Scenario: You have a lesbian girl as the MC, (How do you know she's lesbian? Well she herself claims so!) and you have a hot looking straight guy whom she has no interest in but he's totally into her. He actively peruses her, doesn't take no for an answer, invades her privacy and personal space, does not respect her boundaries, even rapes her. As the series progresses she gets used to having her personal boundaries invalidated and starts falling in love with the guy and eventually sees how much he loves her and accepts his love and they live happily ever after. Question: 1. Would you defend the guy because love is love? 2. Would you praise such a series for having bisexual representation or throw a fit for the way the relationship was depicted? |

I'm not a BL fan, but since this isn't BL: Maou_heika said: As a fictional scenario I would defend all of it, but assuming it was real: I would only defend a persistent pursue, because I think it's legit to not give up immediately and prove one's determination after a rejection.1. Would you defend the guy because love is love? Maou_heika said: I would praise it for the depiction of such an unusual scenario and potential lessons that could be learned from it.2. Would you praise such a series for having bisexual representation or throw a fit for the way the relationship was depicted? |

Sounds to me like she's suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. She's coping with the constant torture being done to her by tricking herself into believing that she loves him because she sees no way out of that situation. Maou_heika said: 1. Would you defend the guy because love is love? Nope, I wouldn't defend him. It also doesn't sound like they actually love each other deep down. The lesbian MC seems to be coping really hard with Stockholm Syndrome, while the guy character just has the hots for her but doesn't actually love her deep down. Maou_heika said: 2. Would you praise such a series for having bisexual representation or throw a fit for the way the relationship was depicted? I definitely wouldn't praise such a series for having bisexual representation. Would I throw a fit for the way the relationship was depicted? Well, if this is a BL series, then no, since I very likely wouldn't pick up this series to begin with. If this isn't a BL series, I really like the character a lot, and that character was done really dirty by the author, then depending on the details, that could potentially be another story. |

Yes Maou_heika said: Would you praise such a series for having bisexual representation or throw a fit for the way the relationship was depicted? Yes it's very unique |

I haven't seen a whole lot of BL and I prefer yuri or just straight romances though I can enjoy BL it seems and what I have seen so far I haven't seen any of that. Tasogare Out Focus did have a rapey scene but it was due to a state of delirium so it so it lacked any moral violation of accountability and he apologized anyway iirc. I am aware of the trope though but I have a feeling a lot of cases might be due to language barriers and cultural differences. Japanese has multiple words for "no" that lose their distinction of meaning when being translated just flatly as "no" especially given the contextual nature of Japanese. So it isn't necessarily rape in every case as it is one male being very assertive and the other being very coy and shyly hesitant but willing. Not everything is black and white. It would be helpful if someone from Japan would explain it or if there is some interviews with BL authors that explains their intent behind certain scenes. As for the premise, I'd watch that and judge for myself but you can dislike a character's actions and still like the character or find it arousing to watch so I don't even get what you're looking for. I mean it is just fiction viewed in the lens of fetishism anyway so it doesn't matter. GinInYourJuice said: Sounds to me like she's suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

It's just something that persistently is used in media. It's not in any diagnostic manual. If you read into it it's just a self defense mechanism of people kidnapped or held hostage trying to avoid being hurt or trick their captor so they can escape or otherwise just normal empathy from a more empathetic person from the time spent together able to know them. Being empathetic or having self preservation skills isn't a mental illness. |

Geezus. These type of scenarios are fantasies for women. Why do you say this is food, for thought of BL fans? Like I know a lot of BL is made for women, and this is the kind of thing y'all think about apparently.... but I watch BL anime so I can see gay relationship... how about you? Merry Christmas |

1. Love doesn't justify anything and everything. I'd be ok with him pursuing her to some extent, as long as he wasn't overly pushy or gross about it, but rape is obviously a step too far. It's fiction, so no one is actually getting hurt, but I personally probably wouldn't enjoy a story like that. Even then though, depending on how his behavior was addressed (like it if wasn't treated as romantic or charming because he just likes her so much he can't help but be a massive creep), it could still be an engaging story. I don't think I'd want them to end up together though, unless maybe he went through a believable redemption arc and sincerely regretted how he'd treated her. It would just depend on how everything played out. People can make bad decisions and do the wrong things, and then go on to genuinely grow as a person and realize how awful they were. I might accept it if it went in that direction. 2. Maybe both? Maybe neither? Representation probably wouldn't be a big factor to me either way. Thankfully, most of these old BL stereotypes are the exception to the rule now (though even among older works when these kinds of things were more common, it was never universal). Healthy relationships and consent are the norm in more recent works from the last 15ish years or so (though "healthy" doesn't necessarily mean blissful and problem-free, just like it doesn't in straight romance stories). Obviously it would be great if things had always been this way, but better late than never, I guess. |

