Oh, but think of the poor, poor heterosexual women with a yaoi obsession! What ever shall they do?!

Therapy, you say? No, that simply won't do. We must obviously cater to their every demand, let them into spaces in spite of everyone's discomfort and give them free access to their object of desire: gay men!

I used to be friends with a girl with yaoi obsession. One time we were in an anime convention and there was a lesbian couple in front of us and she started screaming how cute they were and the girls seemed rlly uncomfortable. I just pretended I didn't know her bc holy shit. Why behave like this?

Because just like men who get off on lesbian porn, gay and lesbian relationships, at least in anime/fandom circles, are portrayed and perceived to be sweeter, purer, better than boring vanilla straight relationships. They act as there's something special about LGB relationships, when they're just the same as straight ones, just with slightly different dynamics due to same-sex lack of 'man and woman in the relationship'.

Exactly. I would always get into arguments with her trying to say it was just a normal relationship like straight ones and acting like this would only make them fell weird and different and that isn't fair... she would just pretend to cry and say that lesbian/gay relationships are special bc straights are boring or whatever... god she was tiring

The easiest thing you can say is that it's difficult to understand if you're not gay or lesbian, just like it's difficult for bisexuals to understand monosexuals and gay men/lesbians to understand straight relationships.
