Bashing the Sakura-Bashers

[absent_guile]

I know this character has probably been done to death, but I simply cannot let it rest. I must fight for Haruno Sakura! She doesn't deserve all the crap people put her though. So without further ado, here is my rant to end all rants

I like yaoi as much as anyone else... but only when it's logical.

AMEN. That's why the only yaoi pairing I actively ship anymore is canon. (Passively, I'll write/draw anything for anyone, I don't care.)

And I'm gay myself, and it frustrates me a LOT when fangirls have to find two guys who they both think are hot in order to write gay pr0nz about them. Umm, there are a lot of m/m pairings that get ignored because one or both of the guys involved aren't "bishie" enough for fangirls*. Plus, as you said, if the characters were to suddenly appear from out of the TV, they probably wouldn't go for the fangirl. I mean (in Naruto) what fangirl has anything on a KUNOICHI, for crying out loud?

*This, sadly, has happened to me IRL at anime cons (among other places). I'm not very bishie or femme or stereotypically gay, and that, coupled with my penchant for any sort of dirty joke imaginable/discussing het and yuri (as well as yaoi)/not squeeing loudly at any two guys holding hands or kissing, has fangirls backing away from me thinking that I HAVE to be straight and lying about being gay to get into their yaoi-obsessed panties.

Oh Jesus. That kind irritates me to no end, some of the absolute best pairings are the ones *without* the bishieness. They think if one of the characters paired isn't whiny or stereotypical, then they absolutely cannot be gay - and even worse, they morph one of the more manly characters into a whiny ball of pent up emotional distress to fit their image of how a gay boy should be. Someone seriously needs to clarify this for these sad, delusional fangirls: not all gay boys are sniveling ukes.

*headdesk* I could rant for 5464564523234 years about the stupidity of some of these people.

Seriously, I feel the need to apologize for the female fangirl population. The ideas they gather from reading their unrealistic fanfiction tends to make them stereotype people. I completely and utterly respect you for not adhering to these false principles and behaving the way a stereotypical gay guy would just to make them believe. I think acts like those cheapen the individuals who go along with them. People need to realize that just because a guy isn't whiny, lispy and bishie and just because a girl isn't butch and pierced up and tattooed all over doesn't mean that they can't be gay.

I'm sorry for my gigantic rant. Your comment put me in ranting mode! xD
