weirdo stalker. It had potential and melted into a cliche edgy shoujo story with gay dudes.

You guys are pretty much pedos. I understand if you're angry at this but I've played a few eroges and had to have sex with underage boys because I like Yaoi and have some type of autism.

It would have been interesting if the protagonist was as fucked-up mentally as the beginning hyped him to be. I'd be down for two sick fucks trying to outsmart and outdo each other and having weird homolust over it, instead of the "psychopath edgelord vs stockholm syndrome uke" torture porn it turned out to be.

Also the art looks like Junji Ito tried to make a BL doujin of that guy from Attack on Titan and the YOI guy with the uncontrollable ejaculation problem.

not quite what this thread is about bc it's a non-anime graphic novel but The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal is hands-down one of the best bits of gay fiction I've ever read. Started reading for the realistic-yet-slow-burn-heat sex scenes, ended up strung on the actually rather touching and wrenching at points story.

absolutely not the typical yaoi experience, don't expect any pretty boys (but if you're into muscular bottoms, boy is this gonna be your jam), but that ain't a bad thing.

even better: it's finished (for a while now, don't know why i just thought of it after so long) and all free to read online

Are straight fujos rare?

You don't know a lot of fujos do you?

The "fujos are lesbians" meme is so old and based on a tired stereotype that actually finding a fujo girlfriend as a lesbian fujo is terribly hard. In the olden days these "lesbian fujos" were straight girls who were just afraid of contact with men so they turned to their female friends to form a proto-lesbian relationship. Nowadays the "lesbian fujos" are transtrenders trying to present as gay men and preaching about how regular cisgirls liking BL is ~fetishizing homosexuality~ (which they're certainly not doing). So all in all, most fujos are straight or bisexual.

>>185884

Well, first of all the men in BL act more like women than actual real-life men since most of it is written by women, so the female audience can identify with the characters to a certain degree. They're usually romance stories first, which men don't find appealing. If you compare it to yuri, yuri is often quite masculine and the girls don't act like girls do because contrary to BL it's most of the time written by men for a male audience. It's more about character dynamics and stories than the actual gender of the characters.

Yeah, Niles/MC (regardless of gender for me but still) is a great pairing, they're really cute. I like when characters act tough or like they're perverts or things like that but at some point they start being really nice and cute and even romantic, and I have a soft spot for characters who have white hair and dark skin so I love Niles in general. I'm still salty they changed his love confession to a random joke in English.

Been playing Room no 9 recently, i was so excited for it, and honestly i'm tiny bit disappointed with it.
The story is kind of mediocre. I am currently missing only one ending block, which i hope explains a little more of the story or gives more depth to the characters other than "we are friends, he is the super super chill bottom bitch and i'm the hyper one". I know bl games do not tend to have the best stories, but unless you treat this one as pure smut you'll probably be disappointed most of the time except for a few endings.

So far, the choices to make seem rather limited. Kinda thought you would decide every day wether to do torture or sex since the game seemed to be about that, but you make a choice between those two one single time since the rest of the time the boys choose it themselves (and i'ts always sex, hooray). Only made 5-6 choices in my 10 hours playing. (which do change the endings dramatically, to be fair.)
The sex cg's are absolutely fantastic, the art is nice(although there were definitely some weird proportions or perspectives, but i don't mind it as much) and the voice acting is superb, the scat cg with grotesque stuff turned on is fucking gross though, didn't expect it to be as graphic, which surprised me. So if you pick it up and are grossed by that stuff, be warned that you cannot skip this part of the story, as it is obligatory, although you can turn grotesque off and it's not bad at all
Overall, it's okay, the boys are cute and the sex is great and some endings are pretty good, but i'm still kinda dissapointed eventhough i like it quite a lot, maybe i was expecting too much out of it.

Pretty sure there is a lot of fundashi out on the wild. Since this is a more female oriented board you probably won't find as many here. But for example in 4chan's /y/ threads there is a lot of male posters, in reddit's /r/yaoi (i think it's called) too.

>>21100
The same that it is for a woman, i guess? I don't really see the difference.
Most people enjoy cute/deep stories, good characters, pretty art and cheesy love stuff, which yaoi/bl has tons of. Yaoi also tends to have more story (be it good or bad) as opposed to hentai/yuri, which tends to be mostly pure smut and fanservice, which could attract all kinds of people and sexes.
I personally find it absolutely normal when straight (or otherwise) men enjoy bl/yaoi.

There seem to be quite a few anons who're still into Yaoi (judging by the Porn Criticism thread), so I hope it's okay to necro this thread.

I absolutely love when the roles are "reversed", meaning a strong, manly Uke and a feminine, long-haired Seme.
I highly recommend all of Abe Akane's works. Pic related is "Moon and Sun", it's extremely good and beautifully drawn (however, the Seme is crossdressing, so if that's not your thing…).
Other stuff of hers that I really like (and read multiple times) are "Ubawareru Koto Marugoto Zenbu" and "Suki Toiunoni Nazekashira" (both stories are linked together). No older Seme raping a childlike Uke who ends up enjoying it, just two handsome adults.
Naono Bohra is quite good as well.

No. 21130

>>21129
DMMD I'll give you, but I wouldn't call NTY "extremely popular". It hardly has anything resembling a visible fanbase.

Anyway I asked this for a few reasons. One because I was reading a 5ch thread where Jap fujos are worried about the state of BL games, calling it an endangered genre and noting how niche it is. Companies go bankrupt left and right and sales are low. If even Japs think it's dead, it's dead.

Two, on the Western side of things, I noticed how otome fans are extremely visible and organized, and constantly push for a wide variety of games to get localized and make sure companies see them. Contrast with BL where fujos seem largely disinterested in BL games beyond DMMd.

Considering how many fujos are out there you'd think BLVNs would be more thriving. I can only wonder if there's a reason why they're largely overlooked.

No. 21131

>>21128
Just theorizing so don't take me too seriously but I wonder if it's because of the relative time and effort required to download them and get them to work vs anime/manga. It's not super difficult or anything but finding a legit download source and messing with the settings can still be a turn off for a computer noob, whereas streaming media or reading online is much more comfortable and simple. And unlike otome, there just isn't enough (good) content being produced for anyone to give a fuck. The reason western fans go on about DMMD (and other N+C titles) and NTY is cause they're flagships, and there isn't that much else worth reading with a promise of any kind of translation.

For me personally, I'm growing out of my fujo phase and while I still like some content, I'm probably not serious enough about it anymore to bother with a full length VN. I think many western fujos are leaving for fanfiction (even of non-Asian media) or regular vidya with romance plots like Dragon Age or ME.

They are. The only problem is that only a few selected ones get translated, I think there are only two or three officially translated VNs and just a few with a fan translation patch available. Only a small amount of people speak Japanese fluently enough to be able to go through a novel so the issue isn't much about how fujos don't like VNs, it's just about the availability of them being scarce.

It's undeniable that the vast majority of it is and, at the very least, written by males.

>also some of us like stuff creepy men write. i hate this idea that only men like super sexual stuff. stuff written for men is just stuff that's hot in a specific sexual way. many women are like that honestly.

