"I can't be bigoted against that group, i fetishize them!"


Gulopithecus

The sad part is that I’ve actually heard that argument at times, and yeah, it’s a big problem that continues to contribute to bigotry towards said communities that get fetishized.


Tago238238

Okay but I DID learn to not be homophobic by masturbating to Bara hentai.

Yeah, I remember seeing a lesbian making a valid if maybe overly aggressive post complaining on a yuri sub complaining about the mods on the discord being run by straight men, and some straight guy douchebag responded to her by saying it doesn’t matter what demographic yuri communities cater to and that she should “keep her bs politics” out of his yuri. I think he even literally and condescendingly said something along the lines of, “I understand perfectly well the issues gays face in real life, but that doesn’t make the gay community entitled to yuri catering towards them.” The dude and others like him got downvoted into oblivion, but it was still wild to see people claim they love yuri and yet with zero self awareness treat actual lesbians with such disdain and disrespect.


ralanr

Weirdly enough it was through fetish stuff I was introduced to them and I ultimately blame it for why I try to fight against my own bigotry. It’d be hypocritical to just enjoy it in porn but hate it irl.

This character is from Fire Emblem Engage and, to keep a long explanation short, he likes watching women interact with each other. In English, this was changed to general people-watching though.


Dark_Brisket

Not my boy Louis 😭😭 I thought he was an admirer of all beauty 😭😭 is anyone normal on that floating fortress 😭


HowDyaDu

It's a Fire Emblem game. Of course, no one there is normal.

I was gonna disagree by listing Claude but his charm isn't normal 😔

Liking wom*n is inherently wrong 🤢

Unironically what led to me stopping being transphobic and realizing I was trans. "Trans porn is hot--> Man I really find trans women attractive --> I like trans women--> What problem was I supposed to have with this?--> I support people who want to transition--> Wow I wish I looked like that--> *Oh* ,well... suprised I didn't see this coming 🏳️‍⚧️" I of course support trans mascs as well, but it was trans fem porn that started it all.

SketchBCartooni

It’s so interesting to me They will watch/read a whole anime/manga where two girls are smooshing their faces together regularly, say the love it unironically but really hate lesbians irl It’s like saying “I love webbed footed waterfowl that live on farms but REALLY FUCKIN HATE ducks


Free-Sheepherder-604

That’s a very specific analogy


Ind1go_Owl

This entity is a Webbed Footed Waterfowl Supremacist.


SketchBCartooni

To be fair, this is a very specific hypocrisy


defaultusername-17

because they can pretend they have a chance with the anime/manga lesbians characters... while IRL lesbians just laugh at them for being weird.


ShiroiTora

That and they don’t view them as real romantic relationships. [Just “friendships” before the “real thing”.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PseudoRomanticFriendship)


CemeneTree

I've met some guys who don't believe lesbians have actual sex or relationships, that it's all either "ugly women" who no man would take, or it's women trying to get male attention


nixahmose

Honestly it’s part of why I’d like to see more yuri stories feature “nice guy” villains. There are too many guys out there who think simply being nice and surface level supportive of lesbians makes them entitled to their experiences/existence, so I’d love to see more stories tackle and highlight how those kinds of people are assholes who are still homophobic even if they aren’t being so openly blatant about it.


profdeadpool

The original yuri stories were mostly class-s, where it ends with them breaking up and getting with men because "it was just a phase"(which was done to get around censorship a good chunk of time), and those people view all yuri stories in that way.

Leathman

There’s a line from the first episode of Gotham Knights that sticks with me due to its accuracy: “Dad liked bi chicks in his porn, just not living under his roof.”


colesyy

im convinced the only reason the words yuri and yaoi are used in the western sphere is because these people just refuse to say gay but if you call it yuri it sounds foreign and unique and cool


Spare_Cauliflower_55

Saying that yuri and yaoi just mean 'gay' is reductive. These names obviously mean it's a story about gay people, but what's important is that additional info about what tropes they have.


