Honestly, I see this as nothing more than censorship, I just like stories plain and simple.So, Some of these stories have gay characters but not all stories are about lesbian or gay love. By saying that I shouldn't read gay stories just because *supposedly * I fetishize gay couple is fucking stupid beyond belief and I refuse to listen to these pe...... 1 reply
I am straight and I do read yaoi. I don’t find it odd. In the beginning, weren’t the target readers of yaoi straight females? I could be mistaken but that’s what I’ve heard. Also as long as you don’t think that real life works exactly the same way yaoi does and as long as you don’t fetishize gay couples I don’t think it’s bad. 2 reply
As a gay guy, I don't really care if straight people do or don't read yaoi, bara, etc
Yes these stories can have certain problematic elements such as romanticising rape, but as long as you have enough sense to differ fiction from reality just go for it 3 reply
tell them to mind their own business. Yaoi isn't problematic, it's the fans that make it problematic. Yaoi does encourage people to fetishize gay people, but people need to realize that gay couples aren't goddamn objects. If you stay in your lane, you'll be good. Don't let people tell you to stop doing the things that make you happy. 1 reply
The intended target audience for yaoi is straight women (not exclusive to just straight) I'm newly bi and I started reading when I was straight and I dont care who felt what way I was still going to read. And still am. I draw the line at fiction and reality. I know the difference. 2 reply
I'm not suicidal (I think) but I want to die. I sometimes search up ways to die and get absorbed into the topic. I also think that if my life turns really bad, I can commit suicide. My life's good right now and I'm happy reading yaoi. I don't think this is normal but I wish I could gather enough courage to die. Is it normal?
Yeah, as long as they don’t fetishise or objectify real gay couples, and affect real people.
It’s quite simple.
Stay out of others sexuality if it doesn’t concern you. 3 reply
