Look, I'm a horny fujoshi too, but the plot's interesting. There's plenty of BL smut out there for us to gorge on.

There were a lot of comments complaining about how it was too much of a slow burner it was on the romance side. I meant I sympathise, being a fujoshi too, but encourage fellow readers to enjoy the story.
I also don't fetishise gay men; there's a big difference between BL and actual gay men, as weird as that sounds.

Since when does being horny= fetish?
watching any type of porn to jerk off is also a fetish then? The person basically said yeah they like smut and they like yaoi but it's no reason to hate on a slow burn, but you come in and jump off your conclusion cliff and call them a fetishizer. That's hella disrespectful

Thank-you Kiki, you're very kind.
I don't mind a slow burner romance if it's supported by a fascinating story and characters. I'm enjoying the many mysteries and world-building. There's more to this than the romance. I'd read this without the budding romance. It reminds me of 'I wasn't Cinderella' which isn't BL.

Lmao you’re joking right? The whole point flew over your head. A fujoshi is a WOMAN being over obsessed with GAY material and getting off of it. This does not apply to a man jerking of to a woman or the opposite. Here I’ll give you the definition of what fetishized means it took me 5 seconds. make (something) the object of a sexual fetish or to have an excessive and irrational commitment to or obsession with (something). OP labeled themselves as a “horny fujoshi” this literally implies she is horny for BL material. I’m not trying to argue with you I’m just educating you and I hope you don’t take it the wrong way. And I also don’t saying I hated slow burn?

Dude while I can't say every girl who calls themselves a fujojoshi is not a pervert
I can tell you most bl is written and read by women not because they're fetishists but because it's either cute or if they're straight it's twice the amount of hot dudes in comparison to straight smut
Girls who read bl mostly aren't going to watch real gay porn or ever fantasize with gay men in real life
Also it's a weird hill to die on instead of fighting stranger girls on mangago why not fight homophobes on Twitter

I agree with you in the first part. But in my comment the last part I said if it’s not that i apologize and that i was explaining from my perspective. I don’t remember saying anything hateful to you or anyone. Or trying to bash you for being a weird pervert? I was just trying to educate some of the people down in the comments who were taking it the wrong way

“Dude while I can't say every girl who calls themselves a fujojoshi is not a pervert“ that is exactly why I though OP was weird when they inserted “horny”. But they cleared it up and told me it’s only a liking to that genre and I’ve apologized to them.
I’ven heard and seen strangers and friends denying they’re weird and still watch and read gay porn. No one calls themselves a fujoshi anymore unless you only read it for the smut or what I’ve seen online. But what I’m trying to say is that a lot of them tend to deny it even thought they jerk off to it. Which that is really weird imo. Anyways i didn’t try to argue if you read my comment i said i was trying to educate them on the definition of the words. I don’t remember saying anything hateful to anyone. Am I wrong for that then?

I won't deny there's an element of fetishization, but the issue may be more with idealization. I can separate BL from real homosexual relationships because BL doesn't represent reality. They're gay relationships through a mostly feminine lens, so we neatly have a top and bottom as the norm, with the bottom taking the role of the female. Probably why omegaverse is so popular and many of us long to see what the couple's children would look like - even if it's not omegaverse.
This is just my perspective, of course. Anyway, I'm not offended, its been good conversation.

It was the fetishistic angle, as if I was dehumanizing. I actually get bored if there's too much smut without context. For example I'm a fan of Love Shuttle, but zone out when a chapter or plus is just smut. I like smut with meaning, otherwise I wouldn't discern between titles.
My initial comment was meant to be jovial and I didn't want my fellow readers to feel attacked for my concern that they weren't engaged with the story and only cared for the romance aspect.
I know it's kinda creepy, but I wanna see where it goes. The older guy knows it's wrong and isn't budging, plus he doesn't seem attracted, and the younger one is super innocent, so there's room for development for the future if you want to go there. The horny young friend is pretty fun as he sees what's happening while the other's don't.