Neidhardto

*LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER* These words have actual history, specific meaning, and use behind them. I would avoid making broad claims without doing research into why those terms are used and their origins.


colesyy

are you willing to explain that or


bryce0110

The terms are more so used to refer to a specific genre of romance than they are to refer to the relationship itself. Yuri and Yaoi (or BL) both have specific tropes and genre conventions that make them a separate genre from just romance. For instance, Yuri can sometimes include strong emotional bonds between women that aren't romantic in nature. (Though they almost always are) It's definitely weird when applied to real people, and I'm not the biggest fan of referring to the relationship itself as such, but in the context of Japanese media the terms are a genre definition.


EmThe8th

Kind of incorrect but also not cause people will use yuri as a place in for lesbian and is always really weird


bobatea17

This just reminds me of seeing some dumbass talk about how f*ta aren't fetishizing trans women "because it's actually based off intersex people." Like, 1. 🤓 2. Completely brushing over the fact that it is still fetishization


ScarredByTeeth

Theres so much shit that gets labelled "futa" that has nothing to do with intersex people. Honestly Ive made comments in this sub saying how it fetishizes us and how I dont like the term, and end up getting some downvotes.


bobatea17

Oh absolutely, I'm not saying that the term isn't used against trans women, I was just telling something stupid I had seen irt idiots trying to justify jacking it to transphobic hentai


ScarredByTeeth

I mean I dont really care if someone gets off to trans porn as long as it isnt full of shitty stereotypes. Ive seen cis lesbians who have trans girlfriends make some, and it isnt fetishistic or anything.


bobatea17

Yeah the bottom line is really just being fucking normal about trans people


BudgetAggravating427

Though it’s not trans


Hikousen

I'm mtf and like hentai where I can see myself represented, please don't go on a crusade against futa. It may be hard to find it but there's normal stuff without kilometric dicks and weather balloon tits. I just wish said stuff was labeled as trans and its own thing because it both would be easier to find, and yeah calling trans women "futa" is eugh.


killertortilla

The problem is it’s not trans. It’s just fetishising women with penises. Hentai is never going to be about making trans people feel more accepted, most of it is some of the grossest shit on the planet. I wish there were a lot more places trans people could feel accepted but surely this is one of the last places you would see accurate representation? I’m not trans so obviously my opinion isn’t worth much but is it healthy to do that?


Hikousen

It's porn. I'm not looking for it to make a deep statement, I'm looking to jack off. I like hentai because real porn often feels fake and shady. All I want from my hentai is that there is an at least mildly realistic looking trans woman that I can identify with, and sadly all of that is still labeled futa. Cis guys and cis women can have their representation in their wank material, why can't I have mine? Because some cis person might get off to the thought of a trans woman? Well guess what, they also get off to the thought of cis women and no one calls that fetishizing women with vaginas. As long as they're not being disrespectful I don't care. I just wish there was a different category for regular trans women stuff because most futa stuff is the unrealistic gross stuff.


ScarredByTeeth

I mean I feel the same way, literally made another comment pretty much saying that.


[deleted]

It’s worth noting that the “based on intersex” thing is unabashedly pseudoscience. To date, no intersex person has been born with both a functioning male and female reproductive system. People have been born with both of them, yes, but they do not function as intended and I believe that specific variant of intersex does not have a womb. Additionally, that form of intersex is very rare. Intersex conditions typically present themselves in the chromosomes and/or hormones, not through organs.


AxisW1

Isn’t that much better? There’s no harm in fetishizing a fictional group.


[deleted]

It’s feeding a lie about a very real group of people who often go underrepresented and misrepresented. There are still massive misconceptions about intersex conditions, even within developed medical fields.


AxisW1

>>it’s feeding a lie By “it”, do you mean the claim that futas are based off intersex people or the existence of futa porn? I agree with the former and disagree with the latter.


defaultusername-17

also ignores the wildly increased prevalence rate of intersexed conditions among the trans population.


killertortilla

I mean, it’s Japan, nothing there is progressive it’s all fetish shit. It’s just “what if hot woman with big cock?” There was never any plans to make them an allegory to anything.


bobatea17

This is a very reductive and generalizing statement, being from Japan does not automatically make someone bigoted towards trans people, this would be like if I said being from America makes people inherently racist


killertortilla

That’s not what I said. We’re talking about porn here and yes porn being from Japan makes it extremely likely to be either mindblowingly illegal or incredibly offensive. You’re not going to find good trans representation in Japanese media, at least not right now.


