my turtle fujo verdict is that during teenage-hood naruto is most likely to top, being the "boke" raises his hornyness so he is the one most likely to push the romance. During adulthood I can see sasuke being more dominant and in the top role as he is edgier than ever and naruto just wants him back. But when they reach old geezer status I can see them switching constantly depending on their mood.

for me, it was just boring. towa's such a dull uke (not cute at all, just some bulky skelly apathetic dude) and completely wasted on the tops + setting. it was also so slow kek. i got as far as him leaving that one dude's (?) apartment after they cut his arm or whatever then my interest totally petered out.

lkyt is much better. i do wish mc was a uke though. can't have everything

No. 298456

>>298428
ah, you're right. Now that I think about it probably is just a me problem. I just haven't liked what has come from major studios recently. SD, Lkyt, UltraC, the weird doctor one from the Hadaka people (which I thought would at least be morbidly funny but it wasn't), etc. Ooe looks ok but not my type, either. I liked Tokyo Onmyoji, Hashihime, and Sorcerer's Choice.
I think maybe my tastes have gotten very narrow with age.

re: the game feeling slow, i see where you're coming from but i feel like most if not all of the n+c titles have the same pacing issues. seems less like a slow damage issue and more like a n+c issue imho

towa didn't do much for me either lmao, i'll be honest i spent most of the time wishing he'd actually eat something and wondering how the hell he didnt just keel over from his anachan diet of coffee and cigs (ill still take edgelord towa over a bland white bread protagonist like konoe from lamento any day though kek)

>>298456
i liked reis route tbf. rei in general deserved better. but yeah, the true route definitely feels like it was made to be like, the main takeaway from the game. i can imagine the handful of people that actually liked madarame we're piiisssssed about the last route

I think a lot of the game definitely does rely on how you feel about Towa, I personally loved him so slow damage became my favorite VN of all time (not just BL) but I get why he might be irritating to a lot of people.
>lkyt is much better. i do wish mc was a uke though.
Ok now I’m actually surprised, I haven’t played lkyt yet but I 100% thought the protagonist was an uke.

No. 298470

Well, when I say don't like, I didn't dislike them aside from Patient S Remedy where I wasn't even able to finish even half of it and I got to a bad end. UC was entertaining for a while though it got super…abstract in a way that I found hard to follow–I preferred how Hashishime's weirdness was a slow burn. Also I hated the gender stuff in the 2nd route even though I adore Shiro.
I didn't like the 1st couple at all. Plus, having the couples pre-ordained was probably made it less exciting to me. It's great for people that want to experience an epic, experimental, fixed story, you're right, but wasn't for me. OH! The sex was also all awkward quickies to me and each time I was left confused and weirdly unfulfilled. Maybe I'd have a more favorable opinion of it if I played the 3rd route/couple?
>>298459
Based fellow Rei enjoyer. I wished his route was better but he's the only character besides Eiji I really liked and at least he has a lot of sweet moments.

No. 298472

>>298468
The 3rd route clears up a lot of the story (though it still has a level of confusion to it, which is why I’m thinking of doing a reread).
I actually really liked the first couple, it was nice to have two guys start the VN already dating since that’s so rare in BLVNs, didn’t care for the second one at all not only for the gender stuff but that they never really go into how fucked up it is that Isshiki raped Shirou? They just sort of phrase it as ‘oh this is why Shirou is homophobic’ and just have him get over that he was raped. isshiki in general didn’t have much going on with him to make him likable as a person or love interest to me.
Although I like ULTRAC I think it would have greatly benefited from being longer and maybe even just keeping it to two couples instead of three (once you play the last route you realize that Isshiki x Shirou really don’t matter in the grand scheme and are basically filler characters).

lots of Slow Damage opinions, so I'd thought I'd share mine.

The game is mid at the very best for me, which is a real shame, because I've loved every other N+C title out there. It's not that I hate Towa, I just find him very uninspiring. I've played 3 routes and started the last route around a month ago, and just haven't gotten round to finishing the game (mainly bc Zelda has been distracting me). I see ppl across reddit/twitter/Tumblr say the last route is the best and all, but I feel like 0 motivation to actually finish it, which is super weird for me bc I always fixate on BL games when I start one and don't do much else entertainment-wise if I'm playing one.

I thought Murase was okay. I liked Rei, but didn't like the direction his route went in. Thought Madarame's route was hot garbage. Fujieda's route seems okay so far. Haven't done enough to have an opinion.

what do you girls think? Should I push through, or drop the game and start Lykt? I think I'll like it because I really liked No Thank You, so if its the same vibes, I'd be having more of a fun time there.(lolcow.farm/info)

Honestly, I would say to just drop it. Fujieda’s route is the best one only because it has relevant plot, but imo it wasn’t that much more interesting and if you played the rest it’s pretty easy to predict what’s going on. I also just found Fujieda to be super boring and the whole ending with him and Towa together felt kinda forced.

I still like Slow Damage, I don’t have incredibly high expectations for BLVNs just by the nature of the thing, but for all the hype I saw about Fujieda it seemed kinda lame in the end. The prostate hitting sex scene was A+ though

nta but I almost forgot about NTY. I don't find it hot at all even if everything is done technically very well and it's probably perfect for people with a taste for fucked up stuff in a more sterile, fruity aesthetic. None of the characters are my type. It has such a chaotic vibe with the main character being a very agentic mega-perv and from what I read it wasn't boring, it's just clearly written by a man.

Fujosperg idea of the day: Making a very heterosexual, very sexist, very proud/arrogant but still hot anime scrote raped slowly into becoming a stupid gay sex toy who only feels complete when he’s taking dick from other men.

I think a lot of it just comes from ‘not like other fujos’, those types who brag about only being into bara as if it somehow makes them superior and isn’t just a personal preference like everyone else has (even more annoying though if they don’t actually like it and just want to be contrarian)
The strange thing is that the no thank you characters were drawn by a woman, but she also did the art for euphoria and maggot baits so I think that speaks for itself.
But yeah I’ll take flowery over realistic looking moids.

There's no "accusing" of self inserting, they actually do that.

It's not a documentary. It's like asking with Orwell wrote about a farm and animals to make a point about human politics when pigs and cows aren't the same as humans, it's an allegory girl. I personally would rather watch the news than see some fictional teenage girls go through all that shit just for the sake of being informative, at the end of the day the manga is supposed to be entertaining as well. And imagine unsuspecting fujoshi who just grab this book at the closest Animate to see hot guys making out and reading this instead.

Yeah idk, imo men can suffer without taking on real-life women’s problems.

why doesn't it? I don't see the problem. the use of male characters as talking pieces only gives it a broader appeal to women, some of whom may not be interested in a normal feminist doomer manga men would probably make fucked up porn of. I think the animal farm analogy is somewhat fitting.

It quite literally is, in this case. You can read my other posts, I’m not criticizing people who enjoy omegaverse as a fetishism thing (although I can’t really get into it, I don’t find mpreg hot). I’m criticizing people who say reading feminist critique is “boring” when it’s about women and only find it engaging when it’s men telling the story. If you just care about the sex why do you need the politics in the first place?
>inb4 It’s not that deep!!!
The original post I responded to was saying they didn’t understand why more people didn’t enjoy ABO explicitly for the feminist ideology, all I’m saying is that if I want to read feminist critique I’m going to read it in stories about women. I read BL to see men be pathetic and get fucked

No. 300274

>>300247
Similar to what the other nonas said, it makes it easier to digest because it's not as real while still drawing from real experience. Like how watching a documentary about one thing can be depressing but reading a fictionalized version lets you see it from different angles with a degree of separation because no one is actually getting hurt. Reading a history book vs reading Game of Thrones. I'm not averse to media with women (I probably have the largest amount of crossover with the gl/yuri threads here than anyone else in this thread) but reading media centering women and female only experiences will always, without fail, strike closer to home for me and brings up deeper and more complicated emotions. BL, while it does bring out strong emotions, has that degree of separation because I'm not a gay male and neither is the author (usually). Omegaverse is a way to channel the author's commentary and experiences while still letting both of us have that degree of separation. Maybe it is just that the author has a pregnancy fetish, but they also don't like seeing women being fetishistically submissive to men; why not just use a fictionalized version with what they are comfortable seeing? Of course, no one is obligated to like it, and to many authors it is just a fetish piece, but my favorite works of the genre always delve into the deeper aspects of the worldbuilding and the unique views of each author.

>>300190
Admittedly, most of my all time favs with the most complex commentary are fanfics and I don't want to expose my niche fandoms, so I'll list the handful of manga I like. Not all of these focus on feminist parallels but rather have interesting worldbuilding, in my personal opinion.

I guess I just will never see the appeal of a story that is basically “poor man, oh woe is man, society has hurt the man”.

