Am I too yaoipilled?
Guys I know this is a predominantly BL site, so I wanna ask here. Everywhere I look, I see yaoi. Am I the one which is too yaoipilled or people are js straight up ignoring obvious gay subtexts(or sometimes, even texts).
So, some of the ancient/historical examples I saw:
• Achilles and Patroclus (they're mostly accepted as lovers but still alot of people deny and say they were just really close friends)
• Alexander and Hephaestion (Again, they're mostly considered best pals, but Alexander's out of proportion reaction to Hephaestion's death and how they considered themselves akin to Achilles and Patroclus makes me question and go ‘Ayo?’ to their relationship dynamic)
• Gilgamesh and Enkidu (so many people say they were js friends and were straight bc Gilgamesh was a casanova (and coerced women to sleep with him), and Enkidu literally became ‘tame’ after sleeping with a woman, but their friendship is too chummy that it's sus. And what's more, Gilgamesh’s mother even accepts Enkidu as her own son and says to Gilgamesh, ‘You will love him like a wife’ or something along the lines of that. And Gilgamesh also rejects the goddess when she asks for marriage, and rather chooses to be with Enkidu, his best friend. (Although there was more reason of him rejecting her, but still this reason can also still stand which makes me raise eyebrows).
• the David x Jonathan saga in the Bible. Look, I'm not christian, but I js checked their story out (some christian replied to my comment talking about them and how not everything is gay, when David x Jonathan are doing VERY gay sh*t T_T). Like, wdym Jonathan immidiately liked David and felt soul connection? Taking off his robe and giving him his sword? David saying his love for him is more than he loves any woman? Yeah, that's very gay if you ask me.
• Rumi x Shamz : now people might argue that rumi wrote love proses for God, but he was literally writing for Shamz. Like, Shamz left Rumi & he was so devastated he wrote love and loss sonnets dedicated to him directly and indirectly, and not one or two, we're talking 3000+. That's dedication, ain't no way y'all can convince me that it was not love for Shamz but for God.
These are just some ancient stories, the manga stories are a tale of another time, because TRUST there are a lot of them which makes me suspicious but people TOTALLY fram them as besties exclusively.
What are your thoughts?
Peace out, stan #satosugu!
