Her comments on another post:

I was introduced to yaoi at a young age and obsessing with reading/writing it for nearly a decade helped me understand that I’m a trans gay guy too.. of course fujoshis are gross fetishizing people and the community is rotten to the core with many problems (don’t even get me started on the dehumanization of omegaverse mlm) but yaoi in itself is just a genre with some pretty good content on a side, and junk on the other. Like every other genre. It’s a big part of what my journey to be even fair and I feel a bit invalidated to read this ;-; no offense. As though I’m pretending to be gay transmasc just to project that yaoi shit or whatever. (I also 100% agree with OP on bottoming transmasc etc fetishizing. It’s everywhere and it’s gross!) Edit: I didn’t mean you make me feel invalidated, that part was aimed towards the person who said women shouldn’t read yaoi! I couldn’t access their comment. Sorry for the confusion!!

Why do these girls not realise that yaoi is written by women, for women? You can't learn anything about gay men from reading yaoi, it's all women's fantasies about something they can never really understand. If you, a woman, relate to the characters in yaoi, that means the yaoi is fulfilling it's intended purpose for you as a woman. You aren't relating to gay men, you're relating to the fantasies of other women.

Why? Because they're no different from how straight men fetishize lesbians. That's what yaoi is at its core. A woman's fetishized interpretation of gay men made to appeal to herself and other women.

Telling them that yaoi isn't a realisitic portrayal whatsoever of actual gay men breaks the illusion and their perceived idealizations of what being a gay man is and that makes them very mad lol.
