fujoshis are bad.
cis women are inherently mlm fetishizers, if you read BL, me a mlm has every right to think that you probably fetishize gay men or romanticize rape in m/m pairings
here are some red flags from a gay man who has been around the bl fandom for a year now.
- women on mangago who only read BL, or read BL more than 50% of the time.
- Women who use BL as a way to escape the male 'gaze' a lot of times they tend to project toxic behaviours in m/m pairings because it's okay since there is no woman in here, so they don't see themselves in the story
- straight women who say they hate yuri/gl
- cis women who wants me to be their gaybies/ask me personal questions ( top or bottom'
- women who use the ' nosebleed yaoi ' meme
- women who complain about a YURI/gl being written by a man, and then in the same breath loves BL/YAOI written by women.
- women who use the 'i'm lgbtq card' as a way to get away with fetishization.
yuri art tends to be much cuter than bl, but theyre usually lacking in plot. dont get me wrong, i love a good cliche, but it mainly tsundere/dandere bottom, with some sort of cool top. it is with bl too, but its just not the same i guess? buildup and stuff matters.
also, im a straight guy who likes bl... so... uh do i count? 1 reply
