"made by us for us" thats kinda the problem, yaoi wasn't a genre made to represent gay men, just a genre that was used by women for their feitsh. But thankfully now, bl is a lot more inclusive but we still got a long way to go with stuff like "authentic gay training" reply
they don't "whine" like u sarah..they just tell ppl to don't sexualize them.understand it.and it's not made by "us to us" u know there are also men who also write BL right? and if u haven't get it at least try to understand it..don't complain like this. reply
Yaoi blatantly fetishizes MLM. Gay men are allowed to criticize this because we are the ones being fetishized not you. Straight women are not being represented in a bad way in yaoi but we are so we are allowed to "whine" reply
Yaoi isn’t made by straight women for straight women, it’s made mainly by women and consumed mainly by women, but straight women in the yaoi community tend to fetishized mlm, that’s why they complain, the genre is fine, u reading the works in the genre are fine, it’s when u start fetishizing actual mlm is when it becomes a problem. reply

So yes, they deserve every right to call out yaoi mangas and mangakas who fetishize gay men.
They're not whining or making a fuss, they're speaking for themselves.
Also, most of them don't have a problem with women simply reading yaoi. They have a problem with fujos going "i wAnT tO bE...... 1 reply

1. its not made specifically for women, some are but theyre normally shit, 2. oversexualizing mlm is uncomfortable not just for gay people but a lot of people reply
Tbh a lot of the times they have valid points and some times they don’t. Bl isn’t or shouldn’t be written for st8 woman specifically but for anyone who wants to read also you sound a little entitled so tone it down reply
