but anyway my fujoshi-esque stance is that a lot of the time in media i dont like the man and woman dynamic bc it is unbalanced hello men bad (no maxolorl i am jokign hahaha) for women so u kno... homo is more balanced u kno, more equal, even tho i obviously dont deliberately just seek homo content
my anti fuhoshi-esque stance is that a lot of the m/m content specifically meant for straight women (ie yaoi and like half of the stuff under BL ) still pushes the characters into a lot of heteronormative roles n shit, and generally arent interested in portraying actually realistic gay relationships bc their target audience isnt gay men lmao
but yeah i hear a lot of women say they prefer m/m content bc it relieves them of the pressure of the male gaze n sht like that, which sound pretty reasonable to me
ok since u mentioned the heteronormative stuff, i fucking hate twinks, i hatetettee when they have to feminize men to make it "properly gay" horrifying. i hate twinky bl that shit can fucking burn , i hate it when they make levi a twink too i hate this