Yeah, it isn't officially classified as a mental illness, but I also highly doubt that there's never been anyone in the past who's sided with their captors or abusers. There are bound to be at least a good number of people who would feel inclined to do what they have to do in order to maintain the last bit of sanity that they have left and/or to increase their chances of escape, even if their chances are increased by just by a little. |

@Maou_heika In my opinion, "bisexual representation" requires evidence that the character is attracted to both sexes. BL don't do that, because having a boy flirt with a girl goes against the whole point of the show. Of course there are exceptions such as this hentai. https://myanimelist.net/anime/47591/Kuro_Gal_ni_Natta_kara_Shinyuu_to_shitemita |

@Lucifrost I think the assumption is based on the boy earlier identifying as straight rather than him actually flirting with girls and later going gay for his abuser, of course there are there are people who would simply call such a character gay as well. |

@Maou_heika There is no such hypocrisy. If they only like BL, there's no reason why they'd enjoy a romance with a female or female-coded character as a central piece. If they like noncon content like the one you describe only in BL, then they will still not like it because this isn't BL. And if they don't like noncon, then no matter how much of other things aside from BL they watch, they will still not like this. So it's really absurd, since you are asking a question to a fandom about a personal preference within some members of the fandom, and that also aligns with their tastes and doesn't contradict anything. |

@Maou_heika It's either a shoddy translation or a tried out trope of "the magical dick that turns men gay" which is rarely outside of pwp bl manga that you read half asleep at 2am. Or when it truly is such a case, it has little to do with the fans interpretation or being delulu but the mangaka actually writing it as such (which again, is a corny trope well established in japanese bl, why though? you should ask them) You can always read manga where everyone is just into men or the concept of sexuality isn't mentioned/doesn't exist. |

that just sounds gross. Having bi representation is great but most women would tell you that a person constantly overstepping our boundaries is just not really acceptable and will almost never lead to the desired result. Sometimes people like these scenarios in fiction but it just gives me the ick as a pansexual woman who has had to deal with constant sexual harassment by people trying to "pursue" me before. |

This is a romance/erotica problem, not a BL one. Look up "booktok" and "dark romance" and you'll see books like "Haunting Adeline" that make Yaoi rape look tame in comparison... And all happening to women, too! Just like real life... BL gets a lot more flak because it's gay and either that in and of itself freaks people out or darker/complex narratives involving minorities are scrutinized for not being positive because people are assumed to be stupid and will think that bad/morally ambiguous guy who happens to be black or gay makes all people who fall into that category bad. The number one demographic of homophobes is straight men and they are NOT reading Yaoi, nor getting their worldview from picking up a copy of Yarichin Bitch Club. They are getting homophobia from irl sources like alpha male podcasts, Fox News and friend groups... I would know, unlike the stereotype I actually go outside and talk to people! BL isn't supposed to be representation like how we treat it in the Western media, as an afterschool special PSA that we're supposed to pat ourselves on the back for since we consumed the good media(tm) and are therefore good (noticeably, western capitalism has ingeniously ingrained the facade of morality and politics into many of its products to create identity-based product consumption, boosting sales via building deeply entrenched brand loyalty; I doubt it truly works tbh). The characters are not political/moral messaging stand-ins, they are their own men who struggle, lose, rejoice, suffer and win. Here's an excerpt from a review I wrote, about Akira from Togainu no Chi He is one of my favourite characters of all time BECAUSE he is an emotionally stunted young man who starts out as dismissive and distant, but is forced to confront his emotions due to the shock and trauma of his environment, and what happens between him and his new allies. He is forced to be vulnerable. He takes damage. He is traumatized. He is stressed. He is tested. He cracks. And despite it all, he chooses life, forgiveness and love. His growth is greatly influenced by what each romantic interest in the route has to teach him (whether literally like in Motomi’s route or perhaps a trial by fire like Rin) which makes him best appreciated in the grand, holistic scheme of things when you’ve been through every route after like 30 hours. How is he more of an offensive caricature than surface-level bubbly crap like Heartstopper (which I did try to read btw)??? Genuinely curious. Look dawg, I don't think the LGBT community at large gives af about BL in general since it's pretty niche in the grand scheme of things. Gay guys' main complaint about Yaoi is that the men are too feminine in both behaviour and appearance, not the non-con (look for like 2 seconds in GeiKomi and you'd see that it's just as, if not more viscerally present). We have a decent amount of Bisexual Fudanshis in the BL Fanclub. A lot of trans men said they transitioned because of Yaoi. The community is the number one place to find nerdy lesbians and bisexual women and I love being there because of it! All the complaints about BL come from Twitter and Tumblr "people" and it's usually dumb projection/mischaracterization on their part. |

@LSSJ_Gaming I've read way worse, you could literally just write this into a book and sell it to women, maybe getting rid of the lesbian subplot would get you more sales, but otherwise it's quite tame. |
