My research paper takes into account of all the prevailing factors, dominating influence of social custom, normative acceptance of the mass and many more which finally result in the culmination of such non-conforming genre(s). Asians have been perceived as typical of being conventional and sexually orthodox in perception and societal makeup. Despite the backlash and negativity of censorship involved initially in such genre(s), the internet boom and the availability of the same over e-platforms like online websites and the inception of webtoons brought in a wave of mass access and popularity of the same. It is interesting to note that BL (boy love) comics which focus on the same-sex love from a man's perspective, defying the traditional male-gaze for the female only, has had a massive viewership among women despite them being biologically straight. This paper makes an effort in trying to understand what reasons underlie such antithetical reading choices where sexuality might or might not essentially play a major role in such decisions.
