Some common themes could be self - acceptance. In a gay male context within the fanfic, the character might struggle with his body image at first as he gains weight, but then come to accept himself. Another theme could be the support of a partner or friends. For example, his boyfriend could be very loving and accepting of the physical changes, which helps the character embrace his new body. There might also be themes related to health and lifestyle changes that come with the weight gain, like how he adjusts his diet or exercise routine in a new way that suits his new body.
Authors can start by giving the characters unique personalities. For a gay male in a weight gain fanfic, make him have distinct likes and dislikes. For example, he could be really into a certain type of music or art. Also, give him a backstory. Maybe he had a difficult childhood in the SCST (whatever that is) which affects how he views his body as he gains weight. Another way is to show his relationships clearly. His relationship with his family, friends, and especially his partner should be well - developed. If his partner is very accepting of his weight gain, it can add depth to both characters.
One common theme is body acceptance. In these fanfics, often the character who is gaining weight has to come to terms with his new body shape, and his partner plays a big role in that acceptance. For example, in many stories, the partner will show love and support regardless of the weight gain.
One common experience is that some male gays may gain weight due to a change in lifestyle. For example, when they enter into a stable relationship, they might start cooking more often at home and having more regular meals together. This could lead to an increase in calorie intake. Another aspect could be related to mental health. If they feel more accepted and comfortable in their community or relationship, they might not be as strict about their body image as before, and thus gradually gain weight.
In male gay weight gain stories, body image often changes in complex ways. Some men might initially struggle with negative self - perception as they gain weight. They could be used to the more muscular or slender ideals in the gay community. But as time goes on, they may start to re - evaluate and become more accepting of their new body, especially if they have a supportive partner or group of friends.

Mentally, it may desensitize readers to inappropriate and unethical content. If people are constantly exposed to this kind of extreme and improper fanfic, they may gradually become less sensitive to what is normal and healthy in real - life relationships, whether it is about body image, hygiene or relationships in general.
