And in addition to that yaoi is mostly written by women, so they are loving characters created by women for women, and not realy loving gay men as they are in reality.

Precisely. Written BY women FOR women. The overwhelming majority of women in that scene know this, but I suppose some impressionable teens can't tell the difference between fiction and reality. There was a very interesting conversation about this a while back on s/GenderCritical.

Teenagers (and some adults) are dumb and impressionable, I get that, but what's confusing/funny/frustrating is that they decide to become gay men before making the slightest effort to find out what real gay men and gay culture are like, and end up crying in the bathroom at the gay orgy.

Maybe I’m evil but that post made me laugh so much, she spent her whole life so sheltered and “validated” by the people in her life. The one time she leaves her tumblr safe space she gets hit by the hardest of realities. * Shocking* homosexual males are only attracted to other men. She got her tits out at a gay orgy lmao what did she expect. Applause for her bravery?

I don't feel bad for laughing at her. She's narcissistic enough to think that the entire world should have lined up to validate her delusions with no effort on her part, and even after her dose of reality her response is to ask if she should rally her "queer" friends to punish the evil cis gay men.

Not gonna lie, I ugly-cackled when she overheard one of the dudes say "I think that girl is crying in the bathroom" (can't remember it exactly.)

That was the best part. She just got her boobs out in front of everyone, how are they supposed to know she thinks she isn't a woman?

I guess she really believed some random men that said things like “huh huh, if I had boobs I would stay home and play with them all day....huh huh”

I've said this many times before, but that story is one of the best unintentional comedies I've ever seen.

I demand a dramatic reading!

Preferably accompanied by tragic violins (alternating with Sad Trombone and/or "Yakety Sax")

Oh man, I'm actually really tempted - I'm not sure I have the voice for it but I'm really tempted to give it the ol college try.
