Then quick yaoi question, have you read Super Lovers? For some reason I really liked the animation years ago.

I didn't read the manga, but i did watch the anime
I was younger, and didnt realize how absurd the trope was
The animation was certainly good, but the romance itself was not good, not to mention, illegal aswell.

The relationship is traditional yaoi, the chapters I read from the manga were more focused on that so it didn't appeal me at all. About the age gap, I'm pretty indifferent and story-wise it's pretty natural. What I liked was how everything was linked to Whitefang.

"Traditional yaoi" ?
What yaoi are you reading my guy 😭
Im mostly a yaoi manhwa reader,, but ive read a GOOD amount of yaoi manga and i have never come across a minor × adult trope
Except for hitorijime my hero.. which is 10 times worse .. But still

Traditional yaoi is one of the trends that keeps going from the 80s-90s where one of them is dominant (normally older, wants to control the other one, aggressive, seme) and the other is on the receiving end (same age or younger, passive, shy, non-assertive, uke), it's the stereotyped opressive relationship in Japanese marriages (just changing the sex of the wife). And age-gap yaoi relationships are quite usual in Japanese manga. Saying you're a fujoshi without knowing that is a joke in itself.

I like bishonen, which nowadays is basically linked to cross-dressing, gender questioning and non-binary, and most of the times with a good dose of humour.

Hmm
I don't read yaoi from the 80s and 90s, that stuff is ancient and i do not want to see those huge ass hands
So maybe what you say about yaoi from that period is true (regarding the age gap)
Also, i was not talking about age gap, age gap is rare in yaoi, but not out of the ordinary
I was talking specifically about the adult × minor trope
Nowadays its very rare that you see that in yaoi
I agree on what you about the sub uke and dom seme
That is the ongoing stereotype that will be continuously milked for the next few decades i suppose