Yeah, that's what I meant when I said "unless she sees women the same way those creeps do." Those women are just as gross as the men are and tbh it screams internalized misogyny/regular misogyny. In some ways, I think lesbian fetishes are even uglier on females.

No. 21138

But you see, even otome fans show a large amount of interest in untranslated otome games, do their research, and enthusiastically push for titles to get translated. And it works. I don't see that same enthusiasm from fujos. Like, if DMMD is the most revered game then it's not like their standards are particularly high, there's a lot of games on the same level or higher they could be pushing for.

> I'm a lesbian and I still don't understand why any (real) girl would prefer it over BL unless she sees women the same way those creeps do.
This. Nobody in their right mind would ever claim that yuri is meant for lesbian girls. I have yet to see a yuri comic with realistic female characters that doesn't classify as josei and a general "romance" manga instead of just "yuri".

>>21136
>just like all yaoi isn't for girls
Just because some gay men (fudanshi) read BL comics doesn't mean they're directed towards men. The stuff meant for them isn't usually classified as "yaoi", it's more of the trashy bara stuff with lots of dirty sex that's made for guys.

>>21138
Fujos know their game won't be translated no matter how much they push it, the market is MUCH smaller than for otome games and the west is scared of gays anyway. And I don't know where you hang around to say that the BL audience doesn't express interest in untranslated games, I see a lot of people lamenting over how a.) they're not available to the west even in Japanese b.) they don't exist at all. The main woe is that even in Japan the BL games are pretty niche and not a lot of them get even made compared to Otomes which pop up like mushrooms. For every BL game there are like 20 Otome games so of course their availability (and thus demand) is a lot higher. And to be frank a lot of fujos substitute otome games for BL due to the reasons mentioned so the genre has double the fans.

On a related note I'm hoping that the option for digital releases will bring translating BL back to life again.

At least some Harada's titles were translated as digital releases recently I think.

they do not take more effort to translate in the slightest, the issue with VNs is that they take more effort to add the translations. with manga scans you just cut the original text and add the english and then add a subtitle under stuff that's not bubbled (like sounds) anime is even easier, you just need to at the bare minimum write text over the frames but with vns, a lot of them have to be completely recoded, the text isn't easy to find and replace, and even if it is adding romanized letters can lead to tons of issues.

I've always been more of an 'opportunistic' fujo instead of a dedicated fan but lately I've been consuming more BL media because I found out my coworker is a fujoshi. She's a better fujoshi than I am so I've been watching/reading stuff on her recommendation. Kind of makes me wistful about not being more of a babby fujo as a teen I could have had so much fun. We suspect a third coworker may also be a fujoshi too but we're not sure yet, we don't work anywhere associated with nerds or weebs we're pretty much office ladies lol. Personally I prefer BL to straight up Yaoi, I guess I'm a prude.

Anyway it isn't technically in the BL genre but I finished up Seraph of the End recently and the fujo bait is ridiculous. MikaYuu will never be canon which sucks, they have great scenes and I want them to be happy. The first season was so fucking rough but I'm glad I persevered, I'm getting by on fanfiction and reading the manga.

Why the fuck should a woman explain her fujo tendencies? What woman doesn't like looking at good-looking men? Why do men find it so outlandish and weird if a woman likes BL?

No. 21181

Heard the explanation too though it's pathetic. The smartest reason for liking yaoi was one I read in some academic work about japanese fujos. Apparently yaoi lets female readers enjoy the romance and porn while forgeting about societal pressures and expectations toward women (no gender roles, no pregnancy, partners of equal social standing - though the last one is often subverted in yaoi, so make of that what you will).

He would but he would mistake that for "oh so you want a 3 some or these characters are your ideals and I'm not like that" he doesn't get fantasy and husbando/waifus. I don't want him to get the wrong idea and think that I prefer Yaoi/BL characters over him

I assume she means wanting to escape pressure on the woman's role in a relationship involves feeling 'competitive' with characters who do fulfill that role. Which makes sense in a way, but it's pretty uncharitable to frame it as being competitive (aka petty and jealous and catty) rather than just wanting to read romance from a neutral position, not one which forces you to self insert and compare yourself to media that can be really unfair on women.

No. 21189

>>21188
Thank you for the explanatipn. To me allowing yourself to indulge in a fantasy about romance without the burdens of being a woman (not only those existing in fiction, but also in real life) is really different than feeling competitive toward female characters, which to me brings the idea of the Die For Our Ship crazy fangirls that hate any female character that has any relationship with half of potential gay couple (or hating female characters due low self-esteem).

I am not a fujoshi though, so yeah. Just reporting on an interesting idea that I read.

I suppose for many yaoi readers the reason is just 'that's sexy, duh' and there is nothing wrong with that.

No. 21190

You are making it more aggressive than I intended. I just mean it's more enjoyable to read romances without feeling inadequate all the time, like, constantly being reminded that I'm not that smol and am too jaded to act cute and innocent all the time. I think it's much healthier to avoid it and go into yaoi than what some people do, become weeb.

I called it feeling competitive because this is a popular and imo accurate formulation of the sentiment. But yes it's less charitable than the academic one. Maybe I should start telling people the other one instead.

No. 21191

>>21190
>being a fujoshi =/= being a weeb
> ???
but fujoshis are a type of weebs, anon…

You don't have to lie, your reasons are yours alone and you don't have to try to measure yourself to anyone else. I just disagree that those two explanations are similar. One is more about feeling bad about yourself, the other about feeling bad about society.

If it helps, the academic idea was tied into Japan's gender politics and a specific point in time (the crration of bl/yaoi and it's growing popularity), so I am not sure if it applies to many fangirls anywhere. I just found it an interesting explanation. It does sound very high and noble for being a theory about female-read erotica.

No. 21192

I don't feel competitive with cutesy innocent girls personally, I just find it pathetic and I can't relate or enjoy it. It's like, I don't want to be that way but I don't want to be reminded that it's considered desirable either.

Anyway I'm sure your intentions weren't bad or mean spirited, I didn't mean assume you meant the worst when you said competitive. But some people love putting fujos down as pathetic jelly losers, and women in general as catty and hating each other. Nobody really thinks that about guys who like lesbian porn, it's just a normal thing for men and doesn't get questioned.

No. 21193

>>21192
the fetishizing of gay men and lesbian women is gross and weird, imo. it's waaaaaaaaaaaay more gross for men to fetishize lesbians, though. it's not questioned because men push it in media and we're all expected to accept it, but it's gross.

No. 21194

>>21193
Men are gross about lesbians but mostly because they put them down for being butch, think they can be turned straight by dick etc. And porn is ethically wrong so of course men who watch lesbian porn are trash. But honestly, as long as they don't direct their attraction at actual gay couples there's nothing wrong with guys liking yuri or fictional/fantasy lesbian couples. Likewise for fujos, it's very rare for them to be so enamoured with same sex couples that they sexualize or romanticize gay dudes unless the guys are idealized, fictional characters that are extremely attractive and have great romantic chemistry. Which are things with broad, general appeal so calling it fetishizing is… overdramatic.