Honestly… no. The plot is convoluted, and all the characters (aside from Mika and some of the vampires I guess) act really fucking stupid. It's actually annoying to read if you're trying to take the story seriously. It's good at the start (by good I mean the Mikayuu moments and tension), then it becomes an utter clusterfuck in the middle, and only in the recent chapters (I'm talking like the latest 20 chapters) does Mikayuu actually develop. The only reason I still check in on this manga once in a while is because I used to be obsessed with Mikayuu back in middle school kek.

But if you are really here just for Mikayuu moments, yes Mika is absolutely obsessed with Yuu and is the only character who doesn't get any flack from the fandom. His actions and goals make sense in terms of what we know of him (everything he does is for Yuu's sake). Meanwhile, you'll find yourself scratching your head trying to understand the other characters' motivations because it keeps flip flopping and doing plot twists and turns.

Yuu is just… infuriating. But in the later chapters I think I've actually come to find him more tolerable like the other nona said. It was mostly Mika pining after Yuu and throwing everything away for Yuu's sake, but now Yuu is doing the same in return for Mika and choosing him over the world. I was actually shocked the manga decided to go this route, but it feels rewarding to finally see Yuu pining obsessively for Mika (to an unhealthy level). The sad thing is, this ship could actually be really great if only the whole vampire-seraph plot didn't drag it down so heavily.

As the other anon said, the plot of the story is convoluted and shonen-tier with a bunch of lame twists and gotcha moments. The only good characters are Mika, the villain and some other secondary vampires. It's gotten better in the latest chapters where Yuu reciprocates Mika a bit but during the whole story he's your typical dumb shonen protagonist yelling friendship and vengeance while Mika is the more serious and better written counterpart. I know it's good to dream but I don't think they'll be a canon couple by the end, most likely it'll turn out that they're parts of the same being reincarnated separately and more akin to brothers/twins/literally a split person.

I’m interested in checking out date fate extra when the remake comes out in English (hopefully that’ll happen…) despite thinking the original VN (which I did read) was pretty shitty.
With that being said though I’m surprised Gilgamesh usually bottoms for the male protagonist though he gets shipped with the female one way more, kinda makes me wonder if fate is a franchise more waifufags and yumejos are into over fujos?
Only real gay ships I know of is the mentioned male protag x Gil (less popular than the female counterpart), Lancer and Archer (I don’t get it honestly, they don’t really have any chemistry) and Waver x Iskandar (haven’t seen fate zero, just seen a lot of small hamster big banana fanart for them).

Is there any ships I missed?

Enkidu/Gil, Kirei/Gil, Arjuna/Karna, and Sherlock/Moriarty are also all big ones. Enkidu/Gil is probably the Gil ship I see modt frequently nowadays (and I'd consider it the most canonical), although Kirei/Gil used to be the big one.
Also, almost missed Romani/Merlin, which is also pretty popular. I see quite a bit of shipping between the Knights of the Round Table, too.
Honestly, I haven't seen much ship art of male Hakuno/Gilgamesh. But if you see more of female Hakuno in general, it's because she's just pretty popular. The player character x Gilgamesh ship that I see most often has to be Gudao/Casgil, though.

All I know about Enkidu is that he’s clay that probably doesn’t have a dick, barely counts as BL if I’m being honest.
I actually did see a lot of the male FGO protagonist with Gil (more than with the female one) and he was bottoming in most of it despite them both being silent protagonists? Kinda makes me curious why they’re basically reversed. I guess for extra you could make the argument it’s because the female protag is a lot cuter and better designed than the male one, but I think the girl is still cuter in FGO too….

I'd really recommend reading Fate/strange Fake to Gil fans, by the way. It was written by the Durarara and Baccano writer, Narita Ryohgo, and he really went full in on Gilgamesh and Enkidu as soulmates.

Nah, Enkidu/Gil usually gets played as either a) normal BL where they both of dicks or b) Enkidu still has a dick but they (fanartists and fanfic writers) use the clay aspect to do some borderline teratophilia shit with it.
Picrel is Moriarty and Sherlock, Moriarty is the old guy.
Now that I'm thinking about old man BL in Fate, Mozart/Salieri is also potently gay stuff. The dudes are ugly as sin in the actual games, but fanartists go wild with their imaginations. I'll include art in a reply.

I'd recommend looking them up. The discrepancy between their in-game appearances and the fanart they get is genuinely delusional but I kind of love it. Makes sense though because the tortured BL they have going on narratively is some really good shit.
Re: The Gilgamesh stuff, I'm not really sure why top/bottom dynamics work out that way. I just know that in the case of Casgil, I mostly see him bottom because it's one of Gil's "tamest" (tame by his standards, I guess) iterations. He bottoms a lot (~75% of the time) with Kirei and Enkidu too so I think it might be a situation where fans just like seeing him put in his place by anybody who can actually do it.

>All I know about Enkidu is that he’s clay that probably doesn’t have a dick, barely counts as BL if I’m being honest.
NTA but this is literally the most ridiculous "totally no homo" cope scrote fans desperately hold on to because they can't accept their chad bro Gilgamesh being gay and the "actually Enkidu uses they/them pronouns" crap only exists in the English localization of Fate/Grand order, not in any of the original scripts. According to the original legend of Gilgamesh he and Enkidu were both men and in Strange Fake Enkidu is described to have a male body but a beautiful, feminine face because he copied it out of appreciation from a shrine maiden who saved his life in the past iirc.

And don't forget that the entire reason why Enkidu died in the past was because Ishtar was so fucking jealous over Gilgamesh rather choosing him and repeatedly rejecting her that she wanted to kill the competition. Their relationship is spelled out so many times and Gilgamesh never shows any signs of genuine interest in women since the obsession he had with Saber was more akin to seeing a shiny new toy too.

i had a dream about a BL visual novel but with a big roster of romanceable boys w really pretty character art, & it made me realise that otome games/dating sims tend to have a wider variety of character archetypes and designs?

No. 301086

>>301083
Maybe it's because with otome series, they can get away with the MC not having a strong personality so it's easier to add in a lot of characters without having to think too hard about the dynamic between the MC and the love interest. In BL, I feel like if the main character isn't interesting enough or otherwise has a strong personality, it's not as engaging to watch the relationships from the sidelines. BL games don't ever really aim for "self-insert" or silent protags like otome can, so each relationship needs to be more carefully considered to make it convincing, maybe leading to less options in the end. That said, I also kinda want to see more series like that, Nu:Ca will get there eventually if they keep adding new guys.

No. 301097

i agree with you there. i was even thinking about nu:ca when i was typing my original post– i havent played it but it popped up in my mind as a bl game with potentially a bit more variety in characters.
n+c vns over their various iterations have had some really fun LIs – clear from dmmd, that iguana guy from sweet pool, etc etc. but yes the routes are usually pretty limited in their games. dmmd kind of stands out to me as one of their only games with decent route variety (slow damage didnt have much variety imo, granted i only enjoyed 2 routes out of 4 lol)
also i'm an artfag and sometimes i get the urge to draw up some pretty boy character designs for an imaginary BL or otome type game, just so i can indulge myself a little

NTA but that anon pretty clearly meant that the fact that you can't even find any female bara artists is proof of how bara is a very male-specific subject matter and mostly enjoyed by a male demography. I'm sure there are women who have bara as their niche and actually enjoy it instead of just as a "maybe I'll be seen as a true and honest gay man if I pretend to like this" thing but chances still are high for a barafag to be male.

But good god being a furry or into furries should be a bannable offense. Anyone who likes bara furry art and is degenerate enough to admit it should get their Lolcow access revoked immediately, I'm starting to tinfoil that the banning of shota made the male lurkers go to their next signature fetish.

This. Bara and geicomi refer to malexmale stuff made for gay men, which often features all sorts of fetishes (lots of cum, sweaty big exaggerated muscles, big and hyper-detailed genitals, A LOT of body hair, fat men, pot bellies, old balding men, they often feature weirdly realistic muscly kids). Not every story with muscular males is Bara. Now I can't name them all off the top of my head but there are plenty of works with big (but normal-looking) muscular men who are obviously aimed at women and most likely made by women. Some works from CTK and Asada Nemui come to mind. There's ppatta too which is borderline imo but it's still enjoyable for women.

You're right, I probably should've said yaoi with muscular men, but I really like the typical bara art style. Typical yaoi and bl bodies don't get close enough to the style for me. Everytime they do they have this really strange obsession with drawing their pecs and nippers incredibly exaggerated to a point it's silly.

if you're looking for deep BL featuring obese sasquatches you won't find it because it's a fetish genre for real gay men. one with about as much appeal to normal fujos as futa, not even normal traps. if it's out there it's made by a ftm doing a terrible job of hiding her female socialization.

if it's porn you're looking for, head over to 4chan's /y/ cuz again bara has as much appeal to normal fujos as futa. a bunch of us are already fed up with having our spaces infiltrated by eye assaulting bara furry art. if you want to enjoy coomer moid porn you have to learn to enjoy being around coomer moids. have some courteousy.

