To the peeps who came for the yaoi tag and stayed for it too

I can’t presume anyone’s sexualities here, but as an avid yaoi reader, a lot of the readers are straight females. Most of the time it’s this over the top fetishisation of gay men that attracted them to the story. This isn’t to say everyone who reads yaoi is like this. I know there are gay men, bi women, even lesbians who read yaoi, but this has always been a problems with this community. The fact that people clicked on this manga, knowing very dang well it’s a gender bend and josei expecting mostly yaoi scenes, kind of proves this point of the community over fetishising gay men and their relationships. To make it clear, yes, josei genderbends do tend to end in a yaoi couple, but the matter of the fact is, gender bend is a fetish in itself. I personally don’t understand wanting it to be all yaoi, as a bi women especially. Not to mention there are TONS of quick paces yaoi with similar art styles and half baked plots. Just saying, if you’re offended by people saying you’re fetishising gay men, that’s a you thing, not a me thing.

    Funny how you say freedom of speech then proceed to get upset at me for speaking my opinion and the genuine concerns of the LGBTQ+ community. Funny how you bring up yaoi rape when I never even brought that up, ... Cherub

    But I'm nooooooooot that's the thing I'm not angry at all and you did bring up rape ( ̄∇ ̄") I would quote out if this site had the function and I'm not you're saying at the end of the day I'm a horrible person for being sexually attracted to gay men I hear you loud and clear but you don't get to tell me what I'm sexually attracted to as if I can just flip a switch and turn it off it doesn't work that way attraction, sexual desire, feelings none of that works that way

    To a certain extent, yes. So, by this, I’ll take it that you think pedophilia is completely okay because they just can’t help being sexually attracted to minors. Oh, and people who are attracted to animals ... Cherub

    Actually thank you for brining this up cause I didn't want to be the first to do it No being a pedo is not ok cause children are not old enough and don't have the brain capacity to get those type of emotion BUT even so pedos still exists cause their brains are different In a way that makes it hard for them to control that sexual attraction and some fuck up and touch kids and go to jail like they should but there are some people who are pedos live with it every day and don't touch kids but that doesn't mean that attraction isn't there.

    I think it's more problematic when people wants yaoi where there's no place for it to happen.No Holes Barred for exemple. notTexas

    Also wait... no holes barred has yaoi in it...? Damn and I thought I’d finally found a decent josei where the girl tops... sigh
