Comment by I luv lowtideinTwilight on Nelson Mandela

@I luv lowtideinTwilight I am an avid yaoi reader. I don't have anything against yaoi readers. I'm just tired of 99% of yaois being the exact same in this regard (which is the authors' faults for being lazy and just copying tropes). It actually does hurt people. Teenagers and young adults grow up on almost 0 gay representation on TV and only see gay relationships depicted in ao3 and yaoi. They have no reference for what a real gay relationship is supposed to look like, and that's how you end up with stalkers, abusers, and toxic relationships. I want to fight these authors because the lack of consent isn't BDSM. It's just insensitive. There are yaois where the r*pe is acknowledged as r*pe and that's just the f*tish it caters to, but most yaois are supposed to be 'romantic' yet still depict dating vi*lence like it's normal.
