how many times do I have to explain this to you fags
It's about complexity and prose. Simplify prose and you get YA. Take Harry potter or the tripod trilogy for example. Both good for the reason that it's easier to digest for smaller minds. This is why women love harry potter and romanceslop. Bakker is not adult because of his edginess. He is adult because of his above average complex philosophy and prose. More so with something like gene wolfe. You think 14 year olds are reading that? Red Rising is YA because of its simple prose. Jack Vance's Dragon Masters, though lowbrow sci fi world of 80s style laser dinosaurs, is not YA because of its complexity in story and prose.
A 14 year old would read Red Rising. Anything that a producer could look at and think "hmmm this could be an easily digestible tv show/movie for the masses!" is YA.

I thought the book was interesting but I hate the way gen x writes. They all write like they sitting at a bar with you shooting the shit, thinking they were the first to invent swearing and sex. Their prose is dogshit and they are all midwits who add nihilist ideology to their story. Whether it be climate change, le orange tyrant, or some other mans hubris disaster. I read oryx and crake the other day and was rolling my eyes at the too cool for you way it's written. Granted that's a female writer so it was more than likely to be annoying, but blind sight has a similar smug attitude, like they are soooo much smarter than you.
