What are the common elements in bully gay fanfic?

Another element is the support system. Sometimes, the gay person might have friends or family who help them in their revenge. For example, they might provide information or resources. In some stories, the gay person also uses their own skills or talents. If they are good at writing, they might expose the bullies through writing; if they are good at art, they might use art to convey a message against the bullies.

One common theme is isolation. Gay individuals who are bullied often feel alone as others around them either participate in the bullying or are too afraid to stand up for them. For example, in a school setting, the bullied gay student may find themselves eating lunch alone while the bullies surround them with taunts.

Love and friendship are also common themes. Despite the bullying, the story often shows the development of love or strong friendship. It could be the love between the bullied character and someone who supports them, or the forging of a new friendship that helps the bullied character overcome the situation. Also, family relationships play a role. Sometimes the family's reaction to the character's sexual orientation can either be part of the problem, like if they are not accepting, or part of the solution if they are supportive.

One common element is the isolation of the victim. The bully tries to separate the victim from others, like in a story where the bully made the victim sit alone at lunch every day. Another is the sense of powerlessness of the victim. For example, when the bully takes the victim's things and the victim can't do anything about it. Also, there's often a build - up of fear in the victim as the bullying gets worse over time.

One common theme is self - discovery. The characters are often in the process of understanding their own sexual orientation while facing bullying. For example, they might be trying to figure out if they are gay while being harassed by others. Another theme is the struggle for acceptance. They have to fight not only for their love but also for acceptance from family, friends and society. Love against all odds is also a theme. Despite the bullying and difficulties, their love still persists.

A theme of redemption can also be present. The bully may eventually see the error of their ways. Maybe the bully has a personal experience that makes them understand the pain they've caused. For instance, if the bully's own family member comes out as gay, they might suddenly change their attitude towards the gay character they were bullying.

Rather than focusing on the elements of such fanfic, consider the elements in positive gay - themed works. For example, strong character development is important. In works like 'Maurice' by E. M. Forster, the characters' growth in understanding their own sexuality and finding love in a difficult social context is a key element that is much more worthy of exploration than edging - related elements in fanfic.

One popular 'gay bully fanfic' might be those set in high - school scenarios where a bully gradually realizes his true feelings for the bullied guy. For example, in some stories, the bully starts off by picking on the other because of his own internal confusion about his attraction.

The 'love - hate relationship' is a very common trope. They constantly bicker and seem to dislike each other, but there's an underlying attraction. And then there's the 'protective bully' trope. Even though they were mean before, when someone else tries to harm the victim, the bully becomes protective, which is a sign of the changing relationship.

One common theme is redemption. Sasuke often starts as a bully and then has to redeem himself for his actions towards Sakura.
