it’s perfectly fine to want representation, but fetishizing is not the way to get it

You cannot tell me, a gay man, that I’m not allowed to be uncomfortable by your obsession with gay men
It’s okay if you like and enjoy yaoi! Please do! But if you aren’t a gay man and you are obsessing over it, turning it into your entire personality, shipping your IRL friends, fetishizing it.. yeah I’m gonna be uncomfortable with that. That’s weird and gross.
Gay men are not some sorta fascinating alien species
Gay relationships should be considered normal.
i’m bored. so here’s ships that definitely would not be shipped if they were m/w instead of m/m or w/w

hey siri, how to explain to a bunch of teenage girls that fetishizing gay relationships isn’t proper representation and only harms the lgbtq community further
a ship that really proves my point with gay relationships being fetishized is kaeya x diluc.
i’m sorry but there is no way under the sun that people went researching and digging and theorizing to “prove” that those two weren’t actually adopted brothers, so it’s “okay” to ship them.
if it were male and female people would’ve just stopped at “kaeya was taken in by dilucs father”
you guys don’t want to admit it but most ships are shipped purely because it’s male and male or female and female.
if a male SA’s a female in a story he’s hated on and called disturbing and a creep (rightfully so). but if a male SA’s another male (targeting manwahs) suddenly it’s okay, sexy, “complex”, and doesn’t matter.
if a male hasn’t interacted with a female much or even once people won’t even think about it. but if a male doesn’t interact with another male or barely does, suddenly they have hidden “lore” or “look good together”.
if a male is enemies with a female, it wouldn’t be thought of too much. if a male is enemies with a male, suddenly it’s enemies to lovers, doomed yaoi, or extremely sexualized.
