that’s what i’m sayinggg… i know it runs on a seinen magazine but do they really think cishet men are the ones keeping the lights on at comic beam right now…… that’s silly. its fujo fanbase is responsible for the multiple reprints of the 350th issue

also this is more of a personal pet peeve but i REALLY can’t stand when people describe certain media (esp media with overtly queer elements!) as baity! like, if there’s no resolution that meets their expectations, does that invalidate the queerness of the work??? lmao 😮💨
they have their own made up standards for what qualifies as queer work. apparently if it’s not in-your-face or if it doesn’t run in a bl magazine, it’s not counted JKSDJDJ can’t understand their logic because i’m a big BL fan too. plus deep down i know wym will write actual bl one day LOL
yeah i think the medanika comic being tagged as bl on pixiv is why they think wym has ‘moved on’ from the bl genre (which isn’t a fair assumption because it’s not like she can write 3 serializations in 3 different magazines at the same time?! what happened to looking forward to the future….)
i'm snooping around on her pixiv and she apologised for tagging it as bl "when it wasn't" and that made me kinda sad tbh... ppl must've criticised it to the extent where she removed it. the opinion of an overseas internet user probs doesnt mean much to her but EYE do think it's a bl.
interrupting but "if its not in your face its not BL" is sooooo like. obnoxious americanized fan thinking 😭 needing to have characters look at the viewer/reader and go "we're gay!" like they're children is so insulting imo. like i can read between the lines... i can pick up what theyre putting down
the bl tag is not the end-all be-all of what a queer work is to me but i guess it’s not the same for everybody… on twt there’s discourse about ‘bromance’ vs BL in manga/drama too dijdkfndkdj 🧠🔨
like naruto had extremely cringey het endgame but u cant look me in the eyes and tell me naruto and sasuke werent homoerotic in some way like There are men in love everywhere for those with eyes to see
