huh interesting can you site some articles that actually say that yaoi was historically written to make fun of gay people? because fr what ive read, it emerged as an outlet for female writers to explore sexuality and relations without the strict gender norms. although most of them have unrealistic views on how gay relationships actually work.
im not saying in any ways that yaoi isn't at all problematic. call out who you want to call out at the end of the day, nuances exist in fictional stories. if consuming media is affecting your life negatively, if what's being depicted in fictional media is making you blur the lines between what's real and what isn't, then why continue consuming it at all? dropthe story.

Mygahd if you do not know or if it's not clear to you, this is fucking FICTION. I do not get why some of you dump your moral standards on fucking yaoi or do some of you just don't have discernment and cannot understand how people are able to separate fiction from reality
