When did I say that was the most negative?
Those comments can be seen as lighthearted. Usually, a warning appears in the beginning so you won't need to worry about it too much.
I'm working on a position paper about this so I can adequately convey both my thoughts and the research. I'll share it when I'm done. It's actually kind of complicated to explain. I want to make it car, however, that liking and reading yaoi isn't inherently bad. Cultural issues arise from all forms of media. I don't think anyone should feel guilty for enjoying yaoi. Seriously, I don't, and I realize I may have come off that way, and that was my bad. I also think there are positive things in yaoi. I enjoy yaoi, even if I do not consider myself a die- hard fujoshi. I know these discussions csn make people feel uncomfortable. My background revolves around facing the uncomfortable, so I'm used to it and I sometimes forget how uncomfortable it is to think about that stuff for the first time. However, cultures and societies grow by facing and discussing these things. When it comes to Social Psychology, you literally find this stuff everywhere. As social animals trying to make sense of the world around us, our brains are hard-wired to simplify information so we can process it all efficiently. It's very interesting how this all occurs. None of us are immune, myself included. Becoming aware and checking ourselves is important in being socially aware and responsible member of society. Acknowledging these things is not for the blame game. Keep enjoying yaoi. Keep having fun. That's great! But when things come to light about the ways that various media cause problems for minority groups, talk about it and address it. And as you mentioned before, maintain awareness for the good messages yaoi sends. It does send good messages too. It's important to be aware of all these factors when indulging in delightful media binges. Not the whole time, of course. Have fun most of the time, but check in intellectually every so often.
The original comments here came off like people were saying enjoying yaoi is "problematic" and that these people who read yaoi are bad, etc and I think that's how the argument got started seeing as we get told everything we enjoy is "problematic" and it can create disagreements. I also disagree with the comments that say enjoying yaoi is somehow bad. Someone said that yaoi is for more mature audiences and I agree with that person because then mature people can understand more deeply about what they are reading and it's okay to be a critic while still loving something. There are many parts of some yaoi mangas that I disagree with while I still love to read yaoi because it's fun and causes me to relax, something about coming home and reading a really good manga about people falling in love and showing their love. I do think it becomes a problem when people distort reality but that can come with everything. We can make everything seem like an issue when looked through the wrong eyes.
oooh wow now i wanted in english please!!! ahhahahaa
