as someone who isn't straight, i literally don't understand this. how is being attracted to/like seeing two guys/women = being a fetishizer ? (i'm assuming we're on the topic of bl/gl content like mangas or even irl porn) but it still doesn't make sense ? just cause you're straight and like to view bl/gl content doesn't make you a fetishizer ? espe...... 5 reply
