Women reading BL are not inherently fethisizing. They& #39;re not an enemy. We have real, violent homophobia in the world and someone being interested in LGBT content is not it. Gatekeeping LGBT content is unhelpful, we& #39;re not an exclusive little club other people can& #39;t enter.
Unless you were born completely sure of your sexuality and gender, how do you expect people to explore themselves and find out they& #39;re not cishet? By not consuming LGBT content because they& #39;re not "gay enough"? How do you expect people raised in conservative spaces to relate to +
LGBT struggles and people if they can& #39;t even read and listen to our stories? Some of you treat being LGBT as a "cool" and "trendy" thing that makes you better than others so you get to gatekeep the content from them. It& #39;s awful.
This is how you sound btw (and you can replace "Asian" by any non-white country) https://twitter.com/normalfannie/status/1312882207858610177?s=19">https://twitter.com/normalfan...
Can& #39;t believe that in Japan we& #39;re happy that more people are consuming BL/GL and "normalizing" this content and our voices while some white american teenagers think it& #39;s cool to call people fethisizers and tell they& #39;re bad for the crime of liking LGBT content and not being gay.
I& #39;ll just add: I won& #39;t deny that there are fethisizers and people who disrespect/disregard mlm voices while consuming BL. Sadly there are assholes in every fandom. But they aren& #39;t inherently bad SIMPLY for consuming BL while being a woman/not LGBT. That& #39;s it.
This tweet sparked a lot of conversations about what is fethisizing, so I& #39;ll plug this here! It& #39;s a thread where mlm express their opinions on what is fethisization https://twitter.com/heliosdraws/status/1286355481796194306?s=19">https://twitter.com/heliosdra...
Ok do y& #39;all want to see something super fun about being a Japanese mlm talking about Japanese media? Check the next tweet out and the qrts, and go into the rabbit hole of non-mlm non-Japanese people trying to police Asian mlm content! This is what I deal with everyday!
I& #39;d also recommend blocking them and their friends, they called Japanese people insane I another twt, misgendered me, refused to listen, joked about Chinese LGBT authors being arrested... and more https://twitter.com/matchamaIIow/status/1313975277656190983?s=19">https://twitter.com/matchamaI...
And more! Wow! That& #39;s so fun! That& #39;s not disrespectful at all! And then some of you wonder why KR/JP/CN authors and artists block westerns on sight! The qrts and comments are so much fun! https://twitter.com/matchamaIIow/status/1313988067469004802?s=19">https://twitter.com/matchamaI...
And this one making fun of something I said by implying that *checks notes* gay men fuck horses and that& #39;s super normal content in Japan https://twitter.com/chuulover69/status/1313995911161356290?s=19">https://twitter.com/chuulover...