No. 21195

Enjoying japanese media doesn't by itself make you a weeb. I meant how some people try to imitate anime girls, Venus Angelic etc.

I think you described it well in that post actually. Both explanations identified the feel-bad that's yaoi avoids but the blame is placed differently.

No. 21196

idk if i speak for everyone, but i personally like alot of the power dynamic in yaoi, specifically the fact that there's usually a guy who takes a submissive role. if i read fem-domme stuff i tend to self insert, but if i read yaoi i just sit back and enjoy the ride. i feel like some of my fujoshit friends feel similarly.

No. 21197

I often explain this to people as the reason why I like BL and they usually understand. If they don't, they're more usually retarded dudebros who think women liking porn is a dream come true but only if they like the stuff made for men.

I don't remember which thread it was but someone said that shitty men are easy to spot by how badly they treat fujos because it goes on to show that they hate it when women have sexual autonomy. The whole term "fujoshi" comes from people calling girls rotten because their virginal value is spoiled if they like porn all on their own.

The "there's no competition in yaoi for women" reason is true to an extent, but it 's not the whole story and I hate how people are pushing that narrative. BL lets women enjoy their sexuality and have something catered to female gaze without feeling like they're being pressured by exhibiting the ideal female role. Not a lot of media has that.

Are you illiterate or did you not read my post at all? I literally said
>Het sex is something I can do IRL and I can get off to it
but why the fuck would I bother if I'm reading fic or manga? I can have straight sex IRL, and mainstream media provides a non stop stream of het romance so I'm never, ever deprived of it. If it's a fantasy and all in my imagination, I prefer a story involving two people I'm attracted to, not one person plus a shitty half assed character designed to alleviate loneliness via self insertion.

NTAYRT but I don't like the whole "self insert thing", it makes me feel uncomfortable. I can't play otome games with a female MC for that reason, I just don't like the thought because I can't self insert myself into the MC, I just see a shitty character, not myself. That's why I like BL, I don't HAVE to self-insert, instead I have two attractive characters getting it on. I don't get why this is so hard to realize for so many people.

No. 21202

That's also why I like it. I don't like porn involving women for similar reasons, it's easier to enjoy things without context of how women are generally portrayed in romance/erotica.

No. 21203

>>21198
nta but most heterosexual porn is made for men, and especially in hentai, a lot of the times the man is just a ghost dick or may as well be. and most of the time the woman has a very specific role, like childhood friend or nextdoor neighbor or mom's drunk friend on the couch. and usually the girl has more lines or specific ones that relate to her personality, again, for the guy to self insert. it's much easier for guys to self insert as joe every-dick.

No. 21204

>>21194
>Which are things with broad, general appeal so calling it fetishizing is… overdramatic.
Definitely. In most of BL the gay characters actually have a defined personality, feelings, goals, character history etc. Unless it's a smut doujin it's 99% of the time more about two characters developing their relationship and going through life together in varying situations and settings with occasional sex scenes. It's far from fetishization and objectification because they're actually being described and presented as human beings. In most lesbian stuff aimed for men it's only about the smut and has two cute/sexy girls with no describable personality fondling each other with minimal story. THAT'S fetishizing. They're being treated as objects only meant for sexual gaze.

No. 21205

>>21204
People calling it fetishizing really bother me tbh. Firstly because it's so arbitrary… when does liking something sexual become a fetish, and when does a fetish becoming 'fetishizing', and when does fetishizing become harmful/unethical? Is it still fetishizing when they exclusively enjoy G rated, non porn BL?

And like you said, the reality is that fujos enjoy humanized and developed characters. I find this particularly true for western fujos in regards to fanfic (may also be true in Japanese fic but I can't read it) - many girls literally want to read hundreds of thousands of words of slow build relationship development before getting to the sex. They gravitate towards fanfiction rather than original stories because they want to know and like the characters. They are far from objectified and a lot of the time show a lot of respect and affection for the characters involved. Yeah, there is some ~problematic~ stuff, like top/bottom stereotypes and 'loving rape', but chances are that stuff is written by young, sexually inexperienced women. They are projecting their understanding of straight sex on gay sex because that's literally all they know, and it's a result of misogyny rather than homophobia. And people are really growing out of that shit these days.

No. 21206

i know that’s not what you were getting at but this just reminded me of how fucking much i hate the ‘waaah top/bottom is stoopid, it’s not straight sex!!’ idea that a lot of woke transtrenders who like to shit on fujos love to push so hard.

a lot of women who are into yaoi are straight so them applying heteronormative dynamics onto the characters isn’t strange at all. having certain preferences as to what character holds what ~position~ in bed isn’t dumb or problematic. it’s literally a just sexual preference, it just happens to be that it applies to fictional scenarios and not irl.

it’s a fantasy.

it’s not real.

no sane person is claiming that’s how every single gay relationship since the beginning of time is structured.

i wish people would stop trying to dictate what women can and can’t like. there’s an entire industry revolving around what men like in terms of sexual entertainment and it’s completely accepted and celebrated. allow women to enjoy their choice of sexual entertainment and preferences in peace.

Very much agreed. Frankly I don't even care if the "loving rape" trope or dubcon in BL is ~le problematic~ because in the end it will never, ever be as damaging as misogynistic 3D porn with real life actors. It will never, EVER threaten the lives of gay people. The only people being so butthurt by the power play tropes in BL either are the self-hating ex-fujos who have never read BL besides the mid 00's edgy rape fantasy series or the insecure MLM fakebois who don't pass and developed a complex about it, then started lashing out at fujos.

My problem with loving rape isn't how it will affect the poor victimized gay men (because it wont), more whatever has made that female writer romanticize rape in the first place and how it may influence young readers. It's a symptom of brainwashing that came from misogynistic straight porn, so BL isn't to blame either way. And like you mentioned, it's a relic from edgy decade plus old series.

No. 21214

my problem with it is that it's fucking boring, and usually just an excuse to essentially give the character stockholm syndrome instead of writing any compelling interactions between the two characters. usually the character who gets raped wants nothing to do with the rapist and then immediately changes his mind after the rape. that's not how fucking anything works.

Thank you, anon. I am so sick of hearing people get on their soap box about how fictional relationships "should" be healthy and involve two mutually respectful people who talk out their issues in a constructive way whenever they come up.

Sure, that's good in real life. In fiction it's boring as fuck.

Hey can any of you reccomand me something nice to read ? I used to be a hardcore fujo as a young teen, havent been into it for the past 5/6 years but I find myself being interested in it again. My first OTP was MattxMello from Death Note (I was 12 ok), then I mostly read mangas by Setona Mizushiro. I remember a one shot manga I loved that was telling the story of two dudes living together after one dude's sister died and it was referencing Schonberg's Transfigured Night a lot.

I'm a lesbian who just reads a lot of yaoi/slash for no reason at all it seems.
It helped me come to terms with my own homosexuality, but it would have bee more logical to jump on wlw fiction.
But I don't phantasise when I read and I don't touch myself, I'm not even aroused usually, I'm just addicted to slash fiction and it's very stupid thing to be addicted to in my case since I don't get anything out of it outside from a cookie-cutter descriptions of sex between men. Who IRL I find repulsive.
My girlfriend is the same, so we can at least yell about our ships to each other.

