Personally I never really cared when it came to other people shipping fictional or real-life people as long as they weren't toxic or harming anyone in any way, if that makes sense. I mean, for example, my friends would say that "oh idol_ and idol_ should be together since they're so compatible.." and I never minded that but when I would hear about fans being like "NO THEY ARE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER" I would get upset and even disgusted especially when they would out-right say it to the people when they are visibly uncomfortable. I also never minded if they read fanfics on them as long as they weren't minors or anything. Like what is everyone else's thoughts on shipping?

There's this guy I've been pretty close friends with for about 8 years (and I also am best buddies with his younger brother but thats irrelevant)

Now about 3 - 4 years ago I noticed he had a crush on me, he started doing me a lot of favours, often asked if I wanted to watch an anime or movie with him, always wanted to do stuff I want to do and a lot of other stuff which got more advanced...
In one instance my best bud even said 'He has a crush on you!' to which he got flustered and said 'No I don't!' and I was like in the room trying to play along and be like 'Lol nAh he doesn't-'

The thing is, he's pretty kind and all but I never liked him back that way, I always thought of him as a chill brother more than anything (And I also was gaying for my female best friend-)
I very much knew he had a crush on me and so I pretended to be totally oblivious to it because I couldn't bring myself to talk to him about it but at the same time I also felt really guilty for letting him live in that false hope

Fastforward to 2020 and uh he still has a crush on me and tries to make advances which make me feel pretty uncomfy mostly because well...
I have a girlfriend now-
And I'm not sure how to bring that up to him, especially when I don't want to break his heart because he really is a cool person

Soo what should I do?

(And I know the title might be a bit misleading but Idk a better one oof)

I definitely think there's not enough people in this fandom and I just made this to, idk promote it? Anyway it's an otome game and it's really fun. Idk what else to say except you should definitely play it!!!! And for anyone who has, let's talk about iiiitttt. Idk anyone in real life who has, so I wouldn't mind discussing it here! Like who's your favourite troupe/characters? If I had to choose, I'd say my favourites troupe is Autumn and my favourite characters are pretty much everyone ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I'm a bi girl, but to be honest I don't really give a fuck about the gender or sex of a person if they can laugh and have a good time with me :)

Most of the yaoi manga are all about non-consenting sex or the plot is all about sex. If it's not about sex, try to remplace one of the characters with a female and you'll feel like reading a cringey shoujo. There's only a few of good/ god-tier yaoi mangas. :)
