Why don't BL anime/manga get popular? Are they (general audiences) stupid????
>>283118955They don't like rape.Because, unironically most BL seems to lean so much into weird dominance dynamics when one of the guy is clearly the "man" and the other the "woman" in the relationship. And that caused stuff like>I fell for him because it felt very good when he raped meBecome an almost intrinsic trope in the genre Funnily enough since menheras become so popular is now also very common to find girls being rapey in Yuri.If more BL were innocent cute romance it would be more popular
>>283119155Can't help it. Japs are natural born rape scenario writers.But then again, BL cannot happen without one of the guys being a bit forceful or making a drastic move. Not rape, but maybe non-consensual kiss.This already happens in mainstream media. Fuckboi and stacy fighting, and one forcefully kisses one.
>>283119301True, and while it makes me an hypocrite, I actually prefer one of the guys being girly.But as long as you don't exaggerate shit so much ir can be nice.I remember a series that was very good. I think the only rapey thing was at the first chapter.MC was a college guy getting kidnapped by a weird satanic cult wanting to use him (he was a virgin) as a sacrifice. Can't member the specifics, but MC ejaculated and his semen summoned a strong demon (other MC) that I think killed everyone else and then stayed with MCSo while they fell for each other, there was also a side pairing between MC loser friend and the demon fiance, who looked like a woman but was actually a trap.It was a fun series.
Why isn't there more high school aged BL like there is for straight romance anime? It's always college aged or weird age gap shit
>>283119728Collage aged men. Hmm. Who could benefit from seeing these on screen? Most likely women. Those dirty fujos.>>283119648You remember the name? Was it some eroge series?
>>283119888check 'em
>>283119728Because age gap is hot (I'm a guy (not a pooner either)).
>>283118955Because gay
>>283120388No one likes old hags on screen.>>283120427That's the idea, yes.
>>283120492Yeah that's what I'm saying It's just a bad idea by default if what you're going for is mass appeal
>>283118955Brave Bang Bravern and TSHD have been some of the most successful anime in recent history. What are you even talking about?
>>283120523Chinks like big robots.We also like big robots.I love espionage, bank heist, military thriller etc.If you think about it, none of these include love. So I'm taking something half of the world maybe likes, man and woman fucking, and making it 10x less popular (two anime dudes kissing)>>283120536Sure, every woman has a bungo stray dogs poster in her room, but that's not really general audiences. Do you have any statistics about who exactly watched those shows? Japanese people? Eastern Asians? Rest of the world?
>>283120536>TSHD>most successful anime in recent history.What did she mean by this?
>>283120761Trailing suction hopper dredger! My fav.
>TSHD>most successful anime in recent history.
I think every anime character owes me sex.
>>283120894You think selling shounen slop counts as success? Remember that one of the biggest industries in the world is garbage and sewage treatment.
What if dandandan was a BL?
