Every time I look at the question thing, it always people fighting over whether or not fujoshi's are fetishizing gay men and shit. And yes, they are, they are sexually attracted to gay men, but does that fucking matter?
Why the fuck do we care so much, people either think they do or think they don't. Despite having different views on the situation, none of us choose to respect the fact that not everyone will agree with your point of view. Instead, we choose to fight and shit.
I get it, fujoshi's get shit for fetishizing men, but for some reason, men don't? Yuri and lesbian porn are one of the most searched things on Pornhub and considered a normal porn category, yet nobody thinks it's fetishization. The double standards on this are fucking ridiculous.
At the same time, there are people who wish they were gay men so that they can be fucked or fuck another dude... like.... wtf lol don't tell me that. From the LGBTQ+ point of view, a large number(not all) of these fujoshies only care about the sex, but when it comes to actual LGBTQ+ rights, they don't really give a shit (this happens mainly in conservative countries, and I've talked to people of both sides, those that sexualize but don't care about the LGBT and those that are victims of the sexualization (ie. being shipped by fujoshi's around them with another dude)) Yet again not everyone is like that, but from the LGBTQ+ community, or even those that are not part of the community that believes that its sexualization, it can be perceived as that. And I believe the main reason they are uncomfortable with it (at least I am) is because of this.
Even then, we gotta acknowledge that yaoi, in particular, is a genre made to fetishize gay men (although shonen-ai is not). Those that are against it and those that not are choose to read yaoi, a genre that is nothing but gay sex... like come on... what did you expect. So technically, none of us are completely right, we are fighting over something that is meant to be sexualized... The authors of these stories' target demographic is fujishi's... so technically the authors are also in the wrong.
Anyways, thanks for listening to my ted talk~

being attracted or not to gay men is natural, but it does matter if they are blatantly fetishising mlm. its not just a matter of point of views when gay individuals are actually affected by it. we have a right to speak out and be heard.
and dudes that get off to lesbian porn DO get bashed for it. rather, its considered creepier than a woman fetishizing gay men for some reason. thats why theres a whole ass community of fujoshis who feel no shame for fetishising mlm.
i dont get what ur trying to point out there. that we just shouldn't argue with same sex relationship fetishists?
porn is meant to be sexualised, yeah, but not mlm or wlw relationships irl. i agree with when you said authors are in the wrong as well as mlm fetishists. lots of these authors are fujoshis too though