Do you even actually like bara? If you’re looking for stuff like Sakira’s art, I wouldn’t even consider that bara/geicomi. If you’re just looking for muscular bishounen you should really specify it, there’s plenty to rec.

that was a retard moment; I had been reading through a few other studios and only had glanced at NC. I realized the mistake after posting. it was a dumb point, the nonny I replied to worded it way better. I just have known a few not ftm women that did draw very muscular men and it's weird seeing the "it's impossible for a woman to like this stuff" being repeated here. however it shouldn't be posted itt, let alone without being spoilered anyway. I'd suggest a containment thread for more unconventional gay stuff like bara and furries but people would probably dislike the idea.

Not seeking furshit, I'm not the furry anon. Yes, I like bara, but stuff like Sakira's style is fine too. Just anything with muscular people, not really a fan of the same-face same-body type yaoi.

There are women who draw muscular man yaoi, they're just not the most common kind of BL artist so you have to dig a little deeper to find them. Once you start to come across a few of them, though, it'll get much easier to find the rest.
But for fuck's sake, I'm so sick of people mixing up "bara" and "muscular". Bara is not a synonym for that, and it doesn't even have to involve muscular men (the second most common body type in bara is obese). Fuck retards on social media who started to use that specific term to refer to muscular guys in general. Probably the main culprit was the "bara tiddies" meme.

VNs don’t really feel like something only hardcore otaku read to me, is that really how they’re viewed in the market?

No. 302427

>>302422
I think most VNs are seen as otaku stuff by default while manga in general are normal (depending on the story of course). I don't know if BLVNs really compete with BLCDs, on one hand most BL drama CDs are adaptations of successful manga while VNs tend to be original work, on the other CDs are expensive and targeting girls who already read the original manga so at that point you can assume the audience for VNs and CDs are the same as long as it's BL. My guess is that there are plenty of BLCDs because it's cheaper than making an anime, they can make a full adaptation of one volume with one CD, and in Japan people still buy a shit ton of physical copies of anything way more than in the West so you can bait fujoshi by adding some merchs with the CDs like acrylic keychains or charms.

No. 302454

>>302422
I always viewed VNs in general as the most otaku-ish of otaku media - because the format of VNs today started almost exclusively as PC eroge in the 90's, keeping in mind that few people in the 90's had personal computers at home and the ones that did were often huge nerds or tech autists. Manga and anime in comparison are super accessible, BLCDs would be another level of needing something to play the CD and some headphones, while VNs would either need a full computer setup or a gaming console and also like 50+ hours to read and click through the story. PCs becoming more commonplace and VNs getting adapted into portable handhelds changed this and made them way more accessible, but I still personally think of VNs as being very niche and nerdy.

I saw the ryona tag on DLsite which seemed interesting… if you’ve played it i’d love to hear your opinion on it!!

i haven't heard of it but just looked it up, i might try playing it honestly. looks like a nice enough game. i basically just looked up nie no machi and read through the first review that comes up on google, i didn't read through the spoiler section but presumably she goes into depth about the ryona you mentioned so it might be worth checking out some reviews if you're interested

NTA but Hadaka Shitsuji isn't really an archetypal BL visual novel in my opinion, it's more in the geikomi genre since it's made by a man and is more reminiscent of the really hardcore gay porn comics than what you find in Boys Love. BL can be extreme and graphic but it has a way different vibe from what male writers cough up because it's directed by he female gaze. Most VN studios are ran by men because they dominate the video game market to begin with, but BL is first and foremost a female genre. A few visual novels penned by men doesn't change that fact at all.

No. 303510

>>303447
hadaka is confusing bc the scrote behind it decided to sprinkle in female sex options, but also every single hardcore kink you can think up with all the male characters. in the same vein, the game sprinkles in fujo moments e.g a lot of the 'bad' route ends which amount to tomoaki living happily ever after with the LI, but its clearly not written for fujos either unless they're particularly fucked in the head and like disgusting shit yaoimaster comes to mind kek. even then the game actively makes fun of you for wanting anything actually sweet or romantic.
so it's like this weird no man's land between geikomi, BL and your average hardcore eroge

No. 303527

>>303393
I’m always a sucker for a teenager being a bottom to someone older than them and then later in life they reunite and the younger one ends up topping. The role reversal/shift in power dynamic is too good.
I also just like younger/cuter characters topping older men too, in general.

yep. i remember being confused at the weirdly sexualised way her sprite was drawn when i first saw her at the beginning of the game (considering its meant to be a BL game) – lo and behold you can have threesomes with her and all the LIs, and iirc she even has her own route too (bad end i think, to be fair, like most of the ends are)
i think youre correct in calling it a bishoujo nukige lol, i dont think such a blatantly coomer game should be lumped it with other popular BL games & yet people are quick to cite it when recommending BL games to others so idk

her official response is that it's not realistic to have so many gay characters in the same story
but the actual truth is that mxtx tends to be hyperfocused on one couple and is afraid of the "second couple is more popular than the first one" phenomen which happens to a lot of BL series. in her first novel scum villain there is another canon couple besides bingqiu and a character who has a one-sided crush on the protag. what happened is that people were discussing a lot the other pairings and she didn't like it. she hates it when people ignore her main couple so since then she wrote her stories in such a way where a love triangle is impossible (so no more liu qinqge pining) and there could be no popularity competiton with the 2nd couple. however because she's a fujo she still has a tendency to write strong male-male bonds such as the pairing you posted, beefleaf and many others, she just doesn't make them canon or focus too much on them to take away the attention from her main leads

I actually just finished reading the novels and watching the live action version in the past month and became yet another victim of falling in love with these two so I'll explain it with my current brainrot lol.

I think they are both great characters individually, they both have strong personalities both by nature and by being products of their environment, and when you mix them together it's satisfying and beautiful to see how they either clash or are alike. They also have a lot of tropes that are popular that apply to them: childhood enemies(?) to friends to lovers, repressed stuck-up guy falling for the bad boy, "even if the world turns against you, I never will" type beat, also both raising a kid and acting like dads together. Their romance is both pure yet very passionate and is sexual without it being the sole purpose of the series, making it easy for all kinds of fujos to enjoy.

Also, the actual plot and story of the series is really engaging. Even with some weak points, the series has a lot of things to like. The characters and scenarios feel very mythological in how they span and how poetically some things play out. Even though it is a recent story, it has a very classic feel. Wei Wuxian in particular feels like a character out of an old tragedy, making him really stick with you after the series is over. (I am very new to this particular genre of chinese cultivation fantasy though, so I have no idea how it compares to other works but also I don't really care lmao.)

Honestly I came into MDZS skeptical and almost wanting to hate it because I knew some really annoying fans back when it first blew up that turned me away from it, yet once I finished it I truly felt like it deserved the hype. It's also kind of amazing to think about how the author planned and wrote all 5 novels in like, less than two years while also going to college.

>>303719
I can understand why she would shy away from making another possible love triangle – it's like when shippers hate seeing their favs with someone else but now people are doing it with her own characters LMAO. I understand her mentality, especially coming from the era of Junjou Romantica where every man on screen was gay and fucking everyone else, but I found it weird that in interviews she acts like the other ships she hints at in the books are totes straight guys. Doesn't stop me from enjoying the ships, but is just so different to so many other authors in the genre who will either play into it or like to keep it ambiguous.

>the normie protagonist annoys me, which sucks because he's extremely involved in every single scene
>is funny sometime and doesn't take itself too seriously. The whole harem goes on an adventure together to save the world
>not really great for people that get super into one character imo; each one gets one chapter and their arc probably never goes anywhere
>I actually like the minmaxxing/grinding gameplay…

honestly though other anon is right, check out interview w a vampire and ann rice's stuff for the actual gay vampire content lmao dracula is frankly described as ugly asf in the books so i don't blame you for skipping him

There might be some obvious ones, not sure how much of a reader nonnie is, but Picture of Dorian Gray, Brideshead Revisited, A Separate Peace, Maurice, Death in Venice, On the Road, and the History of Henry Esmond all come to mind as classics with surprising amounts of subtext or just general wistful yearning for pretty boys

The Mr. Ripley books are all incredibly gay but kind of vary in quality. I also really liked The Secret History and The Goldfinch for more contemporary books. A lot of Dostoevsky’s books are kinda weirdly gay too (Brothers Karamazov always felt like this to me but I might just be making it up in my head). If you like fantasy The Silmarillion gets a little gay

Lol no, I read whatever I find and this is the conclusion I came to after reading bl for years.

I've noticed that the character design for ukes is not created to be appealing to women instead its created to be relatable.

Why are you mad over a opinion or are you mad bcus it's true?

No. 306228

Also for anyone thinks this is a attack on yaoi….it's not because the same thing happens in other media too especially the lgbt one.

One of the Characters in Yuri and girls love stories also get self insert for whatever gross incel male wants to pretend he is her.
It's very obvious who the self insert in girls love Mangas is too

And same thing in yaoi too there is self insertion of the readers. This is normal and it's what happens when straight people write gay fetish stories for straight people to consume.
That's why the uke behaves and gets treated like a pseudo-female in yaoi stories. And that's why in girls love stories there is always that one hulking tall "girl" who behaves like a neckbard.

