Are straight women that read bl manga fetishizing?
I’ve seen a lot of people on here argue about this so i’m gonna give my take on this. Probably gonna get cancelled
So my answer is yes but, if that’s the only kind of media they consume then it’s fetishization and they use it to get off then it’s fetishization.
This also isn’t based just on my opinion. I’ve asked many different members of lgbtq+ community that i know and a lot of have agreed with me. Some others disagreed but yea I just wanted to see you guys’ opinions.
Speaking as a gay man... it's not. It's a fictional setting with characters that really only vaguely resemble real life LGBT experiences.
I think the only way you get into fetishizing is if a fan (could be anyone tbh, cis straight girl or not) somehow super imposed this desire to see gay men with each other in real life despite the people in ques...... 1 reply

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with fetishizing the FICTIONAL genre. As long as you draw a strict line between reality and fiction and don't let it affect the way you treat REAL mlm and gay people, I don't see a problem. 2 reply
I'm really sick of people who share your viewpoint posting on here. It's been posted a million times and everyone has a different opinion.

If you want to kno...... 3 reply

Not just straight women. All non-mlm people, lgbt+ people included.
Y'all also have this weirdly strict and narrow view of fetishization and like, you can be fetishizing something even if you're not getting your rocks off to it. It is not nor has it ever been a requirement or a prerequisite that something must be subjected to being used for sexual...... reply
I'm pan and I've been accused many many times of being a straight woman who fetishizes BL. Let me get this straight for all you people. Not everyone who reads BL is a hardcore fujoshi or Fudanshi. I just like to read the genre. I've read every single genre there is and just because you see BL in my reading list doesn't mean I'm masturbating to gay ...... 2 reply
