While I agree with a lot of this, I do think that some of the stuff you mentions in the stereotype area, I think some of the tropes are just from like negative tropes in anime in general.

Tbh it seems like your problem is with shitty content rather than yaoi. Yes there are crappy tropes like victims falling in love with their rapists, pedophilic relationships, etc. however, you can find those anywhere and everywhere. It's not something restricted to yaoi and to make it seem as though it's directly tied to that is wrong. There are ma...... 1 reply
Honestly, I'm doubting myself sometimes if i really am fetishising gay men?? I mean- not that hardcore.

Y’all how do you NOT understand. And let’s not joke around and take something seriously for once, you ain’t shit for making a funny comment. All they’re saying is literally summed up in the freaking title. All they are asking of you fujoshi is to stop using the “it’s just fiction” excuse. It’s invalid.

What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
That said, I need to ask everyone a dumb question. Where does it say who the OP is on these posts? reply
I’m really disappointed in some of these replies and it just shows how much of an issue it is. Some of y’all really don’t know yaoi and bl is mostly made for straight woman by straight woman? I’ve only been reading yaoi for 2 years now and I learned of this fact really fast. Why, because it’s really easy to find out. Not that gay men can�...... reply
I know it's not only me but it's really hard to trust anyone specially when you got backstab, or betrayed before. To be honest my parents made me like this. How bout you guys?
