How do you feel about Yaoi & the misrepresentation of LGBT community in media? [Answer]

it's fine to read and enjoy yaoi, as long as you're aware it isn't reality. like a lot of manga and anime, it's a hypersexualized representation about 90% of the time, and that's not even including all of the abusive and freakin weird tropes (i mean all the pedophillia phew) but regardless it's a form of media, and manga, no less. when it does cros......   1 reply

Great. Please make all porn illegal while we're at it. Porn objectifies women - harms women. Where is the progress there? Fujoshi aren't fetishizing gay men. We're looking at pictures. We don't want to look at gay men. Gay men aren't sweeping romance stories and novels. The lives of gay men aren't made difficult by chicks looking at photos. They......   4 reply

I'm gay and I enjoy yaoi. I don't take it very seriously, it's light-heated or angsty romance with the occasional smut. It's rare for a yaoi manga to seriously tackle LGBT issue and I don't really expect it anyway. It's fantasy. As for fetishizing, I honestly don't care. The flaws and tropes I see in yaoi are prevalent in a lot manga. Just look at......   2 reply

There are a few problems I have with yaoi and how it present LGBT community, but nonetheless I still like it. One of the biggest problems are the roles during sex scenes in yaoi. I've read maybe 2 or 3 yaoi mangas that characters were versatile and not exclusively top or bottom (I read a lot, you can check on my profile). I myself am versatile, my......   2 reply

Yaoi fetishizing gay men is a percieved problem, not a real one. Yaoi readers aren't only straight girls. In fact, it originally had nothing to do with men, and was created by queer women to bypass gender roles and explore other types of sexuality. The real problem is that, like most other manga genres, nost content is supremely mysogynistic.   7 reply

I am of the opinion that as long as the reader knows it is fictional and should not be reenacted in real life then people are just assuming that yaoi fans all like to fetishize gay people. There are some people who ship real life people in that sense and I am against that but that does not mean everyone in a generalized sense should be insulted or ......   reply

I think that yaoi does largely misrepresent the lgbtq+ community. It is used to appeal to women who enjoy male/male relationships, which is made glaring obvious by the fact that the genre “bara” exists. My problem with people who read yaoi is that a large number of them that I know in passing, are largely ignorant about the lgbtq+ community and......   1 reply

Most girls who read BL/Yaoi aren't "fetishizing" gay relationships. They enjoy the idea of romance, but most don't look into straight romance because when there's a girl involved they start to self insert. In a BL comic there's no girl, meaning no need to feel concerned. Another point to come across is two guys. Girls obviously like guys, whether y......   1 reply

I'm a lesbian who had read far far more BL than i could ever count, it's in the 800 range, maybe more... and yaoi specifically is meant to be pornographic and tantalizing. for the most part i don't find the problem of fetishization to be with the actual mangas themselves but the people who consume it. most straight girls who read BL are pretty chi......   reply

Let's first say this: fetishizing is never a positive thing, no matter what we're talking about. So yeah, I think some people can obsess over yaoi and get a really wrong idea of the world it should represent. But... well, personally, I was actually drawn in by the first BL stories I read and that's how I came to know more about the LGBT community (......   reply
