Crying out justice, but seeking out triumphs (iwanttobeasleep) wrote in [info]fandom_wank,

This was here before and apparently got deleted, but I think it deserves reposting.

For those of you unfamiliar, KH is one of the most subtexty games out there, and the majority of it's online fandom seems to be slashers. Rabid, fangirl slashers.

[info]miriamthebat is not one of them, and she wants everyone to know it. Nobody really cares about her "I don't like yaoi" statement, and the rest of her post is completely unrelated to slash (which leads to many people rightfully going "Then why'd you bring it up at all?"), until she posts this lovely little comic (visible here for those without a DA account). (There's also some wank in the DA comments, Fishylove points out it comes off as more anti-gay people than anti-yaoi, Morurie points out Miriamthebat's a bit of a hypocrite pairing Axel with someone he doesn't get along with at all.)

Naturally, people aren't happy.

The OP feels the need to make an ETA:

Edit: Okay, I'm done arguing with you guys. Any more comments I get in responce to my dislike of yaoi are falling on deaf ears.

I'd like everyone to know that even though I dislike yaoi, I am able to be friends and respect people who like and love yaoi and tolerate their love of yaoi pairings as long as they're able to tolerate my dislike of them. I have not and promise I will not make negative comments on your posts about yaoi pairings in this community, and probally won't comment at all unless they're constructive to the conversation.

I'm sorry that my friends chose to post responces to this post. I didn't want them to respond, I just decided to post the link on my friends page because I thought the argument was pretty crazy.

So that's that. I'd also like to say that all of you guys who think I am persecuting you or rubbing hatred in your face when I say "I dislike yaoi" are batshit crazy.


And my personal favorite, from her post on [info]antiyaoi:

The key phrase is "Friends don't let friends..." which is meant to imply that Roxas and Axel are only friends, therefore would not want to do the buttsecks with each other. The fanbrats are offended because they can't tell the difference between "friends" and "gay lovers".

. . .

Yes, I am aware that heterosexual couples do "buttsecks" too. I've experienced this first hand. Against my will. Which is why I dispise yaoi fangirls who adore drawing and writing gay males being raped, having them find pleasure in it and later fall in love with their rapist. Fanbrats who find this cute and perfectly acceptable, and desire for this to happen to characters they're supposed to love, make me sick and I will never respect them.

Editted for the DA wank. And again because I am incompetant and suck at life.
