Okay, it's 3.43 a.m., and I would like to join into the discussion here... so please pardon me and my incoherent thought... I'm quite sober, but I can't be so sure...
Anyway, the stereotype of yaoi fangirl, or fujoshi (whatever, I'm rotten to the core.) are:
1. They don't like to read het-pairing, or even normal series will be gay, homo, whatever, in their hands.
I must say I'm quite offended. You see, I like hetetosexual pairing just fine.
I like shoujo, josei, shounen, seinen, as long as the story is good with lovable, or at least bearable characters.
However, if 3 out of 5 shoujo(s) offer me a
meek,
weak,
stupid,
moronic,
idiotic,
brainless,
useless heroine, I would reject that so-called artwork immediately.
The reason I like yaoi because they offer someone who is not like those underlined traits mentioned above.
Of course, we still have those useless uke, which I despise, really... So the matter is not in the gender, but in the traits.
The gender in yaoi only make the romance seems sweeter.
As I said, 3 out of 5, there are some shoujo who offers great characters and lovable heroine. And I like those works, thankyouverymuch. I enjoy them just fine.
Besides, if we somehow make slash couples out of straight comic, I must says it is because either
these rotten women have too wild imagination, or
the works are to be blamed for giving hints, innuendo, or making the characters so touchy-feely with each others. I personally think it's
both.
2. We have no moral.
Said someone who has done as many sins as we have.
So it is okay and normal for guys to watch lesbian porn, both 3D and 2D, but it is bad for girls to look at 2D men/boys,
bonking loving each other? Puh-lease.
3. We support gay.
Ouch. I don't support gay, but I don't have anything to against them as well. I just don't care.
People want to be happy, if they are happy with same-sex lovers, then let them be. It's not like they are doing any crime.
Gay people are said to be very anxious about their sexuality, because they think they are not normal.
So, please, just be a good citizen, let them feel happy.
They are human beings, they deserve happiness in their life, just like you.
Oh, btw, yaoi itself is a little homophobic. I mean, with the super feminine uke x super masculine seme, totally not homosexual.
Not to mention, the earlier yaoi works usually insert words like, "We're just friends! There is no way guys can be together like that!" or "But we're both guys! It's not normal!" which leads to "I'm not gay (or homo)! It just happen that the one I love is a man!".
See? They do not want to admit they are gays or homosexual.
Beside, the act of same-sex penetration is not uncommon in Japan's history.
It's kind of complicated. So I'll just stop here.
4. Girls who like to read those stuff are lesbian.
While it is not impossible, I'm straight. I'm totally don't find women attractive in THAT way.
There are others, but I think I'll stop here before I'm complaining even further than this.
By the way, my family accidentally found out about my hobby...
I'm kind of, well, freaked out.
But my siblings are cool, they teased me about it, but don't really care...
And they are not otaku, btw... So I am quite surprised by their reactions.
But then, maybe they don't want me to freak out even more...
