| I've noticed that in a good portion of BL stories there are either no important female characters, or all significant female characters are kinda... bitches. They might not be outright bad people but, like, you probably wouldn't want to hang out with them. I've heard that for some women yaoi is attractive precisely because it provides escape from their own sex, so I guess that's why some authors do that. And, well, while it's a bit annoying, I think I understand where they are coming from. To be completely honest, as a guy, I sometimes have similar feelings when reading yuri: I'm in it for the girls and I can get annoyed when some male character starts flirting with them. |
| Jealous? Let's have sex. Angry? Let's have sex. Sad? Let's have sex. /insert any problem(s) that can't be solved here Let's have sex. This will always be the only problem I have with yaoi. |

| what makes me angry is a very, very apparent seme. like. i'm talking, he has a thick neck, hella broad shoulders, 8 foot giant tall and the most damn ugliest face i've ever seen in my life but then they pair him with a sweet ol' kind uke :'( i don't know. maybe that's just me, since i like semes and ukes who are of similar stature/height/body. |

Not reading guyxguy stuff to watch a trap overrreacting eactly like a girl) Wha…? Bishōnen are arguably one of the best things in this world. 💕 Not bishounen, but uke acting like a very submissive girl... Hell, even girls irl mostly don't act like that. |

I'm using the word "bishōnen" alone because a bunch of yaoi I adore are actually older than the invention of the concepts of "uke" and "seme", yet extremely feminine bishōnen are part of that genre since the very beginning. And anyway, it changes nothing: I'm more than fine with extremely feminine bishōnen, be it physically or in their behavior. I don't have Maraich and Gilbert in my fav' characters for nothing. I'm in fact quite fond of that kind of character. *coughs horrendously* g-gilbert you say gilbert cocteau? hello, i think we've just become friends. |

Nothing against traps, I like them, but that attitude, though. suzakukaworu said: *coughs horrendously* g-gilbert you say gilbert cocteau? hello, i think we've just become friends. Hello, what is this about? Some masterpiece I've missed maybe? When I read Gilbert I think of the guy from Pandora Hearts (that had so much potential for a bl, gosh). Amazing manga, but I'm open for suggestions. i consider it a masterpiece. the gilbert i'm talking about is different from the gilbert in pandora hearts. he is from a very old 1976 (exactly 40 years ago) shounen ai manga that has not been fully translated yet, if you like fluffier and all around romantic stories then maybe it would not be the right fit for you. it is tragic; don't read this spoiler unless you want to be spoiled a bit. i really love it though! you might want to try? serge is a nice boy who moves into a dorm at a academy and gets involved with his new roommate who has an infamous reputation for, well, you would find it rather scandalous. |

| When either guy keeps insisting that he is still straight/not gay, especially in shounen-ai. I'm like "Honey, sit down cause I've got some news for you." |
Isabella_S said: Hello, what is this about? Some masterpiece I've missed maybe? Speaking about "masterpiece" for Kaze to Ki no Uta is an understatement, we're speaking about a monument of the whole shōjo demographic here, which happens to be a yaoi too. Kaze to Ki no Uta, with Terra e (not yaoi that one) is the major work from Keiko Takemiya, one of the "founding mothers of the modern shōjo". By the art alone, you know it's not your average manga, but that the magaka has an actual artistic approach: (Gilbert being the blond guy) A good little amount of the first/second generation of yaoi works are like that, by magaka of the similar stature than Takemiya (especially Moto Hagio who did a bunch of excellent yaoi). Although, those "yaoi" can be quite "alien" and "unusual" in comparison to modern yaoi works. Not Kaze to Ki that is still similar, but some others like From Eroica with Love (started in 1976 too, but still on-going as for today, making it the longest running yaoi manga) which doesn't have much in common except for gay characters. |

God, I hate that :v Usually it's uke, he can be dating guy for x years and still be all like "I'm not homo!", geez. I also hate overly feminine, whiny uke guys, who keep behaving like high school juniors even if they are supposedly adults. Converting MC to become gay by rape is also something I'm not too fond of, but eh, I can live with it, as long as it's not as stupid as Koisuru Boukun. Drugging and molesting your homophobic sempai you've been in love for some time? Yeah, not cool. |

| can't stand fast paced manga without relationship development and suddenly jumping into sex like what |
 |
| When MC is sexually assaulted and still gets together or becomes friends with the person. |