My favourite mangaka is Nakamura Asumiko. Her stories are really fucked up and her art is one of the prettiest I've ever seen.
My ultimate favourite of hers is Double Mints. It even remimnded me of my relationship with my girlfriend in some subtle way (there's a really unusual subplot about soulmates). I made her watch the movie and she hated it and described it as "the most abusive fucked-up relationship she had to witness" and was offended I compared us to them lmao.

I need to vent about this and because the vent thread would just result into spergy anons screeching at me about degenerate fujos I'm doing it in our safe space: Browsing social media and the anti-fujo discourse drives me fucking nuts. The archetypal people who do it:
>The MLM fakeboi: he/him pronouns, ♂, rainbow flag, Voltron, BNHA. The 19-year old girl who trooned out and now wants to throw every other female under the bus. Acts like only their love for fujo stuff is valid because they're ~a true gay guy~ who's absolutely not fetishizing homosexuality at all unlike all those evil straight girl fujo strawmen!! Usually dating another fakeboi and calling themselves a "gay male cople".
>The "Not like other girls": Dresses in tacky bodyline shit and $3 Aliexpress cat thigh highs, thinks they're the only girl in the world who likes pedobait yuri porn and solely exists to please men whatever it takes, including hating on fujos. Because yuck that's girl stuff!!! And I'm not like those other vapid girls!!
>The suppressed trauma: Had a horrible experience as a 15-year old fujo with their sociopath friend(s) as a teen, now is trying their hardest to detach themselves from their fujo past and is deadly afraid of lesbians even though that one crazy girl who sexually harassed her is now married to a man and got bored of fujo stuff at least 8 years ago. Associates everything related to BL with horny teenaged AoE fics with noncon&angst tags.
>The outsider: All knowledge of fujos is based on parodies and stereotypes from 2006, uses outdated or ignorant terminology (often calls BL "yaoi" and fujos "yaoi fangirls"), unironically thinks Sasuke/Naruto is considered the hottest couple of 2019 and that the otome genre is the same thing as BL. Believes all BL is about raunchy rape porn between a humorously massive "seme" and an "uke" that looks like a little girl.
>The scrote: The guy who simply hates everything that caters to girls and especially if it shows male characters in a vulnerable position. Often a variation of "the Outsider". Is the type of person to throw an autistic brodude fit over seeing two men kiss. Ironically still might like traps.

Every single person I see complaining about fujos falls under one of these categories. The BL community has grown a lot from what it used to be in the beginning and while porn is still a part of the genre, the characters and plots have developed heaps and there's a much bigger selection to every taste. Yet fujos continue to be shitted on the most. Pisses me the fuck off.

Way too many of these retards on lolcow.

But even then, the vitriol seme/uke archetypes attract is fucking excessive. Is it such a crime if women, who have been taught since a young age that being slim, pretty and submissive is necessary if you want to get fucked, can't completely disassociate their taste from that? It's extremely mild internalized misogyny at worst and nobody is really hurt by it. Gay men don't need straight women's approval so I really fucking doubt any of them give a shit about girls wanting hairless bottoms, and straight women get to project the beauty standards they're usually expected to adhere to on men instead of themselves and other women for once. There's no moral highground in wanting to see a big muscley bottom, but not-like-the-other-fujos love to push the 'ewwww feminine boys, only bara is good' bullshit. I really think, subconsciously, they just want to distance themselves from stuff teenage girls like because everyone hates teenage girls. And appease men, since men really hate women not preferring traditional masculinity.

Absolutely true. I'm a fan of polar opposites and size differences because that just makes following the couple's development and interaction interesting, a lot of people have the same taste. But as you said the hatred the whole seme/uke setting gets is amplified to ridiculous levels.

>There's no moral highground in wanting to see a big muscley bottom, but not-like-the-other-fujos love to push the 'ewwww feminine boys, only bara is good' bullshit.

Glad I'm not the only one who's done with this particular meme. The people who can't shut up about how much they love bara and how it's superior to every other style of BL can get so fucking smug about it. Your hairy fridge build bear daddies with giant dicks aren't much more realistic than the effeminate bottoms in mainstream BL, stop acting like it makes your taste more mature.

Fanfics used to be big back then but it mellows down with its hype, I guess that's how I see it and then I dramatize the situation to think it was dying.

This tweet made it to my TL, thankfully while being made fun of, not agreed with. The OP herself is big into BL but for some reason she has this "I'm better than other fujos" mindset, and she's not alone with this narrative. It's starting to piss me off really bad seeing fellow women punching these strawmen of "evil straight chicks fetishizing muh gays (i.e. girls who trooned out and masquerade as gay men)" when they full well know that a lot of fujoshis are lesbian or bi, or at least openly supportive of gay rights.

NO ONE and I do sincerely mean NO ONE goes to the smut section of yaoi for the representation of real life gay people. Shounen Ai is more on the tame side so I can see how some underage girl would look at that and be like ok I wanna see this irl!!!111 but straight up balls to the wall yaoi? Hell no. There's retarded people in every community and I feel like just because some people harass actual gay people irl doesn't mean all of do. Even when I was underage I never bothered literally anyone. If anything I kept it very secret unless I was sure the person I was talking to was also a fujo. If you read the shit at home and only talk about it online with your own community it literally does not hurt the LGBT community literally /at all/. Only when the retarded girls go out IRL and harass people is when it takes a huge retarded turn. Simply keeping to yourself hurts no one. I have no idea why this new wave of fujo hate is coming back in full force. We didn't care about what you thought all those years ago and we sure as hell don't care now.

It must only be the tiniest minority of fujos who actually harass gay people. They're far more likely to harass straight celebrities they ship together than average joe and his average bf that in no way measure up to the cultivated fujo fantasy in either looks or circumstance. Why would they care about random, normal gay guys who don't have a romantic backstory or bishounen looks? That's why they don't ship irl celeb gay couples and always choose imagination based, fictional ships to obsess over.

I'm not sure how to explain it with coherent words but I'll try my best. Like mentioned in >>24314 once all the histrionic underage fangirls started trooning out they decided to make it all about them and chase the sane women out of the fandom, so it's just another evolution of ree staceys get out spiel. I recently saw a tweet that actually said something along the lines of "Fujoshi is a straight woman who fetishizes gay men, people who actually appreciate fictional gay relationships are not fujoshi" which is all the condensed proof you need. In reality, these "mlm activists" are just fujos to everyone not christened to their stupid buzzwords and every time they get called one, you can see how the word "fujo" is just supposed to be read as "woman". See this post from the fakeboi thread for a practical example >>>/snow/795328

I have literally never met a cis gay man who claimed fujos are ~oppressing~ them. I've had them being massive thirsty fudanshis (male fujos) and pushing degenerate, kinky BL on me, a lesbian fujoshi though. The only people being butthurt are the "transmen in a gay relationship" i.e. two lesbians with heaps of internalized misogyny&lesbophobia and their equally retarded handmaidens.

