They'll immediately deny it. Anyway, I don't think they mean to fetishize it, nor do they see how some of us might find it offensive or even harmful. Sometimes people are just into certain things. Doesn't mean it's right, but it happens.
I can't speak in someone else's opinion, but for me, the reason I like yaoi is because it's something I can't experience but I understand it. Like the anal is NOT that enjoyable for a female, but regular sex is. And I hate reading a yaoi when there's a female who bully's or put down the male that would take on the "female role" because it's sad and no one deserves that treatment for simply liking someone.
This explains it really good please look: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LK5SwYfoT4s
Thank you for answering that respectfully instead of arguing over how the OP phrased it.
Google can explain it far better than I can. Search "female fetishization of gay men" and "male fetishization of lesbians". Not all men/women fetishize homosexual relationships in porn but a lot do.
