[the stupid queerphobic ass shit people say on the internet] stares dead eyed into the distance. today's stupid ass thing which doesn't need to be a thing: people frothing at the mouth at this
going "this made me homophobic" is apparently the latest internet ~~joke~~ for some reason, but considering the creator is being sent death threats for this, it's sounding less like a joke
don't you know, only a very specific, overly serious type of mlm content is allowed. oh, and nothing that hints at the dreadful genre of yaoi. /sarcasm
Its fetishizing because it infantilizes the "uke" and portrays the gay relationship in a decimating way that has nothing to do w reality and is actually bad rep for the mlms
it's very telling these people want content made by actual mlm, but they want a very spefic type. (like mlm content made just for them is pretty fetishistic, just in a different way)
listen, I personally do have issues in showing femme characters in a weaker, more 'cutesy' light. but like there's a whole ass weird hatred of femme leaning people showing any sort of 'soft' vibe and like...
seriously, it sounds like there could be Actual problems with the creator (again, the RACISM), but it's masked up by all these homophobic little shitstains
gritty and brutal = bad, soft and pastel = bad just what do they even want at this point? can't used tropes cause it's bad, can't use plot lines cause that's bad, can't use themes cause bad at this point I'm like shut up no one cares
tmw no one wants to use google just for a moral argument but I'm sure watched Game of Thrones or a mainstream show cause we all know the representation there is accurate and good
You know, I think 'please touch grass' is a fairly trivializing sentiment and I rarely approve of its usage, but holy shit these people need to touch grass
also, re the racism, I'm not in a good position to say what is or is not racist, but it's worth noting that the offending behavior happened when the artist was a teen, and they have since said that it was wrong
And I'd much rather deal with someone who fucked up a bit during an edgy teen phase and apologized then people currently actively looking for excuses to demonize minority groups
you can immediately tell from posts like this whether someone had gay friends irl in high school. These are dead ringers for my acquaintance who was in a shitty emo band and my friend who stanned Apple's terrible mid-00s computers to the death
it's very, very weird how they consider the 'girly' one the one that wears pastel colors and AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME HE'S A TRADITONAL UKE. tell me you got like a.... actually more 'straight woman' idea of a gay man than any yaoi fangirl without telling me, and I mean that shit.
God, I didn't even know people used the words seme and uke anymore, although to be fair all my mlm fictional engagement has been RP and fanfic for years now
My own impression was that those terms kind of calmed down in their usage in the west with the use of ~kawaii~ Japanese that was popular when I was a teenager
But since they're Japanese terms and I'm not Japanese, I've got no horse in the race of whether they should be retired in their country of origin for the purposes and in the contexts the terms originally served
> A: People can't even own up to what they did, apologize, and work to be better, because you assholes will still go after them anyway > B, one of those assholes: them making a whole nsfw comic of underage BTS members isn't a WHOOPSIE moment (james note: comic made when artist was also underage)
Its fetishizing because it infantilizes the "uke" and portrays the gay relationship in a decimating way that has nothing to do w reality and is actually bad rep for the mlmsit's almost like you're only allowed to be into that nasty stuff if it's in a certain package. oh, and show no softness at all.And it doesnt matter if the author is gay because this content is obviously catered to women who like yaoi2. yeah it's poly
there's also like a weird subset of people that hate poly in this too.it's almost like they can't make up their mindsthis is so much the gay stereotype lmao even the clothing of the blonde boyyou can immediately tell from posts like this whether someone had gay friends irl in high school. These are dead ringers for my acquaintance who was in a shitty emo band and my friend who stanned Apple's terrible mid-00s computers to the deathpersonally, both terms have enough baggage on them that I want the terms retired.> B, one of those assholes: them making a whole nsfw comic of underage BTS members isn't a WHOOPSIE moment
