OK. So. You know the argument that it's ok for yaoi fan girls to like yaoi/slash and not support gay marriage/rights because it's a fictional kink fetish thing?

I realized the reply to that.

How many yaoi fangirls out there ONLY are interested in slash as a fetish? ONLY read explicit sexual thing (Or only read things in a explicitly sexual manner, i.e. they are reading that sweet cuddly fic TO get off)

A kink is ONLY about sex. And I understand having weird kinks (I think a friend once sent me a quote that was something like "How often have you been masturbating and looking at something, only to finish and be horrified by the midget, granny, trans porn on your laptop") A kink is too get off.

So, then, that argument only applies to fangirls who ONLY read slash to get off. Not to squee. Not to explore their writing, or talk about their favorite character, or draw their favorite bottom being cute. You don't draw the shoes being cute, or talk about the deep psychological implications of the diapers childhood. If it's a fetish, or a kink, it becomes and object, not a character with a personality. And if you're thinking in terms of character, with personalities, like...you know people, then you should be making the leap that there are real people in those situations.

I kinda petered out there at the end, but you get the point.

Oh, and I got a dreamwidth too. Penguinfaery, amazingly enough.

Word. So much word ♥

Could you hook me up with an invite code? I'm not sure if I wanna make the jump, but I'd at least like to get a foot in the door.

Sadly, I have both a friend that likes yaoi for the porn and another friend that likes yaoi for the fluffiness and they both are against gay marriage and basic gay rights. It makes me sad and in my opinion makes no sense. I guess for me I see the people behind the manga, since I'm always associating characters with people I know anyways. Sad. They also know I'm gay, but they justify it on a religious sense so they don't have a problem saying it to my face... >_>.

Pop them on in THEIR face.

Shit that's so not passive but oh man. How disgusting. You should show them some of the preach tolerance websites that talk about homosexuality in the bible.

Yeah, it's really dumb, like my friend that loves yaoi porn justified it because the specific word "marriage" is religious and therefore homosexuals should have all equal rights but the word should be "civil union" and not "marriage". Well if it's a religious word, and we have separation of church and state, then marriage shouldn't be legal for anyone! grr

I love when people tell me that it's against God's will for me to be the way I am. I get to tell them that they should stone adulterers and people who wear cotton-polyester mixed clothes must be SHUUUUNED. And they're going to Hell for eating bacon and shaving. XD

I know I used to be like that until recently, now it seems I am more interested in hentai doujinshis now.
