Why attack people about yaoi?
First, I would like to add that manga is a form of entertainment that is made for people to enjoy. And that's the foreword lol.
I like to believe that the people on mangago are pretty chill. We just read manga, make a comment about it, then move on. But some take it to another level, where it seems like it's bad to read yaoi or yuri but that isn't the intention. And I would like to point out a few things about that.
- The wording
- The topic
- The aggression
No one likes being talked to as if they are in the wrong and will always be in the wrong. Most of the time people will lash out at others when talked to as such. So why word things in a way that you know or think might make others upset? And if a topic is touchy or sensitive, don't go there unless you are sure you won't hurt or get hurt. Just don't be aggressive. If you attack and attack and attack, the people reading will feel angry and maybe even oppressed. Be gentle, talk as if talking to a child, but not condescendingly.
It shouldn't be wrong to enjoy yaoi, or yuri, or just manga in general. You have the freedom to choose what to like or dislike, and you can have your own opinions about it. But why attack others about what you don't agree with?
Whew, this was long. As kind people say, "Love everyone" and "innocent until proven guilty.'' I just noticed a lot of toxic questions recently and felt that it could have been handled better. Tell me what you think? Anything to add? Anything you disagree with? I'll try to respond as objectively as possible, so don't worry.
hey! speaking as a queer person the issue with yaoi is the rampant fetishization of gay people and queer issues. rape, pedophilia and incest is uncomfortably common in this genre. i don't have an inherent issue with people reading/consuming it but i am always wary when a young person or a straight/cis person tells me they're really in to it. more o......
