To me, being unable to differentiate yaoi/bl from gays in real life is not right. But then you definetly have a point that we do the same for heterosexual relationships : I think people just notice it less bc yaois have a more "negative" point of view on them since they're homosexual relationships (yes we r in 2020 and still facing such problems).

Fetishization of any people group is bad. But bad representation of lgbt people and other marginalized groups, aka not straight cis people, can be the difference between getting rights and getting killed. 1 reply
ikr 12-year-olds out there romanticizing a TOTAL PSYCHOPATH like Sangwoo, saying things like: "OMFGGG HE IS SO HOT I WISH HE COULD BREAK MY ANKLES TOO" "I WANNA MARRY HIM" girl IF YOU WERE IN YOONBUM'S PLACE WITH ALL OF THAT CRAZY SHIT WOULD YOU STILL BE SAYING THOSE THINGS??????? And, I've seen some comments on some tiktok vids with boys with the...... 2 reply
I agree. Yaoi is similar to any other porn or anime or manga with sex out there. Because of cancel culture, it’s seen as evil. I’m gay and I don’t really care about it lol. Enjoy what u enjoy. reply
It can be harmful to simpletons who have no ability for independent thought. People like you give me the willies. It’s like you’re the product of a union between Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the novel 1984. reply
I agree with the depictions of gay couplings. Sometimes I do get annoyed at the way ukes are way too feminine, almost depicting that bottoms are only reserved for people that are female-like and semes are for masculine people. Also with the depiction of denial as well. It’s such a common trope that MCs are so annoyingly up their denial of homosex...... 2 reply
there's always been this problem with yaoi and bl where readers who can't differentiate fiction and real life tend to fetishize gay people and homosexual relationships right? I also agree that this is a problem and people should stop doing this, but i've been thinking, aren't yaoi and bl just the same as any romance story, but with homosexual characters? Then, have we been fetishizing heterosexual relationships too as we read shoujo and romance stuff? not trying to offend anyone, just had this thought in the shower .-. i'm sorry if my wording is kinda off
I definitely do agree with you about how harmful most of the content on here is, especially when it’s rare to see disclaimers and such. I do think that 12 year olds and younger kids shouldn’t be on here, but I don’t think it’s something that’s preventable. A lot of kids are starting puberty early in these recent years and are exposed to m...... reply