You're just stupid then. BL nowadays has all sort of artstyles and it's rare to find "ugly bug eyed aliens" now. If anything, the standard bl art style looks something like Given.

to be very honest the majority of bl (in recent times) is just two dudes. it's rare to see trap ukes or even androgynous ukes, or even…pretty bishonen. i say this while understanding "just two dudes" is common because of translator preferences. i bet there's a lot more variance in jp bl circles…

Maybe if you're into a specific niche. You can see what the most popular stuff series are in places like pixiv comic and chil chil rankings, and all the characters just look like two dudes imo. I think there's less bishonen nowadays.

What the hell, they're localizing a 17 year old game? I already played it with Visual Novel Reader and my basic Japanese, thinking it would never receive an English patch kek.
Interesting piece of trivia, it seems so have drawn inspiration from Gakuen Sodom, a game by PIL (PIL/SLASH's sister company that focuses on galge eroge). Both are about a violent criminal taking a high school classroom hostage and making them do sexually sadistic and humiliating acts. I don't know what the galge is like obviously, I just read the summary on VNDB, but despite being short and mostly about everyone being forced to fuck each other at gunpoint, the plot in Masquerade was resolved nicely imo. And yes, it is hilarious as fuck, some of the endings are straight up baffling. There are several hot scenes, and there's also some romance between the protagonist and two other guys.

Damn now I’m really curious and might do his route first when the games comes out just because of that, ironically though rape routes are usually my least favorite with the exception of Keisuke, who I think got the best route in TNC by far.

NOTE: beware, these are minor spoilers for Paradise. Skip if you wanna go in fresh.
Matsuda is weird because his route imo isn't really done well, except - take this with a grain of salt I've never been crept on irl - it has a very realistic feeling to it that's very rare in BLVNs…it also lasts for a very long time instead of culminating in one sadistic scene or something. Very controlling, possessive, demanding, cruel. He feels like an actual domestic abuser. His VA also went extremely hard with the creepiness. You might like it if you like being uncomfortable, kek. I do hear that there is a spinoff that "fixes" him and I'm not really sure what it entails. I think I kind of like Keisuke more because his yandereness makes him sufficiently unrealistic for me to enjoy his route.
Anyway, I think by the end Mitsugi is the only guy I like in Paradise. He's kind of spicy and sadistic but also pretty wholesome too.

Out of all the gay ships that never became canon, Penguin/Riddler from Gotham hurts me the most, because unlike every other gay ship, this one actually had a chance of happening. Both actors playing them actually fit the sexuality. Penguin's actor(Robin Lord Taylor) was gay and Riddler's actor(Cory Michael Smith) was bisexual, and they had no problem with people shipping the characters and even having a romance. (Although Penguin's actor did have an issue with people shipping him IRL when he already had a boyfriend, which I can admit is a fair objection) But even then, it could have totally worked. The fans wanted it and had no issue with it, the actors wanted it, but instead, we get two seasons dedicated to bisexual dominatrixes (the writers obvious fetish) and a focus on a worse version of Harley Quinn.

Sage for OT and I'm not even a fujo, but you described the situation perfectly. Literally, more then half of the female villains in Gotham was almost always a 90 pound, conventionally attractive lesbian or bisexual woman in BDSM gear. Even the female characters who "hated" men did so in a fetish femdom way and would end up sleeping with men half the time, what's weird though is the fact most of these episodes with bisexual dominatrixes were written by a gay male writer.(Charlie Huston)

It really is an issue of having too much variety kek. I have a folder on another laptop filled with pre 2019 bl that I saved but never read.

Can’t agree here either, SD is honestly my favorite visual novel in general (not just BL)
>they have so little chemistry that genuinely i thought their awkward fumbling was part of the main plot….
I guess it just kinda depends on what tropes you’re into, I personally love the ‘grooming your father figure type character into being your lover’ and the whole route felt like an improved version of Motomi’s route in TNC, which did to me feel really forced and out of no where.
>also helps that he's in the same game as madarame who i hate w every fibre of my being
I honestly ended up liking Madarame! He’s a shit head and his route probably has the least strong writing, but chemistry wise he and Towa had the best chemistry to me, helps that they were basically former fuck buddies and Towa’s masochism comes out best with him. Usually I don’t like the rape route (don’t like characters like Mink or Hanazawa at all, Shiki is kind of cringy but funny though) but I think Madarame gets a free pass simply because Towa actually likes getting abused.

when did japanese fujos became the authority on shipping? Slash shipping has been big in western fandom for a long time even before japanese influence. Fujo, yaoi and BL are japanese terms that has been adapted by english fandoms but women still had ways to discuss ships between two men and homoerotic content before those terms got popular. Idc if women are into 3DPD but the holy land of nippon shouldn't dictate your opinion

Because we're in a thread called /fujo/ using a term from Japan, so obviously the actual use of it in Japan is worth considering? The point obviously wasn't that they are an authority on shipping.
Someone coming into a thread called /fujo/ with no explicit rules against 3DPD in the OP and saying 'I can 3DPD ship here because fujo is a Japanese term that, in Japan, includes 3DPD shipping and there's no explicit rules against it' is perfectly reasonable.

Female couples are much more common because scrotes don't find them threatening and thus aren't as offensive, and can easily be written off as just two best friends being close with each other.

To me, their relationship is Gentaro making up fake things to trick Dice with for entertainment 50% of the time, 40% of the time Dice being an unruly and unlucky sugarbaby that needs to get bailed out of absurd and comedic trouble, and 10% Dice being really, really sincere about things that catch Gentaro off guard.

Women love to add gay men to their works and men love to add lesbians to their work because both are uncomfortable with gay people of the same sex in media. Like more sitcom type shit will have gay men like with Modern Family rather than lesbians.

I also don't care about mpreg unless it gets into the gory details, it really only exists for the sake of including baby daddy drama or family fluff.

Don't like them. Actual ABO stuff seems to be easy to avoid and it's very rare in the fandoms I was in so I am pretty neutral since I don't see it unless I search for it.
Something related to preg that annoys me are family/kid AUs since that shit is incredibly popular and people use it to shill their shitty OC children everywhere. So a part of the art tags of your fandom is just filled with badly designed chibis and everybody that does it also turns cool gay dudes into ships that might as well be het crap written by some mormon or something. One of the reasons for why I like m/m is because it explicitly avoids all that and because it's just giving me two cool badass dudes being weak for each other and ruling/punching/going on adventures otherwise.
I think what also annoys me about this is that it shows how a lot of fujos are genuinely incapable of imagining a romance without children and marriage and probably not without classic gender roles either.

ABO is fine so long as it's relegated to being the flimsy pretext as to why chara A and chara B need to fuck right this very second, but as soon as omega oppression comes into play I'm out. Reading that kind of ABO makes me feel like reading torture porn het, since the bottom is literally a woman in most respects(referred to as a wife/mother, is a victim of misogyny, etc). Detailed descriptions of dripping assvagina cloacas, ovulating boyvaries and man-uteri also skeeve me terribly kek, just leave the attempts to explain their biology out of it and let them fuck

Controversial opinion but mpreg where there's somehow a fetus developing in a male body when it shouldn't(whether it be through magic, technology, etc) is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's kind of a body horror thing, which imo is a great vehicle for hurt/comfort with the top getting to be more protective towards the bottom.

Oh definitely. It's the speds from the antifujo thread looking for shit to take out of context so they can claim that all of us like ABO, which is ostensibly straight, so why can't we just enjoy straight shit like the perfect little vanilla trads they want us to be. Retardation.

It's one of many reasons I fucking despise ABO, personally. It's gross, it's cringe, it's based on nonsense wold science, and what the hell is the point of writing a story about two men fucking if you're going to make it basically straight by adding the ABO and mpreg crap. I've tried reading some of the "less cringe" ABO stuff and it still repulsed me. It reads like it's written by people who've never had sex in their lives, or even from a planet where sex happens.

I "get" ABO and its appeal because as women we've been made to think that the ultimate proof of love, the "two becoming one" experience is having a child and being two men you can't "perfect" their romance, so I don't see it as necessarily straight thoroughly but definitely a representation of the heterosexual endgame. The added animalistic nestbuilding and such crosses over to weirdly detailed fetish territory though and the alphas dominating omegas is definitely a BDSM thing.

That said the way they try to use omegaverse as a self-declared gotcha of how we actually are only into straight relationships but just don't realize it perplexes me. What kind of a person is so obsessed with fujos enjoying a relationship featuring two men that they first accuse them of self-insertion into the bottom despite the effeminate girly uke being a near dead trope and ultimately claim that all fujos are into ABO (despite most of us actively disliking it even in this thread, at least the pregnancy aspect) and thus are just NLOG aidentrannies who hate women and want to carry Chad's child, and should instead write stories of women being forcibly impregnated.

