#and a lot of ppl especially younger ones who werent around when it was yaoi rather than bl

nobody knows their yaoi history 🙄
#this is a joke but also its not bc i keep seeing complaints about how cishet women write bl (which are valid)#that seem to imply that the op is unaware that the entire genre was created by and for cishet women#and that while bl is a specific type of mlm romance it does not encompass ALL mlm romance like brokeback mountain is NOT a bl#bl is just yaoi with a different hat on#anyone insisting theyre different is just wrong#bl as a term was coined to distance the fans and creators of yaoi from the bad connotations that the term yaoi had developed#ppl started speaking out about how horrible the yaoi genre was due to fetishization homophobia biphobia misogyny#and romantisizing SA as well as other problematic content#and rather than accept that they were the villains the cishet yaoi girls just put on a new jacket#and then started saying 'yaoi is an outdated term its bl now 🙄🙄'#the primary target of bl is the same as yaoi#its main target audience IS cishet women#though there are many ppl who seem to have taken the criticism of yaoi seriously and have created bls that are genuinely good#and are more respectful towards queer audiences and queer ppl themselves have started to produce content for the genre#that doesnt discount the fact that the bl genre is still dominated by cishet women who get off on homophobic stereotypes#and a lot of ppl especially younger ones who werent around when it was yaoi rather than bl#dont seem to get this like they dont know that bl and yaoi are the same and they seem to think that just bc its a genre focusing on mlm#that that means the main demographic is also mlm when it is absolutely Not#and thats why complaining about cishet women who write bl Specifically is a bit redundant#bl is what it is BECAUSE cishet women write it#hope this makes sense thanks for coming to my ted talk
