BL SMUT CLICHES THAT I HATE
Please, dear authors, stop copy/pasting each other, thank you very much.
- Small = bottom, big = top:
HeterosexualPatriarchal/heteronormative nonsense. - Hickeys = bottom, scratches = top: Let's get some variety here, please.
- Hickeys alllll over body: The artists are just going overboard lol.
- Cumming again and again, immediately: I know this is all fiction but still ridiculous.
- Top's expression cool as a cucumber/smug while fucking: Annoying.
- Bottom cries rivers during sex: Props to authors like Shutline's Kyou who dispel this overplayed trope.
- "You say you don't want it but your body is telling me otherwise": Some authors seriously just copy each other. (Also very problematic.)
- Top somehow gives shower/bath to bottom after sex while bottom is knocked out because mindblowing sex?: Lol.
- Top somehow still has hard dick in bottom the next morning: What?
- The morning after: Top is energetic AF while bottom is wiped out: 🙄 (This is always played for comedy while I just find it played out.)
- Bottom somehow knows they've been cleaned up when they wake up: Do they have superpower sensors in their booty hole?
- Light pink nipples/holes for Asian characters: This feels like a whole political/racial thing.
- In interracial relationships: Asian = bottom, white = top: The only exception I can think of is Dirty High, which is amazing. Dark Heaven is switch, which is also great. (Side note, why do the vast majority of "foreign" BLs feature white dudes... Again, props to Dirty High for having a Latino MC.)
- Monster 12" dicks: TY to the commenters for adding :')
