u dont have to read the rest of my post if u get the point
i used to be obsessive during my small fujoshi phase, and i realised, its quite uncomfortable for gay men. i even started hating myself for being a girl, but thats besides the point.
don't project ur understanding of gay relationships from yaois in real life. dont ask them weird questions about their bedroom life. don't ship people irl, even if they are idols. respect their feelings and sexual/romantic orientation.
if u don't do any of those things then ur chile :)
its okay to read yaoi, but you see, gay men do not want to know that.
also, the tropes and stereotypical situations in most yaois can be upsetting because its not actually like that in real life. of course people know its just fiction, its still a huge let down for gay men. all they want is proper representation, normalisation and respect.
lets redeem fujoshis and change the interpretation of fujoshi from "rotten girl" to "respectful BL fan" (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Well, in my opinion, you shouldn't be giving yaoi fans a name in the first place. It just sets gay relationships apart from straight ones, and we need to normalise them, not put them out in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. In my opinion, it's okay to read BL, but I had no idea these people were going around telling gay men they read it...
