Performative male yaoi 'fans'
So for last few days I've been noticing some men posting posing like Andrew young, zhenya, taekjoo, ceaser, Lee know on my fyp. At first I was like wow these men are reading hardcore yaoi but they're not .but girlis are eating that shit up. Like girl you can't be this dumb, this is textbook performative male behavior.

Istg, if I see the fucking word 'performative' one more time... Okay, so, it's not just your little secret. And like, it's reading BL/yaoi, it's not that deep - do you want a badge for being an OG or something ? (Which, I'm sure you're not lol) Let people, performative or not, read and enjoy it. (Sure, the choice of BLs listed is mid and shitty for...... reply
Brother/sister/sibling, if a man wants to “perform” by getting into stories horny girls draw about unrealistically proportioned boys having unrealistic gay sex, I’m not gonna stop him. reply
