I can’t believe this thread... Yes “coloniser” is a heavy word but when u literally redefine meanings of jp words & rewrite narratives based on the notion that a foreign media is morally corrupt when compared to its equivalent in your culture... it’s not that much of a stretch...
This thread literally has gems like this in it! U can’t claim you’re not redefining words if you say things like this! who are these mangaka? where are your sources? did I completely hallucinate the Japanese Shounen Ai genre from the 70s or are you trying to erase that history?!
It’s 3am I’m not a discourse twitter I’m going to sleep I have work tomorrow goodnight 
I WAS HOPING THAT WHEN I WOKE UP THIS THREAD WOULD HAVE BEEN DELETED AND I CAN PRETEND IT WAS A FEVER DREAM BUT IT'S STILL THERE
THERE'S NEW TWEETS TOO AND... LOOK, I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY BEHIND THESE WORDS EITHER, OR YOU WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THIS THREAD.
I can't BELIEVE this. Delete the misinformation, it's already spreading and contributing to the rewriting of the BL narrative?!?!

JKSGLSD I can't believe this reposturing. We're not calling people who separate yaoi/bl/mlm colonizers.
Thats what we call people LIKE YOU who redefine those words & say yaoi=Fetish Material & BL/MLM=Wholesome
Your thread is perpetuating misinformation & rewriting narratives!!

This person is trying to change what people are saying to make their view sound more reasonable. They have a whole thread of misinformation and link real sources that DIRECTLY CONTRADICT what they're saying.
Do we need any more proof this person is a hypocrite and a colonizer??

NEVER MIND THAT'SFINE

This is some1 else but I genuinely just want to know, where did this misinformation come from? Did everyone just collectively forget Takemiya Keiko or is this another case of colonizers re-defining a JP word & forgetting about it bc it's so different from its original meaning? 
Like, I can def agree that "yaoi" and "shounen-ai" have been appropriated re-defined in the west to refer to nsfw / sfw works since the early 2000s but... when did westerners start claiming that they actually invented it as a term??