The only thing that annoys me about ABO is how so many fics nowadays, if they're tagged ABO, seem to be just a subtler form of FTMxM shit. Even if there's no instance of mpreg, the omega is written with female genitalia. I swear sometimes it's not even tagged so you stumble on it without warning. Granted it's almost always TIFs writing this crap but I do see why some people would believe ABO is just disguised het. TIFs just seem to gravitate toward this trope.

No. 308453

The issue is how much the lines of ABO are being blurred in bad faith. ABO is a whole ass alternative universe about alphas, betas and omegas being subgenders that define your reproductive system, with pheromones and heat suppressing and such, but mpreg predates it and has been around forever with different plot devices like ridiculous rectal wombs or weird pregnancy spells or as a body horror/humiliation fetish and so forth. FTM fiction is the most recent addition, and it's just straight out hetero sex. In the other two genres it's always two biological men, but with plots involving FTMs it's someone who is a born female, not a man with magical anatomy. This gets overlooked a lot and spergs do it intentionally, they pretend to not see the difference and repeat "but if you can get pregnant you're a woman so it's the same thing!" ad nauseum as if they were suddenly incapable of suspending disbelief with fantasy biology.

Christ that is so bleak, not just because it's homophobic, but because you're probably right that women have been so brainwashed into romanticizing heterosexual power imbalances and being defined by having/raising babies. Giving birth and raising children fucking sucks. Being in a relationship with a scrote sucks 90% of the time when you're a woman. If you're still projecting that garbage into fantasies and fiction, you haven't caught on to those problems and are still buying into the myth that those things are necessary for "happily ever after."

I never understood this ship. I love the look of them like you said, and they have really good fanart, but I just can't imagine them falling for each other.

In most enemies-to-lovers ships, there's at least some mutual degree of intensity in their feelings toward each other, but I don't see that in Kurokura.

No they don't have different taste, I think it's just that they are more of them and they have more things to read and potentially adapt into anime or live action series. I think other things that are popular in this thread tend to also have anime adaptations if they're very well known, or they get all their volumes adapted into drama CDs or dramas. That also applies to shojo and josei manga which target the same demographic, for some reason they also are more likely to get live action adaptations compared to animated adaptations.

NTA but I'm not a huge Kawoshin person but I appreciate it for being one a portrayal of gay relationship in a series that is otherwise notorious for its "best girl" debate, especially seeing how it was made in the 90's when it was even more rare than it is now. Also agree with >>308639 , for most people their appeal isn't about the relationship "going somewhere" but the curious affection non-human Kaworu has for Shinji. And moids hate it so that's a bonus.

admittedly it's funny seeing him as the only character i put in S rank, but even though lamento is by far my least favourite n+c game, verg just has this 'kyaa' factor for me that i never really got w any of other character. i wish i could explain it better. i love the vibes he gives off & i wish his ending was better tbh. that's what elevates him from A to S rank imo: all the characters i put in A are ones i thoroughly enjoy, but verg is just… idk man i feel so weirdly attached to him, im even tempted to say he's got husbando potential

side note but if the shaman character from lamento were on this chart id have put him in S or A rank too. for such a boring vn, lamento has so many good side characters…

it's been so long since i played dmmd, i just remember not feeling much towards ren except mild amusement at the fact that aobas dog got an actual route kek

In the replies some people said it's because a bunch of parties are involved and MAPPA received the least money out of all of them. I don't know how that works exactly, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't expect the anime to be a massive success so they didn't bother negotiating for higher profits. Regardless, I'd like to know if the movie is still happening or not. My guess is that we'll never get a movie because their current series are bigger cashcows just because they're adaptations with established fanbases. RIP Yuri on ice.

My guess is that they had to beg money from a ton of different production parties to fund the series allowing them to pocket all the profits from their shares, and would do so in the future for anything released under the Yuri on Ice title so even if they crowdfunded it the studio would refuse to let them work on it since they could be creating new properties fully under their control. Mappa wasn't a very successful studio pre-YoI and making a life story about gay ice skaters was a huge gamble for them (which paid off and Mappa unironically owes fujos their current status), they're also notorious for underpaying their animators and working them to death in multiple productions at the same time.

i think rai and bardos routes are the most relevant, and theyre both related to eachother so if you finish rais route you might as well do bardos too imho (in each route you get details about both the characters and their past so you learn something new each time.) however you can skip asato and not miss out on much, poor guys pretty much irrelevant to the main plot

honestly i feel like im the worst anon to ask bc ive been vocally critical of lamento in a few of these threads kek, its really not myt favourite.
asatos route is unique from the others in the sense that the storys different i guess? so you find out about asato and his past in the village he came from, and his connection with kaltz. im assuming youre the same anon who originally ragequit bc of kaltz not having an ending ,so for you its defo worth playing asatos route so that you can see more of kaltz (i like him a lot too tbf.) asato's ending also feels quite tonally different to the other two imo.
for me personally, asatos route was the first one i did and it was a big let-down and basically ruined my enjoyment of the game lmfao but ymmv, loads of people love lamento and despite my criticisms i wouldnt say asatos route is not worth playing, just depends entirely on how you feel about the characters.

One thing that might make 3D animation easier than 2D is the fact that once you make a model/scene/object, you don't have to remake it, no matter how many times you use it. With 2D animation, a lot of times artist have to redraw characters for every different scene to account for different angles, perspectives, etc.. While it is harder to initially make those 3D models, once you have them, your set in that aspect. 3D animation has its own challenging aspects too, of course, but there's also a lot more software that can help you through those issues. I've worked in maya and rendered using arnold (3d animating software, somewhat similar to blender), and there's a lot of presets, tools, tutorials that can help you. If you're good at coding, you can even code your own animations (though this is mathematically challenging). I also love 2D animation, but if you asked me to publish an ocean scene with waves on the beach tonight, I would be making that scene in maya. Things like water, cloth animation and lighting are all taken care of by tools in these softwares.
3D is considered cheaper for this same reason, and it can feel un-personal to some viewers. I don't disagree with them, especially because some companies over recycle their models and motions to death. The only reason the original OP might consider 2D over 3d is stylistic choice, or lack of a 'beefy computer'. Rendering a 3D scene is a pain in the ass with lower end technology, but it's also not impossible.

Can't really blame you lol.
Anyway, it's mostly due to his background of being mentally retarded as a child due to his powers, being targeted by assassins at an incredibly young age, plus being willing to lose his morality and get into the "taboo" when it comes to the inuniverse stuff.
There was also an au spin off from the author where Otto loses himself to debt and becomes a dead body cleaner and Subaru ends up going completely yandere and becomes a terrorist.
There's also a different au spin off where Otto leaves forever and Subaru goes mad whenever he thinks about it, punching walls and stuff and another where Subaru goes mad and specifically targets Otto to kill because to him, he's the mvp of the group.

It's dumb but whatever. You know how the most popular pairings in Gintama are Gintoki/Hijikata and Gintoki/Takasugi?

Avoid places with fujos under 25 for one thing and stick to smaller fandoms or find yourself a small niche corner in a bigger one.

>>310401
We generally understand the fetishism of sexuality as bad because men who fetishize lesbians actually go out to harass, hurt, and assault lesbians in real life all the time. But going after men is too hard and male desires are somehow sacrosanct no matter how much harm it causes in real life. So fujos writing/drawing about idealized 2d romances in their own spaces get pestered instead. While the same group of people pestering fujos about social justice also typically advocate for males to further invade lesbian spaces. It's so bleak out here.

there are specific niche subreddits that are decent on reddit, but the problem is there isn't one cohesive group (/r/BLGames, /r/MM_RomanceBooks, /r/Yaoi, /r/Boyslove, etc.) The communities can also skew younger with a lot of zoomer lingo and screeching.

This, men into BL is an instant turnoff because it immediately makes me suspicious of their intentions.

The gay guys I knew irl who read BL were TRAs but would never, ever troon out. I wonder if they actually just support muh troon rights just because they still see the movement as being about mostly very girly gay men just wanting to marry their boyfriends and not gettig discriminated at work and when looking for a place to live. But on the other hand I've seen a few twitter accounts of people calling themselves fujoshi who read BL but they were very obviously MTF because they were retweeting shota art, trap porn art, etc. There are plenty of women who like shota but they usually don't like the same art styles and scenarios as men, it's obvious. Even among gay guys it's sometimes different. Like I was talking about Black Butler with a gay guy and he was like "When the first season came out and I was in high school I wished I were Ciel because Sebastian was my husbando" but the troons I'm talking about reacted to the new season announcement by sperging over how fuckable they found Ciel.

I tried being active on /y/ on 4chan for a while but I had to drop it because every discussion was eventually derailed to some unrelated shit no one cares about (and misogyny of course, faggots think yaoi is made for them). Like I remember browsing to see the latest BL mangas and some retard started talking about how rape for women feels good (according him, an autistic faggot). It's just full of moids and moids are unable to discuss anything without sounding braindead or talking about their personal political opinions no one gives a shit about, even in real life I just can't listen to a man talk for more than a couple of minutes.

