It was bullshit and honestly it seemed like a troll, but the amount of stupid answers I saw....you can disagree and coherently, intelligently, formulate the reason WHY, you disagree.
For me it’s easy : - sex is sex, a good story is a good story. And women are allowed to read good shits - targeting WOMEN, to get your point across, is dumb—there is a problem with a lot of yaoi, a lot of mangas in general, targeting women as a whole is stupid and sterile - it all depends on how the reader approaches the story, and not all readers are fetishizing bastards - I don’t mind straight men reading GL, or watching wlw movies, and books and so on
-a good story is a good story .But a sex probbably isn't just sex. It might include romanticized or glorified rape, incest or pedophillia .You can read whatever tf you want to but you should not fetishize gay people.
-No one is targeting women.People are calling out fetishizers. Men who fetishize lesbians get the same shit fujoshis get.

I don't mind women reading bl, you can read bl that contain sex only if it isn't the major point of the story. This is coming for an mlm, also cis girls don't come attack me pls. 2 reply
Women aren't being "targeted", and the (possibly unintentional) implication of misogyny there makes this out to be something it's absolutely not.

From my pov as long as u don't go to the gay person n say weird shit it's okay. As long as you don't make them uncomfortable it's okay. As long as u don't say hey would you be the uke to my seme it's okay. If u identify as a fujo don't engage with gay male irl. In a nutshell irl behave normally. 1 reply
See to me the major broach on if something is offensive or not is if it goes into real life. In terms of the books, like manga, I don't care. Read and enjoy whatever you want, even if it's 100% just gay porn.
BUT if you harass anyone in real life that is a crime. You need to be aware that a person is a person, not just their orientation (etc..). Y...... reply
women don’t get a say on whether BL is problematic nor do they get a say on what behaviors count as problematic. I don’t know why this needs explaining, but any critique of yaoi and/or it’s readers is targeted at *everyone* who consumes such content. The reasons we default to fujo’s is because they make up the majority of the readers. yaoi/...... 4 reply
A lot of people are making a lot of good points ! Thank you for being coherent !
(Also to people who seem to think I would go see gay men and like, fetishize them— I’m, I believe, a decent human being, and second of all I’m a gay woman, so fetishizing based on your sexual orientation is something I know too well and wouldn’t do)
Thank y...... reply
