the idea of somebody whose entire exposure to GL and BL is sailor moon and evangelion and furthermore thinks they're representative of both genres as a whole is actually insane to me, how do people like this even exist
Love this pic bc it shows my biggest frustration as a gay guy weeb which is that thereโs no bl genre fiction CLOSE to the gl genre fiction like SM, utena, Madoka, etc. The closest is like, Eva 3.0๐ญ the slice of life stuff is cute but gay boys have no fun genre stuff :(
Furthermore, even if they do truly like the work and respect all of its elements, a straight man isn't going to be interested in buying character goods of handsome male characters. The primary moneymakers will always be the female audience.
I really don't see the point in trying to promote joseimuke works to men without prior interest. Way I see it is there's only 2 likely outcomes: they either hate it and use it to look down on joseimuke fans or like it and then downplay all the joseimuke elements to save face.
I actually quite like the concept of a BL raising sim, but I'm not sure how I feel about the character designs, so I'll wait patiently and see what the reviews say when it comes out. Also the title is kind of corny.
@unyu_poppo I did get the SS where we learn about how Bakshi and Ethan meet so until we get our hands on Sweet Home we have that to look forward toโผ๏ธ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ
Slowly but surely I'm expanding my LD1 SS collection but still I've seen no sign of this being sold anywhere recently. It's from Bakshi's POV too which I always love to read. Pien.
@unyu_poppo Reading reps! I did not! However I did find the story you were curious about which talks about Bakshi using a photo of Gian while they're in bed HEHE
saw that username and immediately ran to my screenshots because ??? youโre having WHO write about otome games??? like girl this post annoyed me more than any I have ever seen about otome ever . judging the entire genre after playing less than 2 games