>>24442
I think the "fujos harassing actual gay people" meme originates from the hearsay stereotype of 2005 straight fujos going up to gay guys and being "awww which one is the seme??? :3333" which is obnoxious and socially inept but far from harassment.

Question: Do you seriously see the men in BL as actual men and not strongly female-coded people with male bodies? Yeah, me neither. Back in 2000's it used to be a big meme that the men in yaoi are just chicks with dicks. And even without that, you can appreciate the aesthetics of the porn and the well-written sentimental relationships and development the characters share. A lot of gay guys can enjoy lesbian porn, especially animated lesbian porn, despite not being attracted to women because it's often made for male taste. Just like BL is usually made for women by women, and a noticeable share of BL mangakas are bi/lesbian.

>the "Lesbians must find beautiful 2D men repulsive because they don't want to have sex with IRL men or find them attractive!!!!" meme
Gee I dunno, maybe the popularity of BL within lesbians is that the BL community is 99% women which is why they're drawn to it, they like to read porn with no expectations placed on female characters and they can appreciate the porn made by fellow women? Not everyone wants to self insert into the porn they consume, some people find it awkward and disturbing.

A lot of BL isn't even porn-centric, it's just two males having a meaningful relationship. A lesbian can appreciate well-written straight couples or straight porn too despite there being a male involved. It's not fucking rocket science and I don't know why you guys think it's self-contradictory. Why do so many straight women search up lesbian porn the most despite being attracted to exclusively males?

I didn't say that people of different sexual orientations/sexes can't find stories about people with other kinds of orientations/sex interesting or relatable.
However, you implied in >>24498
that the men in BL are meant to be stand-ins for women.
And I do suspect some closeted lesbians prefer drawing BL because it's popular, while yuri and lesbianism are less so and more shunned.
More and more good yuri is coming out, though.

NTA but this is definitely one of the reasons, thank you for bringing it up because I hadn't even thought about it before. If BL was consumed by men I wouldn't personally be so attracted to it. And like other anons said, yuri circles are full of men perving on women (especially lesbians) and I feel uncomfortable having myself sexualized and/or portrayed in the way a lot of yuri manga does. So I prefer reading BL because as sad as it sounds no female characters = no bad female characters to be annoyed by. I also enjoy sharing BL and discussing it with other girls so there's the social aspect to it too.

And of course, desperate for validation, some girls start to cause drama and infighting.
And that's probably the majority of BL content I see online is teeming with identity politics bullshit. I wish I could go back to like 2009 where the community was more pure and honest.

I have literally never. EVER. In my life met a gay man who felt BL was "insulting" or "fetishizing". And I've met a lot of gay men. Quite the contrary, they either enjoy consuming it like the thirsty fudanshis they are AND support the female creators, or they simply don't give a shit because it's just fucking comics and they know fujos aren't a threat to their wellbeing. Because they're not insane. The only "gay men" who have a problem with it are the vapid "not like other fujos" fakeboi trannies who need to feel special every hour of the day and have created this "straight girl who hates real gays and fetishizes anime boys" boogeyman to drive their delusions. What they mean to say "I hate that these stupid cis whores don't recognize me as a beautiful anime bishie and worship the ground I walk on".

Sorry to be blunt and rude with my wording but that's just how it is and it breaks my heart seeing girls be ashamed of liking BL. I had to deal with all the dudebros taking a big old shit on fujos for being "cringy yaoi paddle girls lezzing out" and now I have to see "woke" circles doing it too. BL has helped so many girls, straight and gay, explore their sexuality in a safe environment and offered a Girls Only space that is to this day extremely rare privilege for young women to have. And now these narcissistic troons and their lackeys are trying to break it apart for nothing.

It's funny to me as someone not even being in the fandom how the entire fanbase jumped on shipping V with everyone since he's technically not related to any of the main characters by blood. Funny, since well, he's still Vergil so it's still incest.

Why even make a world with no adults if you gonna let adults survive? Also I hated Yui through the school bullshit, does he ever get over his massive shitting ego?
I basically dropped it around the season 1 at the time we finally got to vampire Mika. Tell me it gets better. I really want my vampire teen bullshit drama. Also will Ferid be important to the plot? I liked him a lot, strangely.

The stuff with Mika is good, but that's it the rest of the characters are still equally as awful Ferid does become very plot important though with him being implied to be some sort of vampire rapist with the vampire loli? Not sure if that was intentional or not though but he does get a huge role.

Personally I'm sticking to fanfic and doujins. The source material just isn't satisfying to me. I don't know how the author manages to make Mika so likable. Yuu is so dumb. So, so very dumb. And he never stops being full of himself. That said if you just got to vampire Mika FINISH THE REST OF THE ANIME. There really isn't that much left afterward and it's a lot better. Not great but actually kind of enjoyable, in large part because Mika gets lots of good scenes. The final episodes of the anime are even kind of exciting. Honestly it was a mistake making Yuu the main character. Mika is not only more likeable but has the more interesting backstory and the vampire world is more interesting than the human world. A good guy stuck working for the bad guys (as it looks from first glance) is more intriguing too. Oh and Mina's closest 'compatriots', Ferid and Vamp loli also provide more entertaining interactions to bounce off Mika compared to Yuu and his dull as dirt team.

Wish I could find s good fanfic where the storyline of the source material is brought to a conclusion, might well be better than the source material. I just want more Mika and Shinoa without all the baggage of the manga's mediocrity.

Okay, but are there any actually good BL anime?
The only one I've seen that was good was Doukyuusei, but it's honestly kinda boring to me compared to all the other Nakamura Asumiko works so I can't enjoy it fully, knowing she can do shit like J no Subete, but her most popular series is a milquetoast school fluff.

I just want to see animation of moderate quality and the main couple not being cliche assholes or extremely bland for once.

I am really geting my hopes up for Given, but I hate watching ongoing series so I would be late to the party as always.

Also. Was Banana Fish good? Heard vastly differing opinions. Should I read the manga or just watch the series?

I'm really particular about art style, and I hate seme-uke stereotypes with a burning passion. If you have similar thoughts, you'll enjoy the same things I did:

I liked the Banana Fish manga a lot, but it's not for everybody. The show is… okay. I sort of prefer manga by default though, because I'm a fast reader and I'm picky about animation.

Canis (pic related) is a really good BL manga. It has a really cool art style in my opinion. Stop reading when the story about the two leads ends though, because it gets weird and meandering after that. It's my all-time favorite BL manga.

Koimonogatari is a pretty similar manga to Doukyuusei- just a slice-of-life about the characters falling in love and coming out. Probably not what you're looking for, but I figured I'd mention it.

Shimanami Tasogare is really amazing, but it's not BL, it's just the story of one kid coming out. There's only an implied romance at the very end for the MC.

Yami no Matsuei isn't technically BL, but it might as well be. It's one of those situations where the characters' interactions are obviously romantic, they just won't call each other a couple lol. I personally like the anime better than the manga, but obviously the manga goes on longer and is good in its own right. If you like Yu Yu Hakusho, you'll like Yami no Matsuei- very similar tonally imo.

