queer baiting in the 'gender bender' tag

dannyistoogay May 14, 2021 3:11 pm

right- so considering that most mangas in the 'gender bender' tag are also tagged in 'yaoi' or 'yuri' but then it's like two male friends, one of them turns to a girl THEN they get in a relationship or two women, one turns into a girl THEN they get in a relationship but you rarely see any yaoi or yuri because it's literally just straight relationships/sex it is EXTREMELY stupid because it's literally queer baiting, as a gay dude i just look up 'yaoi' because seeing a woman's body makes me uncomfortable, the amount of stuff that is gender bender of two men and one turns to a girl is DUMB, can people PLEASE stop tagging gender bender stuff in 'yaoi' or 'yuri' if it never shows a gay or lesbian relationship for more than a couple god damn pages-

    The body doesn’t equal gender

    I agree with you. "sex" and "gender" are not the same and homoSEXuality literally means "same sex attraction"

    and they also tag a lot of the transgender manga under gender bend, like no.. thats not gender bend, that's them being an actual women/man etc.

    i know the body doesn't equal gender but it's still queer baiting because it's pretty much tricking gay men like me to read it, i'm trans and gay so i'm very clearly not transphobic

    yeah, it's dumb really, people need to learn the differences and need to learn what tags to put, like when people put censored manga under the 'uncensored' tag, it pisses me off so much-

    Exactly. The site really needs to update the tags, especially trying to use the newer term "bl" "gl" instead of yaoi and yuri :/
