As a genuine ally. I come across psuedo allies who only think that you have to portray gay in everything you touch in order to be called so. Being an ally is not purposely making other community members upset and justifing yourself by misusing a buzzword that should be reserved for actually homophobic people. Homophobia is not described as those who don't enjoy you coming into their fandom and botching everything and demanding acceptance. You like to assume that it's because it's gay. That's called a strawman and mental gymnastics. If someone came into the fandom and made them all bronies, i'd have a fucking problem. If someone came and made them all furries, i'd still have a fucking problem. It's not about being gay. It's about how you are portraying the characters. I come across people who make other characters gay, not because they are compatible and have strong healthy relationships, but because they are cute. For those in the DL Fandom. Shuuma is not a healthy relationship based in the current boys states. Hence why shuu knew that it was edgar but doesn't actually say anything. Yuma has amnesia and doesn't know shuu. That's very scary to have someone insert themselves as your childhood best friend who you've supposedly never seen before and expect a gay relationship to suddenly blossom. That's manipulation. Think about what that does to Yuma. Would you want that happening to you? Gays being gay because they are cute and ideals of a relationship that you want and not because they are compatible and strong for each other is a toxic way of thought that prevails on the big screen and you are going to drag it here as a shitty way of "acceptance". What's even worse is claiming that you have some divine right to botch pre-established sexualities because you are gay. It's wrong when straight people do it. It's wrong when gay people do it. If you have to change every character to your mushied down way to enjoy DL, you don't like DL. That's like saying "i like apples. But only when they are citrus and have a thick unedible waxy skin and sectioned fruits" that's not an apple. It's an orange. You like oranges. That's like saying "i like action movies, but without any fighting and more focus on the love interest/damsel in distress." That's not an action movie. That's a romance. That's like saying vegans who say "i love meat" but only in refrence to their vegan meat and complain when actual meat is offered to them. You don't love meat. You love "vegan meat". The LGBT+ community is free to like as they please. But if you don't like something. Don't botch everything to your ideals to say you like it too and get upset when you don't see everybody else accepting your headcanons or when someone rejects it, you call them names. They have every right to dislike it and not force themselves to believe it. Just like you have every right to say "i don't like DL because of their lack of gay portrayal". Move on if you don't like something. You don't have to stay. And don't drag everyone else to your level because you believe that it's the only way to be an ally. Don't drag everyone else down because you demand to fit in somewhere. Don't misuse your status as an ally to do whatever the fuck you want to whoever you want. Don't misuse valuable and strong words and inflate their meaning into nothing. Learn your terms and stay in your lanes. Because i have no tolerance for ignorance. Especially ignorance under the pseudonym of "ally". Because that's a knife in the back of the LGBT+.
