Honestly OK in my point of view i think other people are just over thinking this. You can interpret this however way you want but I think people are overly exercising their entitlement. I have tons of friends in the LGBTQ+ community in fact my best friend is gay he's a man and he likes men. But you see our bonding actually consist of reading BL sto...... 1 reply

Okay, since you all seem to be very consistent when it comes to your thoughts on it. I think I'm going to hold off on my decision. And I think I'm going to explain a little more on what's making me feel guilty.
I've been reading a lot about how it's exploitive, and inaccurate when it comes to realistic situations. And yes it's fiction, ...... reply

Some of them are horrible and I hate everyone but it is what it is. Anyway, I’ve read gl too it’s good I just haven’t seen any cuz I haven’t been looking for new manga cuz I need t...... 2 reply
I'm someone who distinguish irl and fiction with ease. like i wouldn't read smth i see irl often and i wouldn't want smth fictional happening irl. and i believe anyone can Read whatever the hell the want bc as long as fiction stays fiction. don't go against other people's boundaries, don't break the law, don't violates other being's rights. like , ...... 4 reply
I read BL and GL but mostly BL. I don't necessarily think people should be labeled as a "fetishizer" just because its a queer story with sex. I enjoy GL and BL stories because i'm queer (pan, specifically) and I appreciate the representation. Cishet romance stories can also be fetishized by anyone, its just that BL is the most prominent of those st...... 1 reply
