#yaoi is for straight women

[mynamese]

cancellable take, but for some reason i feel like im the only one who can distinguish fanfic yaoi from gay men? like people are actually shocked when irl gay men arnet stereotypes? bruh its so easy to distinguish them look:

my fanfic yaoi ""gays"" is just a het relationship where theyre both men but one has a vag.

the gay couple down the street from me are human real life people and so i see and treat them as human real life people.

#fandom #proship #yaoi is for straight women #and gays are for gays #learn the difference

Helluva Boss creators and fans love boasting about how it's THE Queer show for the queers!! Yet the representation is very...limited to say the least.

Ok so there are two very minor trans characters, there are gay men who love cock, there's a pansexual who loves sex but mostly cock and uhhhh cock jokes. Lesbians, non-binary people, asexuals, and sooo many more are missing from this very diverse group of people. If you're someone who doesn't like seeing men's genitelia every two minutes, you're not gonna feel represented or aroused.

I'm not saying you're obliged to make sure everyone's represented, that would be kinda impossible. But don't pride yourself in being LGBTQ+'s dream show when it's obviously not.

If offending homophobes is your goal, you don't need gay sex to do that. We're outrageous to them for simply existing. You can achieve this just by having a character that isn't straight or cis.

#also it's very surface level like does Viv think we're just all about fucking? #helluva boss critical #helluva boss criticism #vivziepop critical #spindlehorse criticism #spindlehorse critical #let's be honest it's not made for us it's made for yaoi obsessed straight women #created by yaoi obsessed woman

In 2013 straight girls would watch Hannibal in its entirety and give this warning to their friends.

its time for yuri where the only male character in it is a florist whos only role is to give advice and have comedic lines. its time

#if i gotta see it in yaoi with women i gotta see it in yuri #yuri #‘but you’re always around that guy so i thought maybe u were straight’ #‘first of all he’s my best friend second of all he’s a bear’ #yknow it

[coldgoldlazarus]

Thinking again about how original Trigun wasn't exactly a beacon of feminism but Stampede somehow regressed harder

#not a reblog #trigun #no wonder its turned into a yaoi series in people's eyes #cause they just straight up removed and demoted the women

Ok but here's also some shit I remember about Yakuza 4 that absolutely tickles me

Akiyama is a stupid slut who thinks a single row of books is enough to hide his big money vault; that he has more chemistry with Arai and Tanimura than Yasuko (the girl he's pining over because he looks like his old crush that he somehow hasn't gotten over yet); and that Mack called him a "washed up p0rnstar". He is hilarious when he's not being creepy to Yasuko.

One of Akiyama's revelations involves a panty thief falling off a building in slow motion to overly dramatical classical music as underwear flies everywhere (or something like that)

Nair was the best character in the game and deserved her own spinoff

Hana deserved better than [gestures to the entire game] this

Some random, non-Majima related Saejima things: his mentor makes him punch rocks in some underground tunnels to get stronger; he pulls out a big chunk of wood and starts carving whenever he has a revelation; the developers thought Kido - a Wocky Kitoky ass looking kid - would make a good final boss for him; the scene where he finally reunites with his old oyabun is absolutely devastating

considerin you remember more akiyama stuff the most i think if we wrangled that other anon who remembered stuff about saejima and we get two more people who remembered more abuot kiryu and tanimura we can make a vague composite of Y4's plot

#snap chats #youre so right about akiyama and Everyone But Yasuko tho its so funny #RGG not being able to write women leads to things like this where straight people just cant exist #arai and akiyama are literally yaoi divorced idc about akiyamas ex #SPEAKING OF THO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT ? LIT WHAT WAS THE POINT #IS IT SO HE'D HELP HER CAUSE I THOUGHT HE JUST DOES THAT ANYWAY #see this is why we ignore Y4 akiyama a fuckin weirdo in it but in Y5 he's the best uncle you could ask for #at least until Y6 then where the FUCK was he when haruka was alone #wait help i just remembered the akiyama fight fro Y6 and i love how if the fight goes on long enough #akiyama's just :(( Kiryu Please I Dont Want To Fight You :((( #i forgot to make an appreciation post for that whole fight my god what is wrong with me #im so off topic anyway yeah youre right i remember the underground boulder fist fighting too <3 #HANA DID DESERVE BETTER THOUGH SHE'S LITERALLY TOO GOOD FOR THIS SERIES #why the fuck they make her skinny in ishin boys we riot

if you make their genders weird enough any relationship can be yuri or perhaps even yaoi

#morrisounds #thinking about bonnie and ruben #they're literally the bi4bi man who likes women in a gay way/woman who likes men in a gay way #i need to make my ocs genders weirder #whatever gun has going on is pretty good she makes his relationship straight AND yuri AND yaoi #i'll have to see who can get weirder later

I saw this tag on a post with a screenshot from twitter of a gay man talking about fujoshis and I'm going to kill and maim and bite now

#the owner of the blog doesnt have any personal info listed but theyre a yaoi blog and one of their posts says #'gay men stole yaoi from straight women' #murdering you with my teeth #rambling

