No but, really, you took the words out of my mouth. And put them in much better order than I could! It seems to boil down to westerners just not knowing (or accepting) jack shit outside of their narrow little world view. I’m sure I’m guilty in some ways, too, but it sure is a pain.
>>> “Hahaha, it's okay! I'm also enjoying some works that was made by queerphobic or has homophobic element, it's shame, but I guess it can't be helped because homophobia still dominant force in the world. as long you're acknowledging it, that's fine (I see a lot of western queer anime fans always do this that they couldn't accept if their favorite series has homophobic element or stuff).”
Yup! We live in that world, we have to acknowledge that this sort of thing is dominant. We can criticize it (and should!) but ignoring it is stupid. Like all the BNHA fans who treat it like it’s queer rep when… um… I’m not sure where they’re getting that? The one explicitly (?) queer character comes out (?) as bi, and that was the peeping tom iirc. But fans of the really big series are usually a little… odd, I think. Or maybe not “odd” but “oblivious?” I’m unsure.
>>>” and funniest is, this same Western fans always dissing BL & Yuri as ''fetishizing'' & ''problematic" but clamoring over media geared for straight people that is homophobic lol”
screams endlessly about seeing people say “BL” is “good rep” and “yaoi” is “problematic rape fetish only”
I hate BL/GL discourse, westerners shut up challenge /lighthearted
