Some things missing in some BL games

Or: These game characters should learn to stop worrying and love the dong

 

Disclaimer: The following opinion is genuine. But I like to express myself in creative ways after so many mostly serious posts, so shit ensues. A review will be up next week, please keep supporting this blog.
 

After so many dicks, I looked back to my complete VNs folder and tried to do one of the most dumb things a fan can do: compare not completely alike games. Bl games comes in all kinds of packages, with different plot genres and structures, but as long as they are under the same umbrella definition of BL, I noticed they all share the same types of mistakes. Misses that I found in BL anime and manga too. Of course, when I say all I don't mean AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL of them, but I'm trying to raise awareness of the problems that I usually spot in the majority of the popular releases. I already saw every one of those pitfalls being avoided in mangas, so there's hope in this world. 

Since Fuwa surely love some top X, I'll organize it in some top 5 countdown fashion. Do notice that I'll not tackle what I see in doujinshis here, because seriously, who wants to fix the fantasy world of short doujins? Hell, if everything they did there had 100% realism, instead of 17/20 pages of porn we would get 17/20 pages of (trying to) pay bills.

But enough sadness, let's get this over with!


5) Girls

Okay okay, maybe lots of people don't want tits in their BL works, but unless we're on a prison/gang/old army/all-boys school/world where mpreg is a thing (90% of the games are out already...), we need some of them! Of the works I read, if I happen to see some girl, one of the following happens:

  • She's some character's mom. Then she dies/is murdered and the guy angsts;
  • She's some character's sister. Then she dies/is murdered and the guy goes into a roaring rampage of revenge (in both cases, she dies within the first five minutes of the novel);
  • She's the main villain. She eventually dies;
  • Plot twist, she's actually male! Because of this maaaaybe she can survive.

She totally confused me for a second...

I would love to see some day a BL story where the MC have some female best friend and they talk about boys together aaah~
 

4) Porn that doesn't sound like your average BxG h-scene

Seriously, if some games didn't keep reminding me that both participants have dicks, I would think that I was reading some R18 otomege. Even some CGs seems like the guy on top is totally hitting the wrong place, artists, please get basic anatomy right thank you. I wouldn't copy a whole scene of this type here because effort, but it's as full of "yameteeeee, yaaaaaaa, Ryou-kun (random name) dameeee" as you're expecting.

And what's the deal of only the guy on the receiving end feeling it? Draw some expressions on the other guy too! It almost looks like that while the uke is having the time of his life, the seme suddenly realized that he'll probably die before Kentaro Miura finishes Berserk. Probably he and all of us, actually.

Not BL, but I'll never forget Akihito pulling a Sad Affleck in the middle of the porn years before Sad Aflleck was a thing!

3) Characters that actually identify themselves as gay/bisexual

Okay, we get that social stigma exists and all that... But BL VNs are usually more "edgy" than Yuri ones... Sometimes society collapsed already, what are you waiting for, you dummy??? "Oh, I'm totally not gay, it's just because it's you!" Yeah sure, Jun-kun (random name) only liked Kou-kun (random name), not a single woman (they exists? See point 5 above) or guy before. Or after. You're really not gay, Jun-kun, you're Kousexual apparently.

The scenario is even worse for bisexual characters. Remember any? Exactly.

Just kidding, I remember him! In fact... Everyone is bi in this pic. This is one bitastic game!

 

2) Condoms

Eeeer, just because none of you guys can become pregnant (if mpreg isn't a thing in their world, that is) doesn't mean it's all okay... But maybe if they DID try to use one, the following could happen, so guess in the end it's all the same...

FINISH HIM!

1) Lube

Dude, seriously, ouch. Just... ouch.

GRILL I WAS IN NEED OF YOUR POSTS!

And I agree with all points (even if the majority of the VNs BL I played had Bisex Chars. Like in Dmmd with Koujaku, Noiz, Mink and Mizuki, or in TNG with Motomi, Sweet Pool with Makoto, NTY with Haru, etc. Tou yeah none of them used the terminology...)

Yes we're in need of lub, it is painful seeing the Seme's using their mouth fluids in the bun and calling it "foreplay", AND this is a complain with all eroges, DID EVERYONE FORGOT THAT DST\STD ARE A THING to the point that condoms are treated as fetish...

Also can you tell me which media is that pic from the Bi\Gay section from, I'm curious...

END OF RANT.

#RELATABLE or somefin' like that.

OK... So, from the lack of ideas for a more substantive comment... Where's that pic from (the "everyone's bi" one)? :mare:

The game is Fukai ni Nemuru Oujo no Abaddon. Yeah, I'll keep praising this game in the forums forever, because it's the one true bi game I needed! Party have six characters, all of them are bi.

As someone who also played DMMD and TnC, the only one I truly agrees is Motomi. Koujaku only "played around with girls" as he and even Aoba said, he didn't really cared for them. I think the same can be said for Noiz, he didn't cared for anyone at all before. As for Mink and Mizuki, I can't remember them ever as much as mentioning girls, is it a fandisc/light novel/drama CD thing?

I'm obsessed with it. I need it. ;_;

I'm in need for a true bi game.

Agreed on the Noiz & Koujaku thing. But about Mink and Mizuki, In remember in morphine\mizuki route when his backstory is revealed that he could fall for both men and women... or maybe was in that manga where he falls for clear? I don't remember that much. As for Mink I think somewhere I read that he liked woman... but maybe AGAIN, my misunderstanding...  

Also Bardo from Lamento is also Bi similarly to Motomi.

Thank you for putting it in list form reading Cracked articles from back in the day has conditioned me to only be able to read anything that way

I think a lot of these problems are present in other types of visual novels as well

Yuri vn's, manga, and anime mostly seem to occur in a world that has either killed off it's male population or sentenced women to a lifetime of sex segregation.

In hetero vn's we hardly ever get to see the dudes face during the sex scene the most we can get is some disembodied male torso. The few times we do get to see the dudes face it looks like he has had his eyeballs removed and sewn shut.

As a side note I was legitimately shocked when I read a yuri manga called Prism that actually had a side character who was bisexual

Condoms just don't exist in Japan Maggie, along with STDs and unwanted pregnancies

Did you just post the Akihiko/KuroGirl H-scene from Comyu? aka the randomest H-scene ever.

A typical comyu H-scene.

Random Girl : Oh Akihito! this street is quite cool, i like strolling in the open field.
10 seconds later
Random Girl : OH AKIHITO!! YOUR!!

Well you lnow the rest, as for the rest, reading your contribution is still interesting, i'm not into BL, Otome sure, but not that much interested in BL, but you make it feel interesting and accessible for everyone, which is cool.
