I really like BL, though there's very few BL comics on Tapastic that I like. But I'm very sure I like homoromantic relationships over heteroromantic relationships for reasons you could call shallow or improper
Even after reading peoples opinions why they hate BL so much, I still don't understand why they've got to be so salty about it. There's many MANY things media sucks at portraying, so why is only bad when BL portrays homosexual love poorly. I'm pretty sure most creators aren't aiming for realism anyways. I know I'm not, reality sucks, this is exactly the reason why I like fiction so much. So let people have their fantasies, just don't read BL if you don't like it. Or do, because not all BLs are about rape and abuse, maybe you'll find some that you like instead of having this big bias.
O K, I'm salty AF, I'm sorryyyy
But BL gets way too much hate for reasons I don't find apparent at all, and it kind of hurts because BL creators are creators too, they put lots of love and effort in their work, just like y'all. So why diss it as cheap and bad when it's just something they love to create, and a lot of people love to read too? Does calling BL bad really make you feel like a better person?
But haters and lovers will probably never agree on the matter. So for them to get along when there's a salt-fest going sounds pretty unlikely. I think the best solution is trying to not poke the fire, calling BL bad will summon BL lovers and they will defend themselves, and... I'm not sure what summons the BL haters yet?
I guess just try to mention BL as little as possible if you don't want your thread to turn out like my mama's chicken soup