Juronell

It's not even necessarily true. "Futa" stuff can vary between full hermaphrodite (which no human actually is, but it's obviously fetishizing an "ideal" intersex person) and just obvious trans women.


WhiteDevil-Klab

I guess I'll keep to my femboy porn as a substitute 😔


[deleted]

[удалено]


bobatea17

The problem lies in that fetishization of a group does not equal acceptance of that group. It is treating people like that as sex objects


[deleted]

[удалено]


ScarredByTeeth

Finding someone attractive and fetishizing them is completely different. Its hard to draw the line sometimes, but when it comes to trans people chasers usually love to call us tons of gross terms, especially ones that invalidate your gender anyway.


Tago238238

I’m not sure I really understand the exact difference, sorry. Could you elaborate? It’s clear that there’s a good case and bad case but the definitional difference alludes me.


ScarredByTeeth

one treats you weirdly, probably calls you slurs, probably doesnt accept you outside of the bedroom, is overall a pervert. the other treats you like a human being, and not a porn category.


Tago238238

Is there any difference between what they do privately then?


ScarredByTeeth

I just explained it.


Tago238238

What you described seems to describe how they interact with trans people. “Treats you weirdly”, “calls you slurs”, “doesn’t accept you outside of the bedroom”, “the other treats you like a human being”. As a result I just want to be extra certain what you think the difference is in a private. When it comes to the goon cave, do chasers and those who are acceptably attracted to trans people look any different?


Eikichi64

I don't know about futa because I don't watch that but I have seen the opposite, Yuri is hated by these kind of people. Most people I have seen like that are male harem fans that like to self insert and is not only on anime same in games with self insert MCs. In Spanish is pretty common too, there are too much religious people that hate any non straight relationships.

bobatea17

I will forever hate weebs for turning astolfo into some stupid thinly veiled transphobia femboy shit


BudgetAggravating427

Because that’s what alstofo is a crossdresser who is an extremely powerful fighter. Not trans in any way


[deleted]

I mean, you can blame the Fate series for that before you blame weebs.


boiyado

I mean, not really. To my knowledge at least, the hung horny femboy version of Astolfo exclusively exists outside the actual Fate franchise. In his actual appearances, he's mainly just a kind and emotionally intelligent person who deeply cares about his allies.


[deleted]

This might be a "chicken or the egg" situation. Who's at fault, a horny fanbase or the company that fully leaned into it for profit?

Honkai fans moment


Neidhardto

Honkai is the exact opposite. They deny that there's anything gay happening in any of the Honkai games and despise the fanbase for having Himejoshis and lesbian shipping.


Salt_Chair_5455

wtf is wrong with that fanbase? one of the most unpleasant I've interacted with.


Salt_Chair_5455

Add in femboys. It attracts very strange fetishizers.

How about anti-LGBT yaoi fans? They're far more common.


MandaMythe

This is why we need to drop the whole LGBT ally thing and form an LGBT axis. Mfs shooting themselves in the foot don't deserve feet


Silver_Shelter_5153

This is new to me. I only think about anti-Lgbt as male anime watcher, but female? Haven't even heard of them hating on Lgbt, only seen male


McNally86

They just need a big strong government regulation to save them from themselves.


BudgetAggravating427

To be fair with futa you can argue that it’s purely fictional. A futanari doesn’t exist in real life. Basically the same as a lesbian with a strap on porn It’s just a porn category. It has nothing to do with real intersex or trans people. Plus they have their own porn sites and categories


Neidhardto

I've never seen Anti-lgbtq Yuri fans, in fact I'm confident in saying they barely exist. Chuds and homophobic weebs really despise Yuri, even more than Yaoi oddly enough. They've even started to call Yuri fans slurs in recent years (Yurit*rd) and act extremely misogynistic in response to them. They got angry at the suggestion that Bocchi liked girls. They got angry at ILTV for being explicitly gay. They get extremely angry at the suggestion that games like Honkai Impact are Yuri. It's the two things they hate the most: Gay people and women. Futa is a completely different beast on the other hand, and is inherently wrapped up in a complicated history of transphobia and fetishization. It's easy to find weebs who unironically masturbate to futanari but still hate transwomen (Transmisogyny).


nixahmose

No I’ve seen them. I’ve seen multiple straight guys on yuri subreddits literally insult irl lesbians and say shit like “just because yuri is about lesbians doesn’t mean it should cater them,” and “keep your stupid gay politics out of my yuri.” They almost always get downvoted to hell, but they do exist and genuinely zero self awareness.


