Seme And Uke Brain

The Seme and Uke tropes have left an indelible mark on the world of LGBTQ+ fiction. Their enduring popularity can be attributed to the powerful emotional connections they create, the escape they offer, and the rich character development they allow. However, as the genre evolves, so too must our understanding of LGBTQ+ relationships.

Emily Maine Sep 11, 2023 The Seme and Uke Tropes We All Love We're diving into the world of Boys Love and Yaoi where the terms " uke " and " seme " are heard, said and known by every fan of Yaoi and BL content. Let's talk about the stereotypes, the mold that semes and ukes fit and maybe some ideas about how to break that mold.

As mentioned in this answer, the terms seme and uke are used in yaoi to describe a duality: Yaoi fans have adapted these terms to describe the roles in a male/male relationship: the seme is the one who takes the traditional male role: initiates the relationship, "pursues" the uke and is usually "on top" during sex.

Still can't figure out who's the Uke and who's the Seme here. The true answer is that it's none of our business. However I see the two of them being switches with Mya-chan taking the seme role first. Yes!!! A thousand times yes!!! Mya-chan would definitely take the lead first, but in the end, they're both switches. It's still up in the air.

The terms seme and uke also mean "top" and "bottom," but they're used by fujoshi in their BL doujinshi and fanfiction world, which means they have nothing to do with real life. In 2D, it's seme and uke, in 3D, tachi and neko. Or so was the case. Nowadays, LGBT people started to use seme and uke IRL too, mixing the LGBT subculture with the otaku.

Seme (attacker): The "active" partner, or top. Sometimes tachi, "sword" (or from tachiyaku, male roles in kabuki), by analogy to gay slang. (Seme and Uke come from martial arts terms.) Uke (defender or receiver): The "passive" partner, or bottom. Sometimes neko, "cat", by analogy to gay slang.

2005/7/3 15:43 I've read and heard about male-male relationships in Japan refered to as Seme and Uke. One is the taller/older top and the other is the smaller/younger bottom? Are all gay relationships in Japan based on this or is there an equal middleground for some?

The seme is the one who pursues the uke. In stereotypical terms, the seme tends to be taller/older/richer, etc. sort of more "masculine" (although I really dislike these gender normative assumptions.) Anyway -- the uke tends to be shorter, shy, etc. See Dean and Pharm from UWMA for a very classic seme/uke couple.

A character associated with the Boys' Love Genre, the Uke (or "Neko" in Girls' Love works) makes up the "receiving" half of a relationship (whereas in real life, sex roles are generally not as rigid as that portrayed in Yaoi and are also not "assigned" according to perceived masculinity).

The Meaning of Uke and Seme Uke (受け): The term Uke, in Japanese, literally means "receiver" or "one who receives". In the Yaoi context, Uke is the more passive, submissive, and generally younger or physically smaller character in the relationship.

The seme (top) and uke (bottom) issue is a big deal in the BL genre; the trope associated with the two is that the seme is the much more masculine character while the uke is more femininized. BL as a whole has been criticized for perpetuating heterosexual norms in homosexual stories, which is problematic for LGBTQ representation.
