With this amount of attention, however, comes a clearer view of the genre's biggest problems.

A lot of BL can be uncomfortable to consume because the relationships too often fetishize predatory, non-consensual, harassing, and even abusive interactions. Popular BL prefer Dakaichi and The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window suffer from this, as well as classics like Junjou Romantica. As a result, many are seeking BL that don't strongly adhere to the common, and often toxic, tropes that dominate the genre.
