Letter meme: S is for Shota!
Screw alphabetical order, I didn't get an A, so. There are still lots of letters available here if you want to jump on this thing and make me talk about something, by the way.
WARNING! This is a post in which I talk bluntly about gay porn. I'm too shameless to put it under a cut, but some of you might want to skip over it.
S is for Shota! (from distorted_r)
I believe I got this because I mentioned how I am so not all over molesting Ciel like the rest of the Kuroshitsuji fandom. So, okay, here's the thing.
Little boys? They're not sexy!
Shocking, I know. But I'll be honest here, I have no desire to see drawings of prepubescent boys getting molested, no matter how cute they are or how much they may be enjoying it. It's not even a moral issue. I have remarkably few of those. If people want to draw that sort of thing, whatever, go ahead, I just don't care to see it. Because if I am looking at gay anime porn, I prefer the men to be just that. MEN. Or at the very least reasonably attractive boys.
Both of them. Not one sexy masculine guy who tops and one wispy little doe-eyed effeminate boy whose only job during sex is to drool and moan about how good seme-san's cock feels up his often self-lubricating ass. What is the point of gay porn if one of the characters looks and acts like a girl? (PS, I usually don't go for cross-dressing either) Even in doujinshi, there's often one character that gets "uke-fied" to fit this visual stereotype. Honestly, I've come to hate the terms "seme" and "uke" over the years I have been a BL fan because they evoke these stereotypes and imply that the characters are always in the same position. Tell me, why is there a rule that says a certain character always tops, and the other one always bottoms? They both have the same equipment, is it that hard to believe that in a reasonably healthy relationship they might trade places every now and again? This is why my favorite pairings have long been ones in which I could easily imagine either party on top, even though the rest of the fandom insists that one is always submissive. Hell, with a couple of them, I can even imagine a fight for it to be foreplay.
Okay, so somewhere that got sidetracked from shota per se, but it ties in. If I don't like the girly uke stereotypes, why would I like something even less masculine?
So yeah. Ciel Phantomhive was molested by cultists after his family was killed? Maybe. His demon butler screws him every other week? Wouldn't be surprised. But I really don't need to see any more detail than that. Chalk up another most popular pairing in a fandom that I really don't give a shit about. Now where is the Agni/Soma fic? :[
Bonus trivia: One day back when I actually paid attention to yaoi_daily, I for unknown reasons clicked on a clearly labeled shota entry, and the seme looked like Barts's evil twin, bandana, triple earrings and all. No joke. He had a scar over one eye, but that's how you know he's the evil twin. Well, that and the fact that he was molesting a ten-year-old. I saved some scans, despite how much it disturbed both me and my muse.
