I love this.
yeah, of course it does. so many lesbians are into yaoi and (attention!) real life gay porn that it's uncanny. this fetishization is so prevalent in fact that it became good rule of thumb for me for guessing someone's sexuality: when a person is writing or reading bl, she's* probably bi or gay. if she's reading both bl and gl she's most likely a lesbian. for yuri it's more complicated, though i would be worried if my partner was exclusively obsessed with content that is in exact opposition to whatever we are. i really can't wrap my head around why, for example, merryhachi's husband agreed to marry her (or she him).there's also mlm content in the original manwha (and the other upcoming side story) so uhmm yeah it feels kinda fetishized.
tell that to 90% of members of every identity oriented sexuality driven feminist yuri board where almost everything is a statement.It's not a serious piece of transformative literature or whatever, it's just cute stuff.
I very strongly object to that. of course it has something to do with your personal taste. i don't know how much, as it should be decided individually in every case, but to say that it has nothing (either literally or figuratively, as in 'negligibly little') to do with it is just... irresponsible. this sort of 'whatever' attitude to introspection very often leads to wasting other people time (ie misery for all parties involved, because time is not refundable), type of behavior I have extreme disdain for.personal taste has nothing to do with the fact you like to write or draw LGBTQ+ characters in a fictional setting.

(it also really does not help your point that you decided - unprompted - to proclaim your personal position on intersectional oppression ladder in the argumentation ; if it doesn't matter where the work's author preferences might happen to lie in relation to things they're writing, then your own preferences should be equally unimportant and contextually irrelevant for what you were trying to convey)