Kek, the only moid I knew who was into BL was of the belief that women who enjoyed BL were automatically fetishists. When I called him out on it his excuse was that BL was about gay men for gay men, so he was allowed to read it. How the fuck do you hate women who read BL, completely ignoring the fact that it is a genre for and by women? He loved to complain about how he was being fetishized but I know damn well no one was fetishizing his ugly, twink ass. It honestly felt like such a cope. I think he just wanted a reason to hate (straight) women.

Deleted and re-posting to add that this dude would give dumb excuses for disliking it like "women were getting off to gay men being raped" and then would get off to those exact same stories…

This is unfortunately the typical logic seen in the modern LGBT community. It's so ridiculously anti-women. They'll ride on the coattails of women's progress and media and then ridiculous us in the process.

With that said, I really appreciate the few places like this that still exist. I wasn't an active participant of fujochan because it seemed a little dead when I first found it, but I might have to be if it goes back up. I hope we can have spaces like this just to ourselves for as long as possible.

Hey anons since these threads tend to be negative and shitting on other fujos i thought we should take a break from that and say something positive.


Like for example say something you like about Mangas, Manhwas and Manhuas. (I know there is going to be nippon-worshipping anons who are going to swear at me for daring to mention manhwas or manhuas)

I'll start:
Manga: brings back nostalgia for me, have really good stories when it comes to high-school settings. Good detail into characters hair and clothes.

Manhwa: Diversity, I love the diversity in art and storylines when it comes to Manhwas. Currently I've been mostly reading Manhwas and I'm enjoying it.

Manhua: easily digestible, humor is slightly better compared to Manga or Manhwas. Manhua platforms are much easier to use and you can read without paying.
I really love "private devil puppy" so I'm gonna start reading that manual again.

No. 311107

>>311098
Oh, I wanna say something positive. I love manga artists and doujinshi artists that make stories directed at women, especially mangaka like Yana Toboso. Even if some works aren't explicitly BL I still love the beautiful art and outfit designs. I also love doujinshi artists that create stories from my favorite series. Some of my favorite memories from high school was reading copious amounts of hetalia doujinshi, kek.

Although I don't read a lot of manhua, I wanna also say I love danmei books and a lot of the authors there. I've been getting into to 2ha and it's been really fun. I love that danmei authors also aren't afraid to add heavier plot elements. Although fluff is nice, I love all the different genres that danmei seems to cover, whether it's fantasy or mystery.

No. 311109

>>311098
Manga: classic always, i like what they do with European-y settings(fairytale romance, stuff like that)
Manhwa: is really funny sometimes, i like the different art style of it, i like how many office romances there are, and i feel like it's less weird about homosexuality(like those "gay but only for you"/"i don't like you as a man, i like you as a person!" tropes)
Manhua: never read any somehow, but i've read a Chinese comic about two boys with ever so slightly homoerotic relationship and a fujoshi that ships them(Nan Hao and Shang Feng) and i think it's really funny, and trad Chinese men's clothing is cool.

I've never read BL manhwa or manhua for some reason. I don't particularly care about them but I've noticed how popular they are online and how publishing companies in my countries and in other Western countries are publishing some of these series and heavily advertise them. I think that's cool for the fans, it shows how things have changed for the best when it comes to publishing BL because when I was in high school long ago we only had the most popular BL published and they were hard to find in physical stores even in big cities.

BL has a lot of outdated tropes and rules regarding how bottoms and tops should behave that everyone seems to follow, like the top must always be the one who chases the bottom. Yanderes also tend to be dominant and assertive, which is a classic top trait and it's easier to inflict pain on the receiver. But even in stories where bottoms are allowed to be more dominant and assertive, they still act very nonchalant about it, like it's just regular sex stuff for them and they're not very attached to the top. Like they could find dick somewhere else. On the other hand, a top is always super in love with the bottom and willing to do everything for them, that's why by following the BL rules is easy to write them as obsessed psycho yanderes
I think this is heavily influenced by heterosexual romance stories where the guy usually chases the woman and the woman represents this beautiful object of interest. They could just make it similar to moid gaze yandere media like mirai nikki but if we're being fair, if yuno was a man she would obviously act as a top towards that pathetic protagonist so we're not solving anything. I think some fujos are still narrow-minded and don't want to break the rules

Answering the first dude’s questions for fun

1. I don’t, I hate men and am very happy I was born female
2. Because Japan is a patriarchal society that values the group over the individual and gender roles are expected to be enforced in society
3. Because BL is for women not gay men and that dynamic appeals to the female gaze
4. It’s hot and I like reading stuff specifically for women in a space that’s usually pretty anti male, it making moids (straight and gay) seethe is a bonus
5. Only 13 year old K-pop fans do this because they’re 13, even then they only do it with their Korean celebrities because the average irl gay moid isn’t appealing to them at all

Any hopes for Yaoi on Ice aka "Dogs Red"?
It's Noda's new ice hockey manga, it finally started. It's sport centered, but it's made by the mangaka of Golden Kamuy so it might actually get some good m/m dynamics and probably even gay jokes and gay ship pandering if it's anything like GK. I am eager to read it, but fuck knows whether we will get any proper (and regular) translations and scans. Most translators seem to focus on isekai and ecchi nowadays and the rest is usually doing mediocre MTL. I guess I hope that they'll release the physical volumes in the west at some point.

The first chapter has a good bunch of GK references, for those who are interested.

No. 311784

I'm going to give some unpopular opinion takes:
-Reading the same true love or getting obsessed after the first night stories have become boring to me and alot of yaoi stories are like that, I want to see a yaoi story that's similar to the one men make where mc has a couple of people in rotation and they never fully settle. Also there is a lack of threesomes in yaoi , like it will be super smutty yet still have no threesomes.

-Office stories are slowly becoming the new mafia stories and by that I mean that they are becoming overrated.

-characters who behave very juvenile towards sex like something you'd see in sex Ed where the class is giggling and acting like they have no idea what sex is or how penises work despite being a male character. This is what I hate the most and it's everywhere in both mangas,manhwas,manhuas and drama series.

-a small uke doesn't mean feminine unless the top is so much larger than him and the uke acts juvenile towards sex "omo what your penis thingie is so huge wait what does a boner mean…no I can't have sex, sex is so scawwwyyy uwu uwu but I'll let you force me into it so I don't look like a slut". For me it's more about behavior than appearance and i cant stand ukes who behave that way.

-Lately there aren't that many translation teams so because of that many new stories get machine translations that make no sense and you have no idea what you are reading but you still keep reading only because you like the art.

-I don't like or find yaoi-bended art of straight characters enjoyable. There are so many yaoi stories that you could focus your fanarts and doujins on instead of Shonen stuff for moids or gacha games.

-I don't care what anyone says, shota is disgusting and most consumers of it are gross pedo men.

-Most popular yaoi comics are mediocre. Jinx, painter of the night etc etc are not that great and there are other stories with less views who have better storylines.

-Mangas, manhwas and manhuas are all equally good.

-Talking about trannys all the time is so annoying and it took over the whole site. Ot and M are filled with tranny discussions when that shit should be kept contained to snow and 2X.

A 20-something character acting like an embarrassed teenage girl about sex makes me cringe, it's such a stupid and overused trope. Even an unrealistically slutty one would be more entertaining.

>Talking about trannys all the time is so annoying and it took over the whole site. Ot and M are filled with tranny discussions when that shit should be kept contained to snow and 2X.

This, I'm so sick of hearing about the tranny discourse all the fucking time, everywhere I go, no matter if you're for or against it. To be honest the trend has calmed down a lot in the mainstream and I barely see gendershit anymore so the anons complaining about the constant troonification must hang around 16-year olds because they're the only ones going bananas over troonery anymore. Literally every fujo over 20 I've talked offsite hate the transbending thing and roll their eyes at all the gaydens even if they support trans people otherwise.

No. 311815

Not one of the other anons but regarding the t-subject I feel like we can still show trans lovers they aren't welcome when someone actually posts some trans shit. I see no point of having 80% of all threads evolve around tranny shit even when there is no fucking tranny to be seen.

I don't use social media as much as others or maybe I happen to follow the right artists I guess since I barely even see that shit otherwise but then I go some image board to talk about the things I enjoy only to realise that every damn thread is filled by arguments about fucking trannies. Most of these people are sensitive as hell so I highly doubt that more than a handful even dare to touch anonymous image boards and in case that an odd one might actually do this we can still tell them to fuck off. Otherwise I prefer threads to actually be on-topic.
It's especially annoying when the obsession goes so far that anons start accusing each other of being trannies because of the series or gay ships someone likes. Like I literally saw nonnas calling other nonnas trannies for liking feminine men and also baralike men and basically all kinds of men like some people are obsessed with this shit to some unhealthy degree and I wish I could actually enjoy and talk about m/m shit without reading tons of tranny related talk or write a paragraph like this here to confirm that I don't like tranny shit I swear but I also don't want to even think much about it and post cute m/m instead and enjoy my life. Switch off algorithms with add-ons and unfollow all artists that are prone to genderbend, misgender (in the sense of ignoring/erasing the canon gender of a character) and troonify and you won't see that shit on your timeline anymore.

