You find homosexual relationships to be disgusting yet you claim that you support their freedom. Aren't you contradicting yourself too much in this? You seem like the type of man who has to constantly reaffirm his masculinity by viewing homosexuals as scum. |

| I don't mind homosexuality in anime so long as, like everything else, it's well executed. I actually really liked Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Hybrid Child made me weep. Being a straight man, however, I vastly prefer guy x girl relationships. In simple terms, I have no interest in the concept of homosexuality. I don't see any reason why it should have any part in my life, but I don't reject its existence nor do I stop other people from participating in it. I'm still too early into Yuri!!! on Ice to comment on what's going on there, but I hate how the term "queerbait" is also used on the other side to imply any relationship between two men must be gay. I mean, people shipped Naruto x Sasuke for over a decade and look where that went. |

| Fk this shit! Trump should just take over Japan and ban all kinds of gay stuff!! OT : Remove all the fujoshis from the fanbase and community, and I can finally watch a sports anime in peace without facing all the homosexual bullshit!! The guy on guy thoughts are extremely disturbing to us straight males. So I prefer staying away from any kind of stuff like that.. If you fujoshis wanna ship guys, then ship it... But please don't be so loud to give others nightmare about it! Just make a joke about it and be gone like all the other fanbase does... Tl;dr : Dicks are objectively better than Vaginas, so those who do not carry a D should not be allowed to talk about gay stuff! |

I'm a bit impressed. To get a bit back on topic, I'm pretty sure @justALEX summarized before all the reasons why this thread is needed. All he did was try to 'rationalize' and 'explain' why it's okay for straight guys to go into YOI threads and say 'oh this would be so much better if it were yuri' because obviously it has to be all about sexy girls for a guy, but then they'll get angry if you call them disgusting perverts and say you're just a prude. So you can't self-insert in this romance? Well treat it as a way to try to understand other people. Not interested? Fine, but don't go around bashing something that you haven't even watched just based on the idea you have of it. |

Comic_Sans said: You're not fooling anyone but yourself I wouldn't call it a super straight fetish...as you are looking at chicks with dicks. However its definitely more a straight thing then a gay thing. Gay guys don't like traps....they like actual men. At the same time a large portion of trap lovers aren't attracted to normal men. Obviously you aren't 100% straight if you like traps...but far from being gay. |
Trance said: @Pullman lol I agree. It's perhaps no different from a closet liberal acquiescing to a conservative point of view in an extremely conservative society. The best word I have for this is 'doublethink'. I don't intend to restrict it to romance anime only. Shin Sekai Yori is an excellent example in that romance isn't its main focus and it has homo-romance in it treated in the same manner that heterosexual relationships are treated. But apparently, even that spoiled many people's experience. And it is this hypocrisy that I wish to investigate. bodyslam said: Umm I cringed when I saw how unrealistically gay YoI was and I'm not even straight. I don't really care if it's in real life because it's probably never gonna be like it is in YoI or any yaoi anime/manga. Implying things are ever realistic, or even that realism is the norm, in anime. Anime, I see, is an exaggeration of everything realistic. It highlights in bright colors the mundane aspects of life (concept of nakama, for an instance) and that is the beauty of this medium. Aquamirror said: Just as sick as homosexuals, right? I can't really explain a natural instinct. And not everyone who dislikes male romance auto likes female romance, some people really can't stand homosexual romantic relationships. We call those people 'jealous' or 'insecure'. Unless you have a legit reason for not liking it -- for example your dad cheated on your mom with some uncle from the neighborhood and ruined your parent's marriage -- you are really either just jealous that people are having fun or you're insecure about your sexuality that you think you will turn gay by two people getting it on. JCAPER said: What now what? You want me to think of all movies inspired in real events and tell you one by one if I would watch it if they switched the couples? What exactly do you expect to come out of this? Ok, let me put it this way then: if the movie is about a gay couple romancing and that's it, even if the movie is based on real events, then the probability of me watching it is low. But if the movie is about a gay couple escaping the Nazis or something, then the probability of me watching it is high. That good enough for you? Yeah, it's good. Let's hope it's good enough for you too. TookMe6Years said: Eroticism has always been a bane to all civilization and society since the beginning of the first civilization. And you of all people should know it by now. Uh. Eroticism is not promiscuity. Eroticism is an art, promiscuity is a vulgarity. Societies fall when they become vulgar. Art sustains civilizations. TheBrainintheJar said: Isn't it that these are guys who are threatened by sexy males, just as females are threatened by sexy females? I mean, if you had a Freezing poster in your bedroom, a female friend walking in would feel insecure. She'll see you can be attracted to other people other than her. The beautiful people threaten us. As much as it is a legit reason, it is also the most dangerous and despairing one. Because if it really is the case that people cannot be selfless enough to appreciate beauty in life, even if it is not theirs and will never be theirs, then it only gives us a very despairing reality that most of us are still living a depressing, and selfish, life.

