I am and I HAVE seen this done to plenty of REAL gay men with my own eyes? Me included, you have literally no evidence to back that up. "Ain't no one applying to men" the ignorance to actually say that, I'm happy you haven't met anyone like that but there's so many people like that, that's like saying roses and champagne and codename Anastasia isn't rape
Yo, chill. Wth do you think you’re reading bro? Since when has yaoi ever been abt real gay men?? Did you forget BL was meant FOR women BY women? I’d understand if you were talking abt an LGBT+ story that is meant for awareness and representation. Plus, this is fictional men we’re talking abt. As a gay man, I’m staying It’s ok to fetishize this
Yeah in the entirety of the human spectrum ofc you will find ppl that fetishize gay men. But majority of those reading this are queer/ace individuals or engaging with it as a means to explore sexual roles where women aren't the focus bc of how misogynistic society is. Like truly sorry you had some ppl fetishize you but anecdotal commentary isn't evidence for the greater amount of ppl reading this. (There's literal studies on women reading/writing BL/MLM I encourage you to read). Also, Ppl like to be hyperbolic when talking about any spicy story regardless of genders involved and especially in spaces like these bc most ppl know it's hyperbole and they are (generally) safe to do so. Trying to school women who read this isn't where you should focus your energy
Yh. There’s a more sophisticated reason y women like BL. Like having enough of reading abt women who are weak-willed and useless that jst screams misogyny (the reason y I moved away from shoujo), or being annoyed that they self project themselves onto the female MCs, so reading abt male MCs feels a lot better.
But I knooooowwww there’s a good chunk of women who read BL to, well, enjoy themselves But that’s not a wrong thing bcs they’re sexualizing FICTIONAL characters. I’m p sure it’s only a few of them who are no better than men who sexualize lesbians. I knew some, felt nasty as hell.

I want the big buff papi to ram it in the sexy mafia boss! but I also want to see him cry from receiving pleasure
can both just be switch pls
