reading bl isnt fetishizing

i can't believe we're having this conversation AGAIN, butttttttt yeah.....

but it isn't!!! believe it or not!!!!

let me educate you on some things that fetishizers do!!! if you don't do these when reading bl, then congratulations. you're not a fetishizer!!

-read bl for gay sex

-don't read anything except gay smut

-wanting to be gay to have gay sex

-asking gay men personal questions, like "whos top and bottom?"

-being weird around gay men

-only reading yaoi and bl, and refusing to read sl or gl because "it has no flavor!!"

-being one of those weirdos who thinks a story would be better if it were two guys (foh youre nasty)

there's such a long list, but i don't want to make this super long. of COURSE there are people who fetishize mlm that read bl. i think everyone should know this. but literally just READING bl because it's romance, or it's lgbt is fine, and idk on what planet it wouldn't be. this is one of those "not everyone" moments. there are some nasty weirdos out there that ask gay men if they use a fucking dildo of course, but it's like saying everyone who reads bl is like that.

this is more so a response to that one stupid ass person that said reading bl and yaoi is fetishizing but they have "even if you don't love me" (painter of the night 2.0!!!!!) in their reading list. not to mention they have like....... alot of bl and yaoi in their reading list. like cool dude, read what u want to read, but thats like contradicting yourself alot.

they had a good message i guess, but totally executed wrong. good on them for calling out the weirdos in a way, but not every reader is a weirdo lol!!! i dont give 2 shits what gay men do in their daily life and sexual life pls theyre literally just like any other person. bl is fiction. just don't apply fiction to reality!!!
