There is this idea of BL authors that there needs to be some kind of toxicity in the relationships (stalking,…
A lot of the BL genre seems to cater to hetero women. It really bothered me to watch anything that is classified as BL and not LGBTQ+, because the BL genre does seem to attract quite a lot of people who like to sexualize and fetishize LGBTQ+ characters. The target audience and the production team, of course, define if we get hypersexualized characters. I've seen a lot of comments here in regards to how they were so surprised to see a BL story that doesn't have any problematic aspects. I'm just wondering how much of our hetero-normative society and mindset and the people who produce and write such shows, are the reason why people are so obsessed with LGBTQ+ characters and their sexual life.
I think that realistic LGBTQ+ representation in media is still not good enough and even "bad" porn might be a reason why people are making assumptions on sexual preferences as character-defining. I don't think that some people realize that watching BL/GL content, does not magically turn you into someone who is supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. It can even cause more harm if people's view on real-life LGBTQ+ people gets influenced by toxic and abusive fictional stories.
I do think it's questionable to call something Boy Love or Girl Love in general. The distinction between BL and LGBTQ+ film/series is so interesting because I don't think a story of for instance a gay couple needs to be labeled as BL, to begin with. I do think we need more LGBTQ+ content and I think it's important to label that content so that people are able to find well-made productions and their stories. I mean if there was enough realistic or at least non-problematic content, we might not even need to label it.
The success of CM seems to reflect the need for good, positive, and peaceful stories of LGBTQ+ people that don't focus on sexualizing them.
I love that each episode we get to experience so many different sides of Kurosawa and Adachi?!! It's like each episode we get a new puzzle piece and I'm not ready to finish this series/puzzle T_T
Kurosawa and Adachi hugging and being cute boyfriends in public.I want what they have~ :(https://twitter.com/sawadikap_kenny/status/1334566956989485057