If you like retro stuff and don't mind something that's really bizarre and sexual, Ai no Kusabe (the 1992 OVAs) are cool. They have a really nice art style.

The Tokyo Babylon OVAs are nice too as far as retro BL goes. The story is continued in the mangas, but it does get sad. It's got a little bit of the seme-uke stuff visually, but it's written well enough that I was willing to overlook it.

Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! has an absolutely adorable retro-inspired art style. It's cutesy and slice-of-lifey, which might not be your thing. The main character is kind of awkward. He reminds me a lot of Tsukimi from Kuragehime.

My Good Sister I've been lusting after English Enstars content for ages. The game is so complicated to play without decent Moonspeak skills and this would be a dream come true because I'm all in for the gay idol babies. Glad to find another woman of culture, most male idol franchises are just for otomefags.

>>41961
After a few episodes I'd definitely say watch Given, either now or when it finishes airing. It's probably the first Non-cringeworthy BL anime I've ever seen and they're pretty hard to find because they're often given a nonexistent budget and made to deviate from the original source material a lot for whatever reasons. Something like the Foreign love affair anime was a goddamn insult to the original Yamane manga.

Also I think Sarazanmai can be counted as an anime with BL undertones at least and it finished last month, maybe give it a watch? It's trippy Kunihiko Ikuhara content but I liked it a lot. No. 6 is also a classic but the main couple is bland as shit though so it might not be up your alley. Here's to hoping that BL anime will get more numerous in the future after the success of the recent series.

If this ain't true. I have nothing against otomeshit even though I don't enjoy it myself but I swear the boys are SO ugly in all of them. Their faces are always off somehow in an uncanny way and they have the most hideous designs that have zero personality to them. The enstars boys look so lively and cute/handsome I find them much more enjoyable and interesting, especially with the flashy personalities.

Due to censorship reasons they've made it into a "bromance" drama so if you expect to see explicit bl you won't see it.
Afaik the drama is popular among young women but ive heard that people (who don't watch it for the guys) find it an ok drama.
There's another "bromance" drama called "guardian" and the actors are legit in that one so if you're bothered by subpar acting you should watch that one instead. And then there's "addicted" which IS bl but I'm sure you know about that one.

I think the only thing is that if you get it from steam the 18+ scenes are not included. you have to get it from the creator's website to have those scenes present in the game.

I've been playing it for about two weeks now, and I really think it's cute.

Something that’s been bugging me

How come BL has managed to become a financially viable niche in Asia, but in the West the closest equivalent is unpaid m/m fan works?

Long story short, because Japan has different cultural conceptions of homosexuality. 'Gay' is not an identity in the same way that it is in the West (or at least this is the case historically).

>>81874
same anon, let me add that as far as I know, this is the case in the rest of Asia (someone correct me if I'm off). I'm not Japanese but have East Asian/confucian background, and 'gay' is not viewed as an identity, it's a behavior. So…there's not REALLY sexual identity crises or angsty coming out (which is what you always get in Western media). You'd get backlash if you chose to run off with a partner instead of get married and have a family, but in that case it's not a denial of 'who you are', it's enforcing a familial/societal duty.

I grew so tired of pretending to like the bad, forced female characters/relationships in order not to be branded as "one of those fujos" but it's over, homegirl isn't even real so the only feelings getting hurt are the waifu thirsting men and the women who self-insert in order to ship themselves with the male characters. I'm out.

>Ai no Kusabi

My veteran heart. I saw the 1992 ovas in the early 2000s and fell in love with the series. The worst part was the remake looked SO GOOD, but production kept getting cut until there was only 4 or 5 episodes based on the light novels, which as far as i know, were not translated to English. It's so frustrating because I looooved Ai no Kusabi so much and it's very blade runner type world.

I'm currently playing Persona 5 Royal (nearly done) and this crushed all my hopes for some Akechi romance, even though deep down I knew Atlus would never allow it to be. Idk why men are so triggered at the thought of having gay options, back when P5 was coming out and people were discussing the possibility of a gay romance option (due to Yosuke in P4 apparently intended to be one but removed) and there were hordes of fanboys throwing a tantrum about how "they don't have anything against gay people but the MC should be straight, fuck your forced diversity pushing!!!!". God it's not like they would dress the MC up in rainbow gear to stick it to the ~straighties~, having a normal, optional romance option that just happens to be gay is all I'm asking for. How come women have no problem romancing girls in games but when men have the option to, not even forced to, romance guy characters it's suddenly inexcusable and wrong?

Fuck man, I'm so disappointed. Akechi was the one with the most interesting back story, a ton of depth and we don't even get to touch that detective prince ass. At least the game making you actually hang out with him instead of tying the confidant level to the story progression was nice.

also no spoilers for P5R pls

lol yeah, throw us a bone! I know this is beside the point you're making, but…honestly…I would have even been thrilled with a hidden gay option where if you picked the correct dialogue, you'd eventually get the romance, but otherwise the confidant would stay platonic. (And they apparently were cool with making Yusuke's confidant relatively homoerotic, anyway…??)

Actually, it'd be cool if all date-able characters were platonic by default when increasing their confidant, and the romance flag is only activated if you choose 'flirty' actions. That way, no one has to to sit through any ships they don't care about.

also, re: Yosuke, even without fujogoggles on, I can get the impression that he was written as
a character who is attracted to Yu but is hilariously in denial about it. They even ran with it in the anime and spinoffs.

Yosuke's hidden lines in P4 are interesting. No one really knows what the lines were for, even if they claim they do - I haven't found concrete evidence that Yosuke was/wasn't going to be dateable. (Maybe someone should ask the VA who recorded the lines?) A lot of people speculate that he had been a dateable character because of all the subtext in the game between him and Yu/MC. If it turned out that he was supposed to be a love interest, then Yosuke's in-game behavior makes a lot more sense. God, I wish there was more P4 meta out there.

The game has three considerably older, adult women you can be involved with romantically, one of them is even your teacher. I would be fine with Kawakami doing sex work in desperation to make ends meet because that sadly happens irl, Ohya trying to bribe a high schooler for scoops and Takemi using you as a guinea pig but the fact that they made them romantic options yet making Akechi one was a step too far is pathetic. In all honestly even without my fujo bias playing the game I was the most interested in the chemistry he and the MC had because of how polar opposites they are due to Akira/Ren overcoming his shortcomings and coping with being fucked over by adults while Akechi is bitter about being left alone to survive in a world where he's constantly abused and taken advantage of by grownups. The MC was literally his only link to happiness, unlike the other confidants who were connected to at least someone else in their lives. What a fucking tragedy and a missed opportunity.

i wasn’t a massive akechi fan when i played but a confession from ryuji would’ve fit in so well with his confidant. him opening up to ren towards the end felt like a much more natural progression into a romantic connection than “we pretended to date and i liked it so we should really date” and other boring displays of chemistry in the game. i wish they had some guys to romance and some women you can’t, it would mean their characters could be way cooler. they can’t have a woman who’s a disgraced politician or affiliated with gangs or just doesn’t look cute because you have to want to date them all, so they all need to be younger than mid 20s and not too seedy. the persona series has me conflicted a lot

I know about it of course, but Persona wasn't as main stream back then as it is now so it kinda exists in its own category. If they added a gay romance option now it'd probably make all the waifufagging male fans throw a temper tantrum and they'd be too afraid of the backlash caused. Back then nobody cared because the series wasn't as based on attracting waifufags as it is now. It's a shame because P5 was an amazing game story- and gameplay wise so the way it occasionally plays into the waifufag pockets is distracting and annoying. Like did Kawakami really have to wear that fucking maid outfit?

