Using "uke" and "seme" as titles instead of the characters' names can be considered disrespectful and inappropriate for several reasons. Firstly, it contributes to the dehumanization and objectification of characters, reducing them to mere stereotypes based on their sexual roles. Additionally, it undermines the creative decisions and intentions of the authors, who have crafted multidimensional characters with unique names and backgrounds. Moreover, this practice reinforces harmful stereotypes within the yaoi or BL genre and perpetuates rigid expectations for character behavior. It can also be seen as a form of cultural appropriation and can contribute to the fetishization of same-s** relationships. By using characters' names instead, we promote inclusivity, respect their individuality, and encourage a deeper understanding of their complexities and the narratives they inhabit.
