While true, straight homophobic guys certainly won’t fetishize gay men

im not homophobic and you sure as shit wouldn’t catch me doing that either

so I think including “homophobic” weakens your point not strengthens it

Yeah willow said the same as me. I dont think we’re all on the same page as to what we’re talking about here. Thats why i was so cautious coz i feel like i might have completely misunderstood marluna’s topic. We can imagine very different things when we read “straight people hating on yaoi”

i think its nuanced cuz its anime but i feel like its probably a case of “oh two things im attracted to kissing” is maybe something some people like idk

i think also a lot of people like romance in general such as i, but i understand why straight men/women arent super interested in seeing like yaoi/yuri cuz its not really their cup of tea. and if we’re using the definitions literally yaoi is considered r-18 which i understand more. like normal gay art is pretty chill but i understand not wanting to see sexual undertones on main. if i got something wrong from this chat oops

It’s because there’s too many men in media who are practically in love regardless so the people want something new

#27872

I did watch alot alot of straight love stories (I’m coining this term) and I kind of didn’t like it as much, usually it has tropes that makes the whole romance melodramatic and/or horny when I want a more romantic build-up.

I wasn’t talking about homophobic people. (They are a different category.)
Specially, I talked about everyone else, beside homophobic straight people.

Including straight men, straight women and lesbians. And most of them almost universally hate yaoi, but like yuri, while they are denying being homophobic.

(Gay men have a bit more tolerance towards yaoi, but even a big chunk of them appreciate a yuri story, while most lesbians just hating on yaoi.)

#27874

yeah man this is a you-specific experience

example: the overwhelming majority of fics on ao3 are m/m ships. like, more than m/f and f/f combined iirc