Like another anon said above they clearly had no trouble making Yusuke have gay undertones and the game even baits you with the swan boat confidant scene so why the fuck would they not make the boys dateable. To be honest even though I'm team Akechi at times Ryuji's and the MC's relationship seemed like it was much intimate than with any of the girl characters. Don't know if it's just me being a biased fujo but quite a many of the female romance options were really awkward and out of place. MC gave me more "that gay best friend" vibes when interacting with girls lmao

tbh I think this is a mistaken assumption a lot of people make, even about their own preferences.

The problem is that 99% of the time, we're stuck choosing between shitty canon BL that exists solely for the romance storyline, and a non canon couple from a high quality series that has great writing and chemistry but don't get together. But how many examples do we have of male main characters in a great series that just happen to get together eventually, despite not being BL genre? If there was a truly beloved non canon couple that got together, fujos would be happy. Maybe it wouldn't work for the sort of series that has a tonne of conflicting ships, but a lot have a juggernaut main ship that wouldn't piss anyone off.

All my fujo heart really wants is the couples that I enjoy by virtue of their characterization and relationship, just being written to end up together like any normal straight couple.

They pander to women and fujo way more in other megaten games so I'm guessing it's not worth taking that risk in Persona when the fujo audience has already been throwing a shit load of money at them for decades in the first place. In Japan SMT4 Apocalypse got released the same year as in P5 and I remember that 1) fujo were already playing P5 anyway and 2) many of them were playing SMT4 Apocalypse and losing their shit (in a good way) at the potential gay mpreg gay endings if you choose to follow Dagda he makes you a god and lets you revive one of your allies as your devoted "goddess" to rule over the world and that applies to your male allies as well.

Meanwhile the male Persona audience is made of total nerds who know about fujoshi and know where to expect fujo fanservice even if they don't care or like it, and normies who could potentially be put off by it and think it's a gay dating sim. Strangely enough I think the guys obsessing over waifus are otaku AND normies in an equal number, nerds are into it and normies pretending to be JRPGs experts are vocal in a "look I'm a nerd too!!!1!" way.

All of this. I wish the popularity of recent gay-toned content (Promare for example) would encourage more producers to include M/M content like any other straight couple. I'm not here to get some sort of a virtue signaling yass queen slay the straights bones westshit always throws at is audience, I'm here to see gay stuff normalized. I've seen a lot of mangas during the recent years that include pretty obvious gay couples in series that are not about them but I'd just want to see them become confirmed canon for once. Japan doesn't have the same sort of deep-rooted homophobic history as the west has as the current stance was actually hammered in by western imperialists 100 years ago so they still have preserved this tolerance for same sex couples to be extremely intimate just as long as they don't say they love each other from feudal times.

Yeah, at least in the US but since Persona was always only translated in English and just sold as is in Europe, and only Europeans that are already familiar with the US knew about it for a while. That's just how marketing works there I guess, so now even when something isn't marketed that way people will assume it actually is out of habit.

But really, as much as Western and Japanese nerds complain about "rreeeee fujoshit get out, not everything is gay reee" they usually don't care THAT much and I even met a bunch of guys who act like this online who actually are pretty happy to meet other nerds irl (in cons or else where) even if they're fujoshi as long as nobody involved isn't a total sperg. But in Persona's case it seems to be THE money maker for ATLUS since they nearly went bankrupt not long ago before being bought by SEGA, which is why they made so many P4 spinoffs so they can't really be too experimental with the series anymore, meanwhile SMT and its other spinoffs are successful in Japan no matter what they do but more niche in the West so they've got nothing to lose so far. The fujoshi who like JRPGs already play games from the entire franchise and are pandered to as a result of being loyal, supportive fans, male nerds either don't care or are ok with fujo fanservice, or at worse make constant jokes about Yamato wanting to fuck Bunny all day everyday. But normies who are a potential new target demographic for Persona thanks to its new success won't give a shit about megaten as a whole so I wouldn't be surprised if Atlus gives us more weird gay scenes (as well as more innovations in terms of gameplay in general) like in SMT4A instead. And keep inmind that said male normies are on the same level of "I'm a gamer guurl" and rely on sites like Kotaku to get news on the series so I'm sure many think it's too gay (so they wont buy games) or not lgbTTTTQQQ enough (so they won't buy it either), or too problematic in general (same deal)

Now I wonder what will happen to the future of Persona since the current team wants to move on to other projects within Atlus and a new team as already been designated to work on the series. Maybe they'll take more risks (in general I mean)? They're the same developers that made Catherine Fullbody have a gay route so who knows. And I wish I had some knowledge about the Japanese fandom, I can just guess that kinda older fujoshi like megaten a lot since the beginning but that's it.

It's so stupid because the Japanese fandom doesn't care. I've never heard of the Japanese fanboys going insane with rage over a gay character in any franchise, they don't give a fuck about the male characters and only want their waifus to stay satisfied. It's always the western dudebros who start reeing about muh SJW shills forcing degeneracy or the other extreme crying about fetishization/bad representation. And now because Japanese game studios are on such a strange kick to try and appeal to western audiences they can't put any of that shit in their games in fears of causing either of the extremes to cause backlash.

Fuck I just want to have a gay option in a Persona game. At least FE: Three houses had three but even for that one two of the options were ugly middle aged men and only one was age-appropriate and attractive, while the female options were all young, beautiful women. What a joke.

>Japanese game studios are on such a strange kick to try and appeal to western audiences
I don't think it's so strange, I think mobile games are way more popular in Japan so developers have to compete against them and they're starting to see Western fans as a reliable market because mobile games don't have the same impact over here.

Bbut seriously, Japanese fans may be total spergs but they're better at minding their business than Western fans who pirate games or don't even play them and won't stop complaining about potential gay shit in games. For P4 I'm sure the reason why Yosuke wasn't a gay option after all is because they developed and released P4 super fast, but then they added even more hints in spinoffs/sequels and in P4G, where Yosuke and the MC can straight up act like a cute young married couple but they still can't date. Oh but instead you're forced to french kiss the ugly Nana bootleg that nobody liked!

