WARNING: THOUGHTS ON YAOI AHEAD

(Anonymous) 2011-09-14 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
As a gay man who was shown this by a friend... I never got the appeal of Starfighter, personally.

I know people make strange faces during sex but EVERY.SINGLE.FACE. during the sex scenes is just so silly looking that each one could be used as a 'DERP' reaction image. I know it's not just me who thinks this either - tried showing it to another friend of mine and he formed the exact same opinion without me saying anything. Sorry, even if the artwork is otherwise beautiful (And it is!) the derpfaces... Can't get over them.


Also, the author would have to decide if the whole "You're my bitch now, porntime forever' shit is the goal of this comic or if the 'Serious, forbidden love with a side of porn' is the target. Without leaning towards one or the other, it just becomes a tropey, annoyingly-typical yaoi comic.

I know it's said that yaoi is 'geared towards women' and therefore I should 'expect to not like it' (Yes people have said this to me before, in defense of the comic!) but that sentiment gives me an 'only women would appreciate this' sort of vibe which feels... vaguely skeevy to me. I've had female friend who don't care for stereotypical yaoi set-ups and I've had gay men who read yaoi actively.

Just my opinion though.

I think it's a very valid opinion.

My main gripe with the comic is the disconnect between plot and porn. As lovely as the author/artist is, she can't seem to make up her mind as to where she wants the comic to go, and it results in a strange mishmash of porn that teases with plots that go nowhere (as of yet, though I'm fairly certain that any plotline present will fall through for more porn). I also have a problem with the consent aspects of the porn and the more stereotypical bits of characterization that we've gotten from all of the characters, but that might just be me.

I don't really have much to say on the sex faces. :P
