@Asha221151 ....As a psychology major, you clearly should able to know the difference between "fantasy" and "desire" And you should also know that stories are NOT a window for the author's mindset. I repeat. NOT. WINDOW. OF. THE. AUTHOR. MINDSET. Not the way you think. Just like thriller writers NOT fantasize about murders, sci-fi writers NOT fantasize about living in a dystopia, etc. These are just stories!!
The real reason BL writers are so fuc*** up is quite the opposite - they want to FIX the characters, they want a story when the good, kind, pure-hearted weakling actually change the crazy psycho, that never happens in real life. They want an illusion that good can win, and everybody can be happy. That real evil doesn't even exist. (...and they usually do it with zero research wok anyway, that's why it's soo rare to find a well-written couple, they're usually just some very-very old archetype.) It's harmful in a million ways but it's not about the authors, but the young readers who has no experience, and learns from netflix & BLs about relationships.
...Then they think fixing narcitic psychos are a good way to find your foreweer love. (And/or the bottoms are always right, suffering is necessary to be happy, etc.) But it's avout them, not the authors!
The authors just write a story, but 99%of them don't have the talent to do it "on literary level", that's why there's a huge gap BL toxicity and wuthering Heits's toxicity, for example. I mean, just think about it, it's basically the same story! An obsessive psycho ML, a "weak bottom". (Ok it's a gir there but before feminism, so...), misunderstandings, tragedy, even kids are involved - but that novel do the right think and actually SHOW us it's toxic to the bones. And show us if you're like that, everybody will suffer, and NO HAPPY END for anyone. Because that's rerality, that's "love is blind" means, so be careful.
