TV Why is there so much BL and very little GL?! (1 Viewer)

[StirFriedPanda]

This question has actually been in my brain for quite some time. There is TONS of BL content but very little GL content. For a long time the only thing on Viki was

Yuri or Another | Watch with English Subtitles & More | Viki

Fumika Baba and Kojima Fujiko were once school friends – but a chance reunion seems them develop altogether different feelings for one other.

Which is cute and funny. I do recommend it.

There's a total of three more GL show's now. Finding the category Viki actually takes some digging. None of the shows have stellar ratings.
Why is there such a huge gap between the two categories? Is BL generally more acceptable and why?

I know this is a serious thread but every time I read Viki I kept thinking of one of my favorite lesbians @Vikki

Wow, no one has ever refered to one of my threads as serious.

I mean I take the lack of WLW rep in media seriously-but I'm also Bi and really love women (yes I'm with a man).

I always thought GL was popular in Japan. Also quick tip don’t click the Yuri tag when its trending thinking its Jo Yuri on twitter

Honestly, I've never understood why any woman would want a man. Women are better looking, generally cleaner, care more about how you look. Men are hairy, smelly, and often grouchy.

As a BI woman-my BF is a metrosexual. He keeps himself clean and well taken care of, best of both worlds for me. But damn women are AMAZING.

And all the Yuri dramas I've seen seem to be very soft and pg. While the BLs get the 18+ action
