I'm not going to name the person I'm quoting, because it feels like that would be forcing them to engage. They can respond to this or not, as they please.

Every time one of these Gay Dudebros (and why are they almost always White gay dudebros???) brings up that how I write BL fiction is fetishization, I have to overcome the burning urge to smack them with a thesis on how BL has nothing to do with Actual Real Life Men whatsoever. Because, you know, it doesn't. It's women's fantasies, written by women, for women, featuring women-oriented aesthetics. If gay men want to read pounding meat action ... isn't that what Chuck Tingle is for? Like gods forbid fiction exist that isn't to their very narrow tastes!

Imagine that person A writes porn about black men with giant dicks who love to rape white women. Person B is black, and complains about it. Person A says that it's porn by white people for white people, and person B should go read something else. What kind of emotions would you feel regarding Person A's statement?

(If your response is that white stereotypes of black people are different from female stereotypes of gay men because gay men have more power and/or privilege than women do, go douse yourself in cold water right now.)

I realize I'm a non-central example of a gay guy but hahaha what

Well it was Sylvi's username first, she's the one who's winged and feline. I'm just a regular unwinged catboy.

(... We should probably do that intro thing she said we would do.)
