| Because I prefer looking at female characters in anime. GL = girls x 2 BL = girls x 0 girls x 2 > girls x 0 => GL > BL :) |
|
| its the exact opposite for me. BL > GL |
 |
| I actually dont like both but If I had to pick one, Of course I would pick GL and not BL. Isn't it obvious. Its because I am a guy who is attracted to girls. Seeing boys make out with boys is disgusting to me. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
Sotara said: Yes, they can. I like BL genre, but not like GL. But I am neutral to people who like GL genre, it is their own decision, same as mine. SAME BESTIEEE... for some reason GL doesn't sit right w me and feels weird but thats my problem overall i like BL more (but not like super lovers shit) |

Maybe because you are a girl and like to watch and read about BL. |

I'm not into boys but I am into nice romances and there's some heartwarming male romances that I've thoroughly enjoyed and would totally watch again. :) Not attacking you or anything, nobody chooses how they feel about certain things of course, just saying that it might not be that obvious. ^^ |

It's just "whatever". No strong feelings in either direction, it's just normal. So those "99%" seem pretty far-fetched to me. :P |

They dont find it normal either. |

| Because GL is superior to BL and that is a fact 👌👌 |
    ☁ |
| I find GL to be rather err dull. In terms of plot at least. It's basically two girls together. Not much of a leap from how girls as friends are usually portrayed in anime. So likely already appeals to those who like cute girls in anime anyway. (Plus males will still probably still enjoy it more too as it's not a threat to their masculinity :P ) Personally I prefer BL but then again I prefer male characters in anime. Plus I like the potential conflict. |
 |
| It's just a matter of feeling. For me I don't feel as happy as watching GL when I look into BL pictures and works. Some people like watching boy and girl interacting in particular, and they shouldn't also be judged to be traditional or even homophobic. Preferring any one of them should not be judged or questioned, unless someone has much hate on other genres and attacks other's interest. |

| I will say something which I don't know if it is true or not, but what I have heard of. BL anime relationships are more toxic and borderline abuse at some points. I don't know if that is accurate but I have heard of such shows like Killing Stalking which is not a healthy relationship. While Girl Love tends to be more cutesy and wholesome, even pure if you will. Of course I can't say there aren't any wholesome BL shows. There is Sasaki and Miyano which is kinda cute But I have seen clips of different BL anime or movies where the relationship is toxic and very one sides. One is the dominating side while one is the submissive one. Like not in a good way but in a violent one, maybe even manipulative one. Feel free to correct me |

| I dislike both GL and BL so I guess I'm fine |
    |
| I like both. But GL turns me on while BL turns me off. It's pretty straightforward to me. I still do enjoy BL stories tho. It's just that GL has a little something more to me. |
| I'm attracted to girls, watching GL has that +attraction point that BL can't do. (3) |
 |
| Bcoz ive seen it in Hentai a number of times. Up to the point that it desensitized me about it. Love your signature OP!!! |
" Kindness can sometimes lead you to trouble. "  |
| People seriously need to stop politicizing BL and GL, while both might have a handful of good shows, at the end of the day BL is created to pander to the fetishes of women and GL for men so it's just a matter of preference. It's a different question if you like one and actively hate on the other though, that's just hypocrisy. |

| i'm down with any romance as long as they're both cute |
| Honestly I don't like either, straight romance is my go to |
  |
| No better explanation than post #51 :) |
| Because humans think differently from each other and have preferences. I'm sorry, but this is an incredibly closed minded question. No offense, just trying to contribute to the discussion, but- Why do you think that someone who likes GL should have to like BL as well? Or the other way around? You're allowed to have preferences of your own. You don't have to just accept whatever social media tells you as your opinion. Just enjoy the things that you do, as long as you aren't harming anyone, and think critically wherever necessary. Don't worry about what other people like, because it doesn't affect you in any way, shape, or form. |
| I like watching bl. I don't watch gl, but not because I don't like it or because it disgusts me, I'm just less interested in it. However, when I see comments in which people write that they like GL but BL disgusts them, Or vice versa.I feel like this XD Like, is it some half-hearted homophobia or something? lol |

i dislike bl because just imagining a man sucking another man's cock after he's in his ass and covered in poop thats so disgusting
| @Maruseru93 But you know straight couples have sex like this too. XD Besides, it's weird to imagine it. I don't know what your ideas are about BL or GL, but those are usually series that show normal, cute relationships. There are no erotic scenes unless you watch something more hardcore and mature |

| Isn't it the same as asking why a straight man likes girls and not guys? |
