East-Asian gay shows, the so-called BL (= boys’ love), are not liked by most gays, who feel they are not accurately represented in them.
A knowledgeable user here stated that
Somewhere between 95 to 99% of the Gay community has never heard of BL.
As much as it sounds weird, their main audience is young girls and, in lesser percentage, mature women.
There have been interesting discussions about that.
