How do you think yaoi impacted you?
Any yaoi/bl/shounen ai/etc
For me, it brought attention to the LGBT community, which I previously never really thought of. It also opened my eyes to a lot of misconceptions, discriminations, and problems there are. Of course, it should be understood that yaoi shouldn't serve as the poster for the LGBT community, nor is it entirely accurate. But it has changed my perspective. With that, I think it has to do a lot with your own personal self and how you respond to things.
Also, is a guilty pleasure for me. I ain't a kinky bean or thirsty nugget. Really. Really.
Jokes aside, it goes so much deeper than porn mostly. The art and storyline combine to create masterpieces. There's so much to learn from everything. If you just open your mind, you can find it.
Yaoi made me realise made me chalenge the way moral restrains us.
For instance, i can't stand shotacon, i don't like rape as part of any storytelling and i really wish it would never be presented as "casual" or used like an escalator to intimacy and even less love. These are moral values that i still want to embrace.
But yaoi raised my awareness ......
