Alien Stage isnāt yaoi or yuri and I feel like there are people who donāt understand this. I only find hehe yaoi hehe yuri jokes about Alien Stage funny if theyāre made by actual fans. If someone has just seen a clip of Alien Stage or an Ivan gay joke on TikTok and went on to make these jokes themselves, it irritates me, because thatās such an oversimplification of the themes of the show and the characters. Yaoi and Yuri are genres, not synonyms for gay. Alien Stage is Sci-fi/dystopian story and illustrates how love can become oppressive and how toxic and harmful an emotion like love, that is seen as such a kind, beautiful emotion can be, and how under certain circumstances and environments, people will act and love in ways that are selfish, cruel, and unhealthy. Iām not calling anyone a fake fan or trying to gatekeep, at all, it just frustrates me when people take this thing I loveāthat they know nothing aboutāand strip it of its meaning to makes jokes about words they barely know the meaning of. If you actually like Alien Stage, this doesnāt apply to you at all, and the jokes are hilarious.