[total-drama-takes]

Does anyone know what Ramona actually did to piss off lady lulys? She's added a DNI for Ramona "supporters" onto her blog and keeps posting about how she's a whore and a slut???

im fairly sure she's just mad b/c they got her kicked off of td takes 2 tbh

#ironic how lulys will play the feminism card when people say straight women into yaoi is harmful #but will use misogynistic words against people she doesnt like #really showing her true colours there #ask #lore

[guideaus]

does good bl exist. im not asking for recommendations lol, but i saw "our Dining Table" on my dash and it reminded me that one kinda blew my mind. like ive read better fanfic and i think it had a high rating on mal (which i generally trust more than anime sites?) do only fujoshis rate these series, or what. i read that after My Brother's husband, too and that made it more laughable

#personal #im gonna exclude danmei for now #given was ok before it was awful and straight back into some yaoi shit #uhh i read sasaki and miyano and the manga at least was bearable #fucking boy meets maria. i will never ever say how much i regret reading that and it was just awful. strongly discourage anyone from readin #i read that alongside a fucking manga abt a teen on death row and that wasnt as bad #i am so serious. and no ao3 donators come in w that attitude like that person when i complained abt a silent voice #anyways idk what else there is. #i understand why its like that too. its absolutely more made for cishet women that either wanna see cute or to sexualize gay men #and also the history early bl but im like. still? in 2023??

[faerociousbeast]

i honestly thought there would be more sports related ones but theres a surprising lack. perhaps theres more out in the wild

#i dont know much about sports anyway so this is fine #personality wise theyre actually doing surprisingly well with development in more than i expected #very few guys who are just. Tropes yk. they have some amount of dimension #treatment of women..... definitely could be better. way too many bitter exes and actresses ruining reputations and evil stepmoms. #the rest just go OMGG 0///0 Yaoi?! in. real life like they see the main characters and say that which. Alright then. cool #there are a couple of assistant girls in a few series i really like though theyre just chilling #other series straight up just dont Have women... where did they go..... is this the world of the gays? #men are being gay AND going off to war wow. inherent human experience?

#im once again asking that if you create an x reader then please. specifiy if this is for a fem reader. #bc u cant just say 'x reader' and then halfway thru make a comment on what an afab person has #reasons why fandom is unavailable to non-cis women #all i want is a good male x reader that isnt straight out of a yaoi manga is that too much to ask #not assassin's creed

[stardustcrusaders]

the best yaoi is written by straight men who don't know they're writing yaoi and the best yuri is written by lesbian women who want to inflict you with a brain disorder

The straight woman is unsatisfied with straight studio porn. She wants to get off to something in which the actors actually emote and show passion beyond canned moans from the women and, at best, vacant grunts from the men. She turns to gay porn. She knows it's not "for her," but neither was the straight porn, and at least the actors look like they're enjoying themselves. And for a short while she is satiated by Sean Cody et al, but she runs into the same problems she had to begin with. She was not looking at sex but a simulacrum of sex, trapped in Plato's cave. Unsatisfied, she turned to vintage gay porn, harkening to a time when most gay bars still had darkrooms and reliably smelled of piss and Amyl Nitrite. Here was the real thing, in all its animalistic passion. But she still couldn't immerse herself in the fantasy. She wanted the media to engage with her own imagination and meet her half-way, rather than having it spoonfed to her onscreen. She turned to yaoi, with its elongated figures reminiscent of mannerist portraiture, then bara, including hardcore BDSM scenes. But the tactile sensations depicted in the pages didn't do justice to their real life counterparts. She turned deeper into her own imagination, this time reading erotica. No, not the poolside paperbacks sold at Barnes and Noble. The good shit. Why then, was she still not satisfied? She dug deeper, searching for the true meaning of eroticism. She studied the psychoanalysis of Freud, the cultural criticism of Susan Sontag, the feminist poetry of Audre Lorde. She took vacation time and flew to Europe, starting at the caves of Lascaux to explore the human urge to create, then traversed the Camino de Santiago on foot, along the way meeting a 56 year old carpenter from Burgos named Andrés, with whom she had an explosive affair. They both knew it couldn't last, which made them cherish each other's touch all the more. Upon flying home, she gave up. If her search for true eroticism never bore fruit this whole time, why would it now? It would take years before she stumbled upon the answer by pure happenstance: dubstep.

the rise in fujishis is so weird and the fact that theres gay men defending them is whatever but from the perspective of another gay man can we maybe stop doing things to deliberately make gay people uncomfortable via yaoi. thatd be awesome

#not tagging this with anything because if people start yaoi d/scourse with me ill kill myself #ive been seeing a lot of this though and i think its really weird #“im not reading it to fetishize/disrespect gays” and then when gay people tell you to keep it away or that they still find it strange #you start intentionally being disrespectful to them. thats strange #like im so incredibly sorry that i dont want to talk to people who read insanely fetishistic content created BY STRAIGHT WOMEN #FOR STR IGH T WOMEN #start supporting gay authors if you really want to consume gay content. it is honestly the least you can do
