I just got two flames back to back for The All Purpose Yaoi Naruto Fanfiction. Is this getting passed around somewhere, or what? They completely misunderstood our intention in writing it. I got called a gay bashing homophobe. One of them berated me for not being respectful of the things other people want to write and told me "don't like, don't read

It's called the All Purpose Naruto Yaoi Fanfiction yet you got called a 'gay-bashing homophobe'? Er, how?

apparently writing a parody of bad yaoi fanfiction is a hate crime.

Meh. I confess to a certain amount of skeptical eyebrow-raising when people try to conflate "any mockery of yaoi fandom" with "homophobia". Oh, gosh, I think girl-on-girl mud wrestling is kinda dumb and degrading, does that make me a homophobe?

The fact that someone likes to fetishize a sexual orientation as part of their online hobbies does not, in and of itself, make them its morally superior white knight defender. Honestly, certain portrayals of homosexuality in yaoi can be just as damaging/bizarre/insulting as anything a homophobe might say.

But I digress. Your story's hilarious, m'dear, and spot-on in its lampooning of fandom. Haters gonna hate. ♥