>>86837
Was there a backlash then? If so I don't think the P1/P2 developers ever gave a fuck because the drama CD straight up had fujo fanservice and Satomi Tadashi confirmed over and over again that Tatsuya and Jun were made for each other in interviews. I'm sure the reason why he insisted on Maya/Tatsuya in P2 Eternal Punishment is because he's obsessed with love triangles though, dude just HAD to put the ridiculous Serph/Sera/Heat love triangle in DDS when it was never a thing in the original story. But then again, the team slightly changed starting from P3 and the P1/P2 went back to working on mainline and other spinoffs.

aw yeah, Persona meta time!
Anon from >>84899 here, there's been no official confirmation that Yosuke's dummied out lines (see video) were indeed part of a romance route. It's valid speculation because of what made it into the final game (all of Yosuke's gay sperging, plus his social links have the structure and pacing of a romance route…it's pretty egregious), but the whole "THEY TOOK OUT YOSUKE'S GAY OPTION" is repeated as though it were indisputable fact. I'm like this close to tweeting Yuri Lowenthal to see if he remembers what these lines were for.

Also, I've never found Showtaro Morikubo's version of these lines aside from the single "ore, omae ga suki da" that was in some random YT video about P4, I'd be interested to hear them and whether they're more explicitly romantic than the English dub.

No. 87051

Man, there was so much Yu/Yosuke fanservice in the P4 spinoffs. To the point where Yosuke somehow ends up looking gayer than Kanji, whose story is literally about being insecure in his masculinity and terrified that he's gay.

And everyone seems to forget about Teddie canonically macking on all the dudes, though I guess the joke is that he's an otherworldly creature who wants to fuck everybody due to being ignorant about human social conventions.

>Showtaro Morikubo's version of these lines aside from the single "ore, omae ga suki da"
It was a long time ago but I found all the lines by Morikubo too, where he mentions somethings about feeling warm inside, just like in the English version. No idea where I could find them again though, sorry. At this point it's not officially confirmed but it's like 99.99999999999% probable that Yosuke was meant to be a love interest. His social link is kinda similar to Naoto's in that if you don't choose very specific options you can't unlock a "scene" that will indicate you can date the character so you're automatically friendzoned by the character at rank 10. Like, if you want to hug Yosuke and let him cry in your arms you have to choose a specific option in his previous rank, and with Naoto she always friendzoned me because I never choose the flirty options.

>>87051
>Yosuke somehow ends up looking gayer than Kanji, whose story is literally about being insecure in his masculinity and terrified that he's gay
I'm sure that was the whole point of all these scenes, they even added some in Golden, but it's like they set up the joke and forgot to add the punchline. Weird as fuck, especially when you get optional dialogues like in the date café scene where you have Kanji saying that Yosuke gave him the whole "IT'S OK TO BE GAY YOU'RE STILL MY BRO EVEN IF YOU SUCK DICKS" speech off-screen and Yosuke starts to spreg out again even if that scenes is after we find out Naoto is a girl.

I'll never get over Dojima cockblocking Yu and Teddie.

>set up the joke and forgot to add the punchline
Plus, Yosuke's character arc is unsatisfying/doesn't make sense if he didn't actually end up having a crush on Yu.

I'm going to poke around on the Japanese internet to see if I can find Morikubo's lines, or at least some commentary on Yosuke's route that tells us something that the English-speaking Persona fandom doesn't already know. Good point about the "you idiot, hugging is for girls" scene - not only do you have to "unlock" it, but hugging is often what starts the dating route for the romanceable female characters…one of those things that's a lot more obvious in Japanese/lost in translation because hugging is so platonic here, lol.

The difference in Lowenthal vs. Morikubo's delivery, too…man…the "I like you, don't go" is so heartbreaking, you can tell that Yosuke is softly opening his heart to Yu. Whereas the Japanese line really has that hesitant guarded vibe.

That "what the HELL are you two doing?" plus the freakin bathhouse music playing cracks me up every single time. This fucking game I swear

can someone help me? i'm trying to search for a yaoi manga that i've read years ago. Spent years looking for it but I always mistaken its title with heart strings since heart strings was next to the manga in listings in mangafox years ago.

it's about a guy (let's call him A) who took up a housekeeping job since his theater gig doesn't help him much (he's a stage actor), financially. He ends up hired by a guy (B) that isn't necessarily rude but critics A's way of cleaning his house, cooking him food and etc. So, A somehow contacted B's family's housekeeper, since B left his family home and now leaves at an apartment or condo by himself, and taught him how to make curry the same way B have always liked and the story goes fluffy from there.

there was an extra of B watching A's play. A's wearing a dress. B hands him a large bouquet and B was pretty confused with the plot of the stage play since it involves aliens but A doesn't mind and was flattered that B was there.

After the extra. The story moves on to B's inferiority complex with his older brother (C) who I pressume doesn't like it when B is happy. C also married the woman who B liked. So, when C has inkling feeling about B being in a some sort of relationship with A, C tries to make a move on A, at B's place when B was unavailable at the time. A was pissed and told C to leave the house and that's all I could remember.

That was the last chapter of the manga I have read. Idk if it has been updated afterward or have become complete. I just want to read it again.

I saw people raving about The Untamed for months and always thought no, I'm not gonna watch it and now I decided to give it a try and it's the best thing I've ever seen. It's so addictive, I finished it within just a couple of days, nearly every single episode made me cry lol
Not only are the actors handsome and the costumes/scenery beautiful, the story line is very good too, all characters are well thought out, you even feel for the villains. I always hate when yaoi/bl portrays female characters as annoying and inferior, but that's absolutely not the case here, they're all strong and likeable.
They perfectly managed to work around the China's censorship, also thanks to the great acting, it doesn't feel like there's something missing at all, if anything their love seems even deeper that way as if they were outright kissing. I also always hate when the uke is some tiny, weak damsel in distress while the seme is muscular and overconfident but here the guy who has the "girlier" personality is also loud, outgoing and probably the strongest and bravest character, while the other is elegant and silently supportive of him. Highly recommend.
I wish there were more good chinese bl dramas/mangas because I like the visuals so much, I know that Hua Hua You Long is drawn in a similar style but the story is just gross.

Unrelated to Untamed but honestly does this ever happen? I've been a rotten ass fujo for a decade and I've never seen it happen but people keep bringing it up. In all of BL that I read female characters are either nonexistent (understandable) or just as well written as the men. They're often supportive of the main couple even if they sometimes fall in the fag hag category and more or less just, I don't know, normal women. Maybe I've just avoided the garbage.

Reminder. Fujoshi are just misogynistic self-hating girls who wish they were male pseudo-trannies so that they can be degenerate faggots with no 'gross females' around. Because apparently, girly men are gods while actual proper girls are disgusting. Go figure the fujoshi mind. For a bunch that claims to be be obsessed with males, they sure have lesbian tendencies with their attraction to femininity. But like the hypocrites they are, they desperately deny it under the pretext that the characters are just "handsome" men, even though the authors are clearly appropriating feminine traits to make their designs like it's the most normal thing to do.

Even so, what's the problem with that? It's made by girls for girls, and obviously their best point of reference for anything to do with love or sex is themselves. There's nothing offensive or bad about girls being attracted to both female and male traits, even if they end up combining the two into particularly girly gay male characters.

BL doesn't exist as representation for either gay men or women, it's literally just self indulgent romance/porn material for women to enjoy. I can't imagine begrudging anyone that - we spend our whole lives being told we need to be pretty, young, slim and hairless to be worthy of getting fucked but god forbid girls project that expectation onto men in harmless niche manga.
