At first I thought it was just their preferences (I can understand that and respect) But Why would they comment stuff like that In an obvious bl edit?, Their disappointment feel like they are being Dismissive.

The internet is just fucked up. You’ll have people complaining about gay stories and then on the other side you’ll have people commenting weird shit like the ‘thank you computa’ the second two people of the same sex (whether they’re together or not or even minors) are seen together.
Some people just won’t ever like seeing bl or gl (not...... reply
Not saying this to defend one point or another. Just offering a possibility. An actual answer as to why people express disappointment when something that caught their eye turns out to be "bl".
