You’re reading a genre that you like. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s just like liking action or Drama :)
If it starts affecting your real life outlook (like, you start shipping straight males together and whatever) then yeah it’s bad but otherwise it’s just like any other kind of porn, sexualized for its target audience. But, a word of advice- don’t tell anyone you read it. You will be filleted like a fish.
exactly.... then why're they making a fuss over it??.. i don't really understand... it kinda makes me feel guilty.....?.. like i shouldn't read it ....? does it harm anyone....?
No guy. You are not doing anything wrong. It is just a genre.
It’s not a problem if you’re able to differentiate between fiction and reality :) It doesn’t harm anyone as long as you’re able to do that.
No, you're allowed to read and enjoy BL without being tagged as a 'fujoshi' or in a guy's case, 'fudanshi'.
Found this informative tweet a few weeks back. Might be a good read if you want to learn about fujoshis. Never bothered to double check the facts but it was interesting.

I think it's mainly bc people now see the term "yaoi" and "yuri" as some cringy thing from 5 years ago. I see a lot of people tell about them (manga and those who read them) on tumblr and about how it's basically homophobic since you're just romanticizing gays. As a gay person, I get it, most bl I come across is... Not that great when it comes to characters and story and will focus on sex. But then there some that are great even if they focused on sex. Everything about some bl/gl manga are well written and mature but bc it's a "yaoi" or a "yuri" people now just write it off bc of cring culture. Honestly, there's so difference in reading Always Raining Here and Go for it, Nakamura! but since one's carrying a yaoi title tumblr fucks will make a fuss
?? It's like supporting gay rights.
Some people don't like it.
Some people do like it.
You're allowed to like what you like.
You aren't hurting anybody by reading a genre of comics online.
"then why're they making a fuss over it??"
...because they're @ssholes??
I'd like to ask the American government why they don't believe that an adult human being should be allowed to marry an adult human being of the same gender or different race but I'm pretty sure that we will never be able to find an answer for that question... -.-
Anyways, I don't think you should feel guilty about it. Who cares about what you read, there is a bunch of people out there that are so much worse. There are people who murder other people because they were bored. You reading a comic about a topic of the real world, which is slowly becoming more acceptable, isn't something to stress about. You do you boo.
I'm sorry to hear that, if you ever join a GSA or some form of lgbt support group, they'll be a lot more cool about it. ( Speaking from experience.)
WOAH I never knew that. I personally don't ship ppl irl unless they're fictional (NO ONE can tell me that Neville and Luna weren't perfect).
I’ve been bullied to shit for saying I read bl. I guess everyone has different experiences, tho.
Its not bad at all!! Its just a topic you like to read about! Honestly if you enjoy reading it then just read what you like to do! Dont stop reading because you think its bad. Its not. These type of stories just offer storys we cant get with other typea
As long as you’re not hurting yourself or someone else. Do whatever the fuck you want, feel free to read this type of stuff.
Duh ... people will just judge everything... so if you can't stand the stupid comments then you should be careful who you tell...buuut in the end people will judge you for your hair and nose and whatnot so it doesnt matter :D just do what you enjoy
I'm a guy and I've been reading it for 3 years
Hello. By chance you know the name of a Yaoi manga where there is a popular student who falls in love at the first sight of a thin, short, white-haired student who wears glasses, is a very good student and lived with his mother.
Is the popular student one of the heirs of a hospital?
Is there a time the white-haired boy uses a yukata? a kimono? that the other considers feminine.
Lol sorry but no. It sounds very interesting tho
Oh :"( anyway thanks.
guys i'm so freaking confused!!! is reading yaoi bad???
as a boy i enjoy it ... i read all these comments about "foujoshi" or smth (not really sure what it means..) most of them say that if you read yaoi then that means you hate the real thing ... like WTF how can i read it in the first place if i hate them.. i don't understand.. really .. what's going on??? Am i not supposed to read yaoi??
