It certainly feels less of a mockery since the late 2000s, but Shungiku Nakamura is still a strong name and even more recent works/authors end up playing the "sensitive uke, strong/violent" seme trope. In fact, the "violent" seme has been particularly worrying, to me, in the 2010s - I dare say it's the trend of the decade. Just look at Saezuru (sometimes averts it, but sometimes... not.) or "subtler" ones like Ten Count (haha that's subtle like a giant rock thrown on your back) or even those that are just a paedophilia-induced power imbalance (*cough* Doukyuusei itself has some of it *cough*) ... I'm not making this up. Worse, the trend of the 2020s so far seem to be "interracial" couples (not even going into how it's now mocking races as if genders wasn't enough, it's worse when you somehow get to stablish a correlation between these kinds of prejudices in a supposedly inocuous way).

But then there's Ai no Kusabi - based on a 1986 June novel which literally pictures the twisted affair between an elite blonde man and a poor tanned so-called mongrel and isn't shy of poking fun at their degenerate society while not depicting either as a "girl".

So yeah, it's really a mixed bag of... everything. Just don't try telling me it's an "old claim" because because authors have gotten "conscientious" and not because they want to enjoy fantasies without probing outsiders.