I think what pisses me off about office settings the most is the romanticisation of that crap. Like I would totally enjoy it if it was about two characters bonding over their hate for their job or some shit. Like why do we never get stories in which a character unlocks some ESP power that allows him to manipulate his bosses, coworkers and job instead of isekai? This is wish-fulfillment too.
Or two guys that are so tired of the shit they have to do that they blow up their company and are on the run afterwards trying to evade police and find some new home somewhere. Anything that isn't "let me tell you about this boring fucking job and how GREAT it is! Don't you love working as well?"

I actually wish there was some gay isekai shit maybe I would actually watch that if the MC becomes the gay villain in the other world or something.

>I think what pisses me off about office settings the most is the romanticisation of that crap.
That's pretty much what I think of high school settings, I see that the students have fun clubs, have more than enough money and freedom to hang out with classmates, finish classes before 6pm and don't have to worry about graduating too much or about their parents getting in the way of their social/loce lives and all I think is "wtf that's not how high school was for me". I'm ok with them in old shojo manga but that's because the stories are usually different and the characters are treated like actual teens. Meanwhile in the BL manga I read with an office setting it's either a key point that makes the plot move forward, it's just an excuse to have adult characters meeting each other and having some credible reasons to not necessarily not get along at first, it's sometimes treated just like you described or it's just an excuse for artists to draw hot guys in suits. For instance I like how the MC in Sonna ni iu nara daite yaru doesn't give a shit about his job and dislikes the uke for barging in his usual bar during their free tile at first because it's relatable. Or there's Oni to Tengoku that takes place in a school with the MC and his love interest because teachers and not getting along at all at first but still seeing each other on a daily basis because of their job.

Speaking of gay isekai, i really recommend "I want to be the great villain". It's a manhua so you'll have to deal with censorship, but the MC and ML are both really refreshing bc their both twisted in their own way and their personalities are explored in depth. The isekai part is well done too and doesn't get stale because there is world-hopping. Nothing groundbreaking but a very enjoyable read.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I cannot stand school stuff for the same reason. I think school settings are usually slightly, very slightly, more tolerable because they're more likely to contain some magical or crazy stuff like with Haruhi, School Days but nowadays you barely even get that, it's mostly just school club series. I hate how they are painting school life as some utopian state that everybody is meant to enjoy. Like everybody is planning that stupid yearly festival and clubs make you happy and all classmates are fun harmless people that are nice to each other.

If you don't like the silly dynamic between the characters, the grinding, etc, and aren't super patient you should probably skip it unless you think you'd really enjoy the immersion of the sex in-game.

I've managed to unlock over 15 H scenes on f2p in the span of 2 months since I started though if I'm being super honest with myself Eiden kinda ruins them for me. His voice is so grating to me. What's keeping me going are all the cute men and the main story though a part of me feels kind of silly at trying to seriously play it? I should have just played 5 minutes a day at most and not bothered with the special challenges.

>The fujobait starting at arc 3 was a nice surprise though.

The only fujo pandering I can recall in arc 3 was that one shota who belonged to Priscilla, which isn't much. Juliuus, who many call the fujo bait partner of Subaru, wasn't as prevelant in the fujo sense as future arcs in my opinion.

However, that doesn't mean other parts of the story lacks that fujo pandering. Arc 1 had Subaru go on for a few paragraphs about Reinhard is the prettiest person he's laid his eyes on. Arc 2 had Roswaal flirting a bit with Subaru. And arc 4 had some light back and forth flirting with Otto and Subaru.

ive seen a few people praise room no 9 but seeing the hardcore tag and hearing about the scat scene is just way too offputting. hadaka shitsuji put me off games like that for life.

play it with textractor or vntranslator!! its a bit of a pain but i really love shingakkou, id love it if more people played it. i cannot emphasise enough how good it is for a blvn .im at the risk of sounding lame here but i recently enrolled for a japanese course and plan to commit more to my jp self study in part bc i one day hope to have a strong enough grasp on the language to be able to play shingakkou as is (and id love to work on something like a fan translation if an official one still hasnt been announced by then, although im with you in hoping that the paradise and masquerade announcements are positive signs)

I genuinely don't get people who claim VNs looked better in the 2000s.
>play it with textractor or vntranslator!!
Are they good? I always assumed they'd come out really funky and hard to read, I've played a game that was machine translated in the past and while I could get what they were saying and the context it still came out pretty strange
I guess I want to fully enjoy reading shingakkou instead of 'getting the vague idea' if you know what I mean?

>are they good
results were better than i expected, but admittedly some portions of the game came out not-so-great.
theres an incomplete playthrough of the game uploaded to this youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dpT2ULIXxE&ab_channel=DenebVegaAltair), so what i did was watch all the videos she had uploaded, then played the game myself with textractor – the added context i had from the videos was genuinely really helpful and saved the day for me a couple of times when the machine translations fell through. so i can personally recommend this method (also my extremely limited jp knowledge came in handy a few times), but i dont blame you at all if youre put off by having to rely on machine translation anon. every day i pray for an official translation announcement

>The subplot
Was this subplot a SS or was it in the main plot? I can't recall it but it has been a while since I read arc 3 properly.

And yeah the posssession scene can be read romantically. Though I always assumed him just feeling bad for Subaru rather than fujo pander. At least their future arcs together are harder to dispute when read romantically.

No. 312170

>>312167
Pretty sure it was main plot, though it has been a while.
It's fun to read into it, considering how Subaru mentions regretting not being able to make up with Julius and the arc 4 flashback where Julius laments never being able to call Subaru his friend.
But yeah, the ending to arc 5, plus arc 6 were just fantastic in that regard. I just hope it doesn't get cut too much this time.

If you're looking for non-explicit you should search "shonen-ai" tags. Unless that doesn't work anymore.
Anyway try Sasaki to Miyano if you haven't read it yet. Here U Are is good if you want a chinese webtoon format, although it's more serious it's not soul crushing. Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko is a gag series about BL tropes. Smells Like Green Spirit isn't explicit (not that I remember, although there is an interrupted sexual assault) and has a good mix of haha funny and serious plots.

My favorite cute non-explicit bl is Itoshi no Anneli. It's my personal little hidden gem. Others I can think of are Awairo Emaki, Futari no Hanashi, Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo might be explicit in later volumes, Tashiro-kun but it went explicit in the latest chapter. You've probably already read Doukyusei. Hayakawa Nojiko's manga are largely non-explicit but they do have drama. Yumeka Sumomo's manga are ancient but she has a ton of very cute short bl stories.

1. Steam is way more anal about Japanese games compared to western ones, meaning games where you fuck Hitler are fine but nitro chiral games need to be censored.

I could add almost every Harada/Nemui/Yamamoto Kotestuko/Asumiko Nakamura manga but it would clog up the spreadsheet.

Stories like this would work better with several volumes and most BL manga seem to be short or even just one volume long because publishing companies worry about insufficient sales more than more mainstream genres it seems. That's why a BL manga will have one volume, will seem to be a one-shot, and then two years later a second volume comes out because the first one was successful enough. Meanwhole shonen shit will have a "1" next to the title on the cover of the first manga because the chapters for the second volume are already published in magazines at the same time.

Hope they won't have to make many compromises otherwise I will just buy from the publishers again, even if it's more of a hassle thanks to paypal's porn ban. There are a few exceptions but in general I feel like the 18+ warning should be enough for a platform like steam. Adults that got it know what might follow and they are responsible people that chose to buy and play it despite the age tag. They can always drop it if it's too extreme for their taste.

It is, it's why most people gave up discussing things here. Everything gets analyzed by female mentally ill incel and everyone who doesn't fit your schizo mindset gets called a man. Like I legit saw some threads wondering how some women can be into men and not lesbians. At some point you just give up bringing up some stuff because you have to constantly wonder where the next schizo will start to rant about moids or trannies over your favorite things.

>At some point you just give up bringing up some stuff because you have to constantly wonder where the next schizo will start to rant about moids or trannies over your favorite things.
I agree with you. There is too much paranoia about moid-posting, which I understund, BUT which shouldn't extend to the media we consume and discuss. Maybe it's wrongthink to admit that some women don't mind fanservice and sexist portrayals in entertainment as long as they get served content they like/they get something out of it. I bet the usual paranoia-posters would screech about the resident Rancefag being a male (Heavens forbid women read moid-targeted eroge) if Rancefag-san wasn't such an obnoxious exhibitionist and they didn't know any better.

HOWEVER, schizoposting and thread derailment should never prevent you from posting. I hope you've hung around enough on chans to learn to ignore posts you don't like or that bring nothing of value to the discusion. It could be just one or two spammers replying to the same post ad nauseam. Just don't reply - let them starve.

