This is what kids need to do these days to not get cancelled. Don't hate the player.

I won't be suprised if many of these dumbass teenage girls who identify as "trans" online, do so they can enjoy their yaoi porn without being cancelled for being cis, hetero girls who fetishize gay relationships. But if they suddenly identify as UwU trans gay femcatboy UwU, it's completely fine and safe from Tumblerina wrath.

I for one don't get why a straight woman would enjoy yaoi. But at the same time I don't get why these queer circles would hate on someone for liking yaoi (aren't they accepting of all?) that's so weird.

I've heard in gay circles that, especially in the past, bisexual people were looked down upon, I'm not sure all of the reasons why (not gay enough? someone who sleeps with the enemy? Idk) But one reason I've heard is because basically someone can just pretend to be gay and try to get into gay social spaces and gain cred but they are actually straight.

And like, that kinda makes sense. Usually the counter argument is that nobody would actually want to be gay since people treat you badly, but I think the social dynamics have changed there, gay people are considered cool in many circles, and people who want attention would claim the label since it got them attention.

I think we might see something similar here, if being trans is something that gets you attention and praise then people will do it, and if you can be trans without actually doing anything then all the more so.
