I was sexually assaulted multiple times by girls like that, because I was the only gay man in my friend group. It is absolutely a fetish, and it's disgusting when they try to use us for it. One of them actually became a trans man, and detransitioned a few years later. In my purely anecdotal experience, Yaoi fans are a fucking mess.

What those girls did were vile and disgusting acts, it makes angry that they would violate you in such a way! I'm really sorry that you had to go through that. I hope you had support during that time. I heard it is rather difficult for men to receive support on sexual assault and people try to dismiss it---it make me livid and disheartened that people brush it off.

One on my bisexual guy friends back in college was sexually assaulted by his female babysitter while he was maybe 8y.o. He told his mother, but she didn't do anything about it and got mad at HIM.

My current partner was a MINOR (12y.o) too when he said he had "sex" with older women (20s-30s). That's not sex, that's abuse.

Yep, all the (female) yaoi fans I've met so far are messed up in the head. They try to take things to the next level.

That's awful what happened to your friend and partner, ugh! One of the girls tracked me down years later to apologize, but I haven't heard from the others. It just sends up an immediate red flag for me now if a girl seems a little too into gay men, or if a trans man tries to force themselves into a social group for gay men. For a long time, I tried to be super 'validating' and accepting, but it just psychologically became too much for me after a while. Trans girls don't bother me and I can be around them just fine, because they've never done anything to me (I know it's a serious issue in lesbian spaces though), but trans men in gay male spaces just gives me a visceral reaction. Those 'fetish' alarm bells go off in my head and I just can't be around that after what I went through before. I feel like if they did try to do something, there's no reasonable way I could defend myself without them bringing down the hammer of the woke cosmos on my ass for being 'transphobic.' Even just running away would get me put on blast in some way. Idek.
