are you guys aware that only consuming boy's love (or yaoi) especially with sex scenes, is kind of fetishizng?

I've tried to bring up this topic in the past, but people didn't take it good. I'm not gonna shame you guys but I hope you guys are aware if that's the only content you are consuming. The same thing goes to girl's love. I disagree with the debate that reading bl (especially those with sex scenes) is empowering women. And I know it's kind of hard to see that it is completely wrong as a few years back I was the same way with the same mentality. It is completely wrong and fetishizing to only refer to the couple in the media as seme/tops/ukes/bottoms, it seems that you don't even view the couple as human and only a sex symbol of sorts. It is completely okay to consume the content, but if it's an obsessive thing, if you make it your only personality trait, and only consuming 18+ content then you need to slow down and rethink.

I honestly didn't know if I should ask this question because people may misunderstand my intentions of posting this. I'm only posting this question as to kind of make people aware and they learn from it.

I hope what I said doesn't seem negative (like if I writing this down with a rude voice.) or derogatory.

I want to know your guy's opinions and pov's/experience's to get a better understanding.

    No need to be rude about it. And some people do. They didn’t mean it in an offending way and just wanted to share their opinion and get opinions back
