Please. Please, please, please, please, please. Stop it. You're killing the fandom

But what are your thoughts on yaoi?

[behindpuppet]

I don't have a problem if it's part of the fandom but the need to take straight characters and turn them all gay. Just take on a gay character instead.

Ouch, I can totally sympathize with you. I know alot of muns are really into this whole 'yaoi' stuff but I think after awhile, they tend to forget the concept that NOT every male character in a particular fandom is GAY.

When it is shown in the fandom that they are straight and have no pull towards those of the same sex. That is when my nerves get a little fried.

[salikawoods]

Understandable. I just had a conversation with a friend of mine about the same topic. I find it a little aggravating too when muns take pseudo straight characters and just turn them gay for their OTPs.
You really do not see muns doing the same toward 'female' characters by making them all lesbians unlike what I have seen muns do to male characters.

[behindpuppet]

This is what I am talking about. And you are right about it always being the male characters and not the female ones.

I think by now it's been proven impossible to kill a fandom, look what HP and Gundam Wing go through and they're still standing. XD

LOL.

[alanahikarichan]

... wow.

[gin_seiryouzai]

....while it is perfectly fine to pair up straight characters that would never even look at each other?

I know where you're coming from, even though I don't play fandom RPs. But what?

[sketty24]

But those kind of preferences can vary during a story, but gender preference is from birth, really. (Despite what some of the anti-gay nuts says.)

[gin_seiryouzai]

And everyone knows from birth that they are gay? ;)

[sketty24]

That wasn't my point. :P

Gender preference still remains embedded, even if it is hidden or denied. For a character to purposely seek a sex they don't find attracted to (unless of course they are inhibiting extreme denial and trying to hide their homosexuality,) doesn't make sense.

With what the OP was saying, these are character who have shown no gay hints or suppression of their real sexuality, but their rpers just suddenly bring it out of them in a split-second of teenage-yaoi-fangirlness.

(I blame this on watching John Barrowman's documentary, haha.)
