Discussion Warning: BL/Yaoi Discussion.

I am not responsible for whatever trauma you will experience in this discussion. So those who dislike BL/Yaoi please don't hate me because I've appropriately warned you TWICE not to read if you don't want any trauma.

Spoiler: CLICK HERE FOR THE TOPIC.

So I'm curious, for the fujoushis and fudanshis out there, what do you prefer?

Pair 1: The typical Seme x Uke pair.

Pair 2: The Seme x Seme pair.

Pair 3: The Uke x Uke pair.

Pair 4: The Uke looking Seme x Seme looking Uke pair.

Or None of the above, please state your preferences.

 

@Arrynne there should be a poll so we'll know what majority thinks. By the way, I'm new to the danmei world so I'll vote for the usual shou x gong pairing, and another by the way, the novel that enlightened me is 'Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil'

 

Is this supposed to be a reverse psychology test?

 

I'll just delete the last part, will that do?

I'll just put numbers on the poll.

 

Yeah, the title made it sound like straight guys like me would burst into flame when they click on the thread.

 

I like the usual pairing of seme x uke, but I think prefer seke pairings more, the type who can switch roles and take turns.

 

Hahah, just trying to be cautious, I don't want to get caught shhhh.

 

what can I say, I'm generic.

the only thing I change are the personalities of the two males

 

Like a reverse role pairings? Those who can take a hit and hit back?

 

I thought this is some mindblowing shit.
I think I like pairs who could switch roles.

 

hmm, I like the typical seme x uke, but vers is also fine. I like noncon, dubcon, fluff, strong ukes, equal relationships （∩▽∩）

 

I'm sorry it's a clickbait hahahha.

Wow that's a lot of things hahahah.

 

dang clickbait...

 

Hmmm, out of all of those, my favorite would be Pair 2: Seme x Seme. It's kind of sad because not a lot of novels have that sort of relationship dynamics. (Also I'm going to assume that a Seme x Seme pairing implies a Seke relationship.)

I'd consider myself a veteran reader of BL novels/manga... And honestly, the typical uke x seme pairing can get really tiring sometimes, especially when authors write the uke to be feminine, weak, or girly. And the seme is of course, the usual over-bearing and super manly kind of boss-type. There's nothing wrong with those types of characters, but I find it uncomfortable when an author uses those to create toxic or unequal relationships.

I find that a story with two very powerful and dominant "semes" more interesting. The romance also tends to be more of a slow-burn since both characters are trying to figure out the relationship. The sexual tension is great to read about lmao

 

Funny thing, I've been awarded a trophy after I posted this thread. Hahahah.

That's where Pair Number 4 comes in.

 

yes seke can be both seme and uke. this is probably why I like bara more than the usual pretty boy yaoi as well xD

 

Congrats on the trophy

And yup, Pair 4 is also one I enjoy reading about.

 

well for me i usually like the pair 1 but if there's a seme x uke x seme then i'll rather choose those cause i like 3p. well pair 3 is fine too if the two guys i want to pairs are both uke.And i like pair 2 a bit cause seeing the pair fight to see who's going to top are sometimes hilarious so yeah.But the conclusion is i like all of em cause you know （●＞ω＜●）

 

I can't enjoy 3P as they are still considered love triangles that I absolutely dislike. But you like what you like hahah.
