[I know; it's been ranted about before.]

I'm a het fan. Really and truly, I am. Even in KH [which has so few females]. Riku/Kairi, Namine/Repliku, Roxas/Olette, etc. ... I promise, I like them!

I agree, though. "Disclaimers" like that, of any kind (I'm also lumping in the "OMG YAOI!!!~~~~ NO LIEK NO LUK KK" comments in there) are exceedingly annoying and are one of my 'hmm, this is a badfic' alarm bells.

So, to the rant, word.

Agreed; the opposite is just as annoying, too. Definite red flag.

People are...special. I like het and I like yaoi, and while I don't particularly care for yuri, I've never had a raging need to bash it especially via fic summary. What happened to live and let live, fandom?

"CURSE THE MAN WHO INVENTED YAOI!!!"

I highly doubt a man invented yaoi. LOL.
