thx u!!
my question was cuz as a butch said himself the whole identity is abt repacking male masculinity so it got me thinking abt the yaoi heteronormativity discussion n how even if the artists seek to replicate straight dynamics they are still two men n that would also count or smt
also if you dont mind more yapping do this mean that het manga is heteronormative by default? also u think there is heteronormative dynamics in yuri?
Yes I do think there can be heteronormative dynamics in yuri depending on the intent of the artist/writer as it'd be hypocritical of me to think otherwise considering my stance on yaoi. Also, slightly off topic but, a lot of people on yuritwt seem to consider yuri to be this inherently clean and nonproblematic genre purely because of the fact that it's about women, but as a yuri enjoyer I think it's important to acknowledge and speak up about the genuinely bigoted themes in A LOT of yuri media 🤷♀️ it's definitely not free from criticism at all.
On the het manga-- I don't think I'd consider it inherently heteronormative because cis gnc people are NOT considered the norm in general society either... but I don't know enough about the content of the manga to give a definitive answer.
