...I'm starting to resent the popular (and I do it too) criticism against typical weepy ukes that they're "girly" or "girls with dicks" or whatever.
Let's not insult little girls by comparing them to those sobbing wastes of ink, guys. Ukes are like... crying little babies. It's the immaturity and helplessness they express when in a position where someone really ought to be (at least somewhat) mature and independent that makes yaoi creepy, repellent, and unhealthy. It's not that they're feminine. It's that yaoi generally features an angry abusive asshole raping a baby in a man's body.

And joy, this is how so many people feel they must write yaoi! Because someone has to act feminine in a pairing, and what other way is there to get that across than the classic weepy uke (bottoming, to boot!)? Which leaves the other to be the DOMINATING TOP SEX MAN. Because that's all there is to being masculine. Such shallow definitions!
asklfjdskfj I'm always afraid it's going to cause stereotypes that will carry into real life perceptions of people and uugh do not want.