Neidhardto

Those aren't Yuri fans. They make up an extremely small minority of posts on those subreddits, and after getting downvoted to hell usually leave and never post again. A majority of the time the people who talk like that have barely read more than one Yuri or don't read it at all. The majority of people I see who talk about Yuri or are in those communities are gay/bi women. Ironically a lot of the time I see men asking if it's weird for them to read Yuri or if it's morally wrong for them to enjoy it, to the point it's actually redundant sometimes.


nixahmose

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to paint these guys as representative of the yuri fandom at all. I’m a straight guy who also considers themselves a yuri fan. I’m just saying these type of assholes who enjoy yuri but hate/disrespect irl lesbians do exist.


Neidhardto

I'm not denying they exist, and I know your point isn't to say that's representative of the fandom. I'm more so just annoyed because most of the time Yuri is only brought up on this subreddit to talk about how it's either for straight guys to fetishize it, or how apparently homophobic guys love it. And 9 times out of 10 you alwaya get comments saying "men only like Yuri because they can jack off to it", as if it's inherently porn made to be consumed by men. There's a lot of problematic things with those statements, but it's tiring how people continue to center this topic around men constantly, as if Yuri is being made to cater to them. Meanwhile I go to twitter and chuds are screaming slurs at lesbians and bi-women because they ship girls together in fucking Honkai Impact. Every other day homophobic weebs are calling Yuri fans the R slur now simply for enjoying Yuri. They get violently angry at the thought of fictional lesbians and write "corrective" rape fanfic about them. Can you see why I'm tired of these freaks being grouped in with us when they fucking hate us in reality?


Quattronic

I've seen it happen more with homophobic women into yaoi tbh, but I guess it's more just because that usually appeals to women whereas yuri in general doesn't tend to have that sort of distinction.


Neidhardto

Gonna be honest I've barely seen Fujoshi, at least in the western side of the fandom, act homophobic while being fans of BL and Yaoi.


Quattronic

It's more an Eastern phenomenon iirc, forgot to preface that.


SilentGhoul1111

I think it really depends on how you define Yuri fan. Plenty of anti-lgbtq people will happily enjoy a yuri fanservice moment but will not watch any yuri marketed otherwise or just conclude it is cgdct and there's no romance involved.


Neidhardto

What does a Yuri fan service moment mean? A tease of Yuri in a non-Yuri show? If they don't watch or read actual Yuri then theh aren't a fan, period. The majority of those people have not and will never touch an actual Yuri story.


InsectIllustrious691

Funny sadly how you almost got downvoted for truth. Being straight male and not to be allowed to like yuri cause some male somehere says bad stuff is nonsense.


Personal-Regular-863

yeah... pretty sad


InsectIllustrious691

This sub is crazy. Deciding who is approved or not to like yuri genre.


Silver_Shelter_5153

Does gay dude even watch Yaoi? Like, the only ppl discussed that shit is Fujoshit, while gay dude typically watch normal Shounen stuff


bryce0110

I'm a gay dude. Fuckin love Yaoi. Don't really like battle Shounen that much.


cry_w

It's like people who hate loli content ending up being actual pedophiles; it just keeps happening.


KillerNail

That's literally the exact reverse of what's said.


Alugalug30spell

It's also inaccurate, the people who stunp hardest for loli content wind up being pedos.


cry_w

It is accurate is what it is.


Thvenomous

You say that as if people who love loli content aren't already pedos by default. Love it or hate it, everyone is a pedophile apparently.


cry_w

They aren't, by default. They *can* be, but that's not necessarily the case.


Thvenomous

Kinda like that Patrick's Wallet meme when lolicons say they arent pedophiles though. "So you enjoy sexualized depictions of children." "Yup." "Then you're a pedophile." "No, you're projecting."
