Have you ever talked about yaoi in real life? How did that go?

I’ve been reading BL for years, but I’ve never really managed to find folks I could talk about it with casually. Most of the people I know aren’t into anime, so I just adapt to their "normal" way of doing stuff. The only time I ever brought up yaoi in person was with the "weird girl" in my class; and I tried to adapt too (someone 'weird' isn't a problem perse) but she had a habit of acting in ways that bordered on sexual harassment towards me and other guys she found "cute" (in an uke sort of way, lol). Another time, I tried to strike up a conversation with a girl who had a BJ Alex phone case—I figured, "Why not?"—but it turned out that was the only yaoi she read, and our interactions were limited to awkward nods... Highscool. That’s been my experience, I'm chill yk, I imagine things might be different for others. I’d be so curious to hear your stories (~‾▿‾)~
