Hi friends, I’m a white, American, middle-class, mostly nondisabled, afab non-binary girl (it’s complicated, don’t ask) and baby feminist radical slogging my way through college! I love BL and consume a loooot of BL ( ) but the poor representation of women, absolutely abysmal treatment of consent, etc etc in the genre are continual points of frustration for me, just as I think radical/intersectional/whatever-label-fits feminism provides a useful lens through which to examine gender politics and other feminist issues (such as class, disability, sexuality, race/ethnicity etc) in the genre. So I'm now making this website about BL in order to vent, and turn my rambly thoughts into something productive, and hopefully entertain/inform fellow fans of BL and fellow feminists who are sick of the awful in the genre.

I really want to keep this a fun, informal space, as well as one that’s safe for people of all identities (marginalized identities). That means:

  • talk to me! offer your thoughts, opinions, requests and questions! my perspective is limited, it’s just my own and no one else’s, so I’d love to see other people add onto my thoughts.
  • if you have information I don’t or you think I’ve screwed up, let me know! especially if you have access to Japanese feminist scholarship, hot dang please gimme some of that
  • no slurs, no antagonism, no apologism
  • more rules may be added when/if this website becomes a bigger thing


That’s it! A big thank you to my followers, I hope you enjoy the new direction for this website~

I can't wait to start posting about my favorite type of bread here on the newly christened Ryezone. "Rye is good" is a popular saying here, and we will defend this motto against any and all rye-visionists
