I mean... while I get not to tell anyone else cuz they're religious but was this made out of her interest in BL? Or cuz of her support for LGBT? I mean it could be both sure, but it doesn't necessarily mean she's into BL? Just she thinks same-sex couples are a-okay. Idk if that makes sense. Probably should first suss out what kind of stuff she watches. Like ask her about the cartoons she watches, anime, etc. If she's really a shipper or BL fan, you'll find out pretty easily based on how she talks about it. Otherwise not sure how you can control it if she doesn't live with you and has access to the internet lol good luck
omll i have this same worry about one of my younger cousins i would say u should lightly warn them but that could also lead to them getting curious and wanting to see themselves whats so bad so its a bit of a sticky situation
Honestly, just be cautious and aware of what they are dling and discovering. My life took a downhill not because of BL but because of some crazy perverted adults on the internet preying on children and spreading porn. Have them avoid anything over their age limit and also let them know that there shouldn’t be a bored feeling too it. Avoid letting her fetishize anything as well as keep her in the mindset all relationships can be interesting with the right people and stories. I used to think that straight was boring too, but now I know it’s just the things I was exposing myself too. Try ans let her know that she should agoid telling adults, but not in an aggressive secretive way, this way she won’t keep secrets regularly. Encourage her to consider what others believe and understand not everyone feels the same way as her. Idk what else to say haha
Maybe you should recommend family friendly BLs to them first. And make an effort to talk to them about the stuff that they read or want to read and explain to them that some contents on this genre aren’t really for her age things like that. This is to protect her as well and avoid getting traumatized.
I would teach a younger cousin just the basic rules about internet safety and the dangers. As for the BL teach a bit of lgbt history or the basics of one at a older age should know. A lot of BLs show the only good parts and not the reality. It is better for your religious relatives don’t know about this and I like that she’s open minded at such age. I like the recommendation comment but you can’t be able to monitor someone 24/7. As long as they’re self aware of what their doing and talk to her since you’re the only one that knows if she ever comes across something to ask you. I’m assuming anything sex/sexuality is barely brought up in a religious household.
HI, I wanna ask for your advice regarding my sweet adorable niece whom I love sooo much.(≧∀≦) *AhemAhem, so the thing is- my niece is ten years old and I last met her a few weeks ago at a marriage ceremony and we talked a lot and she showed me a gacha video that she made herself...
I was watching it attentively And I saw two guy talks and the guy said, “I gotta go, have a date to catch” I was like ok. (●'◡'●)ﾉ Then, the date he meant has a boyish name so I just shrugged it off but then both of them started flirting with each other by calling themselves each other's man and boyfriend [the cringe cringy thing ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ ]. And I froze-I mean I am a multishipper and have an open minded and even watch/read a variety of genres [including shounen ai] but-bUt I’m scared my niece is going to be like me. I ask her calmly [while my brain is having a rollercoaster ride], “Are both of them a guy?” and she nodded and said, “Yes, i’m bored with girlxboy '' while she looked at me with a chuckle.
I told her to not tell anyone else about that other than me as my whole bloodline is too insanely religious [both my dad and mom’s side] and I just don’t want her to end like the fucked-up me!! I’m not ashamed of myself, I just don’t want her to be like me. (￣ε(#￣)Σ Once she discovers a various thing in “that” genre at that “age” there’s no possible way out of it. [If you understand what I meant] Please, please advise me on how to help her take it easy and how to help me expose the genre one at the time from phase-to-phase at her age.┗( T﹏T )┛
Btw, It’s not like I strictly don’t want her to hate that genre [I’m quite happy actually; I know I shouldn't feel like this], but I just want her to take it slow and learn it step-by-step. I don’t want her to go through shitty and fucked-up things like mine [you probably wouldn’t want to know it as I know a lot of fucked-up things much much more younger due to an accident]. So pretty please help me. ╥﹏╥