Nta, but… Search the title of the manga and then chapter one using the search engine duckduckgo. One of the first results is a website where you can read what's released of the manga.

Holy fuck the feels, definitely one of the god tier VNs I've played even if it is a bit of a pain to set up (you have to set your computer's locale to Japan and run it as windows 7)
But I definitely recommend it now that I've finished it! Slow Damage and Hashihime I still think are my favorites though.

Not getting my hopes up yet, but there are at least a good bunch of anime that seem to feature male MCs or male dominated casts so maybe some of them will have proper characters and interesting chemistries. I see Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri, Kawagoe Boys Sing, Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen, Migi to Dali, Paradox Live THE ANIMATION, MF GHOST, OVERTAKE!

you're right about the fetishes being more niche than maybe your average vn, it's hard to explain but slow damage to me felt like n+c was trying to make a really polished looking game that they could market to a wider audience than their previous games. or maybe its just that the market has changed so much? stuff like the sadism might stand out, but aside from that i feel like the plot is surprsingly tame & feels worlds apart from earlier n+c staples like the myriad amputated sex slave bad ends, the entirety of sweet pool, etc. just my two cents anyway

Agreed there, the game has a lot of effort put into it even compared to other VNs but I actually really like that, it shows that they've improved a lot as a company and are willing to go above and beyond not only just BLVNs, but VNs in general.
For that reason it's my favorite VN. I guess plot wise it's a lot less fantastical than the others? But I like more mundane settings anyway.
>i always thought akira was a lot more intelligent than people give him credit for, at the very least he managed to survive in igra pretty easily whereas aoba gets his ass beat on multiple occasions and struggles to keep himself alive kek.
He's good at fighting, but he's very very stupid. Basically Akira is the buff guy in the 'where do you work out?' meme.
>he really has nothing going for him
He's the cutest one, so he has moe points.
>i love nano, can't believe there are people out there who love characters like mink or madarame but will shit on nano. is
I like Madarame a lot, don't like Mink at all though.
Nano's problem is that he's meant to be the true route but by the time we get to him we already know most of what's going on so there's not really a big reveal so a lot of it is just him being a fucking weird crackhead.

Speaking of TnC, I will always see it as Metal Gear Solid but with bishonen. The plot twists about the orphanage, the experiments on children in the middle of a war, the gay sadistic characters with weird fetishes associated with them, the random femme fatale that looks totally out of place among all the gays, even just the fact that Akira gets dropped in an island because of some government/military conspiracy or the fact that Akira is a clueless dumb bitch. It's MGS.

>Sephiroth has the decency of showing his tits and is voiced by the king of seme in all the spinoffs
Ironically my retarded ass moid friend tried to pretend Sephiroth was an uke.
>while Shiki, a literal gay porn character, wear a turtleneck of all things
Shiki is like a Sephiroth fanboy cosplayer who's too insecure to show tits at all time but he really wanted to have a giant ass sword.

With that being said Keisuke is best route.

i still never got the sense that akira was stupid though. he just cares about fighting, sure. the other anons argument that him being oblivious to keisukes feelings makes him seem like an idiot makes sense, but honestly like… most vn protags are oblivious, and it came across to me more that akira just never gave a fuck about anyone in his life period. he only seems like an idiot in keisukes route when he's like 'oh i guess i do actually sorta like this guy and never realised' – arguably that's just bad writing more than anything.
sorry for sperging but like i never see anyone call towa dumb even though he only really cares about sex, self harm, chain smoking and occasionally vomiting out an oil painting if he feels like it. and i never see people call konoe out when he makes the stupidest decisions out of all the protagonist imo, time and time again.
tl;dr justice for akira and i will continue to wk him

imo Akira wasn't just oblivious in a normal way, the way he treated Keisuke like a retard was beyond normal stupidity. It's more that he's emotionally constipated. Even if they were just normal friends he was being rude to him and selfish for no reason at all.

I guess because Towa's manipulation of others requires some form of emotional/psychological intelligence on his part, can't really speak for Konoe though since I haven't finished Lamento, thus far he just seems very very very basic (even for a VN protagonist he lacks personality sort of thing).

I didn't dislike Rin's route but for some reason I liked Rin a lot more outside of his route. He was a bit too whiny in his route even if he had very good reasons for that. Besides Nano filtering me, I had to force myself to finish Shiki's route because I found it dumb as hell. I played the official release of the VN and I think I outgrew this kind of characters.

With Shiki's route you kind of have to take absolutely nothing seriously and put yourself in the mindset of a 2000s shadow the hedgehog boy fangirl to fully enjoy it.

keisuke is kind of a massive retard though. a sweet hearted one, but still a dumbass. he goes into igra w zero combat or survival skills, and doesn't even consider that he has no way to get back home until its too late and he's stuck there.
'emotionally constipated' is 100% correct for akira though, i think that's the best way to describe him for sure

>>315417

Shadow is an endearing, well written character in Sonic Adventure 2 though, I will not allow slander against him. But seriously it's more that an irl friend of mine wouldn't stop telling about how Shiki is best boy and she took the route seriously when she read the VN long ago, I just don't get Shiki fans because they're take him seriously.

>>315424
Keisuke's stupidity is so obvious and plot relevant I don't feel like it's worth debating it, but he feels stupid in a normal way. Akira is on another level of stupidity, I said emotionally constipated because that's a line about Edgeworth in one of the Ace Attorney game and he also has a stick up his ass. I can't find anything other way to describe Akira but if it works it works.

honestly i played tnc recently and it still holds up incredibly well imo, but yes it undeniably hits that sweet spot of 2000s edginess that you don't get to see too often. if shiki were designed today they'd for sure get rid of his leather outfit, probably beef him up and make him wear grungy clothes like madarame. on the bright side he'd probably get a more nuanced route, but they'd also definitely change his bad ends and im not ready to get rid of nazi shiki lmao

come to think of it, am i retarded or does shiki just never get a backstory? every single other character gets a backstory explaining their motivations etc, but i swear all it is with shiki is that he fought nano once and wanted to get strong enough to beat him? he has 0 reasons to be in igra outside of that i swear to god. what a goofy guy, epitomal edgelord character is there just to wear leather and beat people up with his katana

No. 315518

a modern shiki in my head would be similar to those beefy black haired manhwa guys with leather straps and black tank tops for some reason kek cause that's the popular trope these days, like how edgy goth guys were popular in the 2000s
i played the game a long time ago so i don't remember anything related to that. you really need to turn your brain off and regress to an emo middle schooler girl to fully enjoy his route but that's part of the fun

I actually liked Battler. He didn't come off as dumb to me and he was pretty bad ass most of the time but still cried when he was shocked or sad.

Something about the chubbiness fit Battler and others better than the streamlined bishounend and pretty girl designs IMO.

They can't afford a game nobody's heard of that has 68 votes total on VNDB? (For comparison, Lamento has 454, Lucky Dog - 193, No, Thank you! - 475). If you need to pay more for the license than for the translation + programming + marketing + Steam 'harmonisation' combined for a decade-old VN, with no fantranslation, no fanbase, no awareness among your target - you're doing things wrong.

shingakkou is considered by many to be kamige. if its got a low score on vndb its bc it has no english translation or fan translation, unlike the other vns you listed. also like… jast was willing to pick up masquerade and paradise, both of which i've personally never really heard of outside of briefly looking through pil/slash's titles a while back.
im not saying you're wrong bc at the end of the day that's likely what is holding them back, but there has been demand for a shingakkou translation for a long time now (it frequently crops up on mangagamers licensing survey year after year)

There's a couple of discussions I looked up as to why they haven't announced a translation for shingakkou, a couple of them come down to

There's a couple of SJWs into jastUSA games (no I don't get it either) and I remember them trying to claim Rin (who's age is unknown) is over 18 and the cast of masquerade were all over 18 (highly unlikely) so a lot of people assume that they're into coming up with weird false reasons for why they can't translate it, the big one being the cost of seiyuus but they could probably just do an unvoiced release and then anonymously release a voice patch for free on vndb or something…

times have changed sadly. hadaka got translated because westoid fujos of old were more similar to male fans and operated with very little shame regarding "teh yaoiz". now those old based fujos have drawn back into their secret enclaves (they all know jpn by now) and we're left with the ""mlm"" aka self-hating straight woman who suffer from a purityfag complex

If I remember right, the reason why they can't afford shingakkou is the voice rights. Jast asked a year or two ago if fans would be interested if they released an unvoiced game that was originally voiced,but most said no. So probably they were asking about shingakkou but since most said no they gave up and did paradise and masquarade instead.
From what I heard erens voice actor seems to voice a character in shingakkou so maybe that's why the voice fees are expensive.

No. 316164

>>316163
Still seems kinda hard to buy, they could easily just release the game unvoiced and then someone (whether it be anonymously jast or a third party) could add a voice patch.
Even if they decided to charge extra for the voice patch I don’t think people would mind that much.
