mlm, wlw
i have mixed feelings about drarry. i used to like drarry more in the past but i feel like as time went on people just kept on sexualizing them a lot and it gave me the ick so i started liking it less and less. they have an interesting dynamic and relationship that i like but i feel like now its watered down to just “yaoi”, the ship’s main appeal now is that their gay and thats quite it.
the same goes for a heated rivalry. i havent read or watched it, only saw clips and such, before i had a positive opinion toward it because like hell yeah, queer representation in the media! its canonly lgbtq, and people like it yay! but i dont like heated rivalry as much anymore because of all of the weirdos out there that fetishize the content. can we not have queer representation without it being treated weirdly? maybe weirdly isn’t the right word because i’m talking about like queer representation in general, and i’m trying to find a more general term than just weirdly but i cant articulate nor think of a proper word at the moment. don’t get me wrong i like mlm and wlw, i’m a lesbian myself, but i think you’re weird if the only thing you talk about is mlm and wlw, like to an extreme amount. like that tiktok creator mei, whose side account bald banged baddie is completely about yaoi and yuri. yeah, i like queer media but i don't make it a point to make all of my content revolve around my love for it. shes weird for that and i am not sorry for stating what i think. its similiar to those men who fetishize lesbians and lesbian sex.
as well as this, those people who see two men or two women together in public, complete STRANGERS by the way and go “yaoi/yuri” pisses me off a lot. not everything is gay, please stop labelling strangers’ relationships that you dont even know about, nor do you deserve to know about if you're going down the street and calling them a couple? genuinely don’t be crass, gtfo stop sexualizing everything. It's the same thing as a boy and a girl being friends in junior high/high school but everyone else around them keeps on shipping them. this begs the question, can two opposite genders not to interact without them being shipped? can two people of the same gender not walk together side by side in public without being labelled for no damn reason? and for walking, nonetheless, like holy crap bro.