I mean, in the Middle East, in the Middle fucking East, two men can kiss each other on the cheeks and it won't be seen as gay. So why the fuck does hand-holding have to be gay in the West? In fact, in ME, we even have famous stories of platonic love between two males which was borderline romantic. Shams and Rumi locked themselves in their library for 40 fucking days! and no one thought they were gay. Malik Ayyaz and Mahmud Ghaznvi are also another famous story. But somehow, the most progressive part of the world right now is also the one with the least intelligible societal concordance. Don't be surprised we live in such a reality. After all, everyone is worried about Trump while the moron who runs Turkey jails reporters. |

How's that a trap? He straight up looks like a boy |
| Here's what i don't understand. How does watching a gay romantic anime make me less insecure about my heterosexuality? |
| ''Only this once a serious attempt has been made to portray homosexuality'' you're generalizing that much when you only watched 38 anime LMAO. |
| In the first episodes I thought the gay stuff was just a joke and that it wouldn't turn out to be a homo romance. But after watching more episodes I realized that it is about homosexuality. And yet it's not really about homosexuality. The main characters just happen to be gay. What makes Nikiforov a funny and interesting character is his effeminate personality, and that's what is making it so original, but the main focus in the anime is ice skating. It won't change my opinion at all about it if in the end they become a couple or not, that's just a detail. |

Lestat- said: Aquamirror said: If you had been removed from any form of social interaction since your very birth, and thereafter at the sensitive age of eighteen, you would have been placed in front of two men kissing, embracing, or merely holding hands, you would have thought of it as entirely natural and normal. What has occurred is that you have fallen victim to a social construct which is only a modern phenomenon, and unfortunately it adulterates the pliable souls of young men these days, biologically the weaker sex and more vulnerable to change. In ancient civilizations, homosexuality was a common formula, especially when men were away for battle — both the females at home sought one another, and the men on their campaigning as well. In the animal kingdom, a variety of species have shown homosexual relationships with their kinship in many forms; primates, canines, felines, reptiles, fish, birds and amphibians, all show homosexual behaviour. Now, what is more natural than "base" animal behaviour?My legit reason is: I'm disgusted by it. The same way it's "natural" for gays to fuck each other, it's "natural" for me to be disgusted by it. Normal men don't hold each others' hands like that. I won't turn gay by watching moving paper, neither I am jealous of something that isn't real, but the fact that I see *that* happens already turns red lights in my head. You said it yourself you can't imagine kissing another man, so why can't you imagine other people not liking watch others doing it. I liked Shinsekai Yori and these gay scenes weren't a problem for me, because the show wasn't focused on that. I don't want to watch gay romance of the same gender as mine, it's simple as that. I don't have problems with gays and even if they do it in front of me I wouldn't really care either, but that doesn't mean I enjoy watching it. It's completely normal reaction and I don't see where's the problem with others sharing that view. Not everyone acts like you, you still want to call us wrong even after explaining ourselves. You forgot real gays in ME who publicly display their affection are thrown from buildings' tops and stoned to death, and men like to fuck little boys for fun. Cut the ME bullshit, we really know how people act out there. It is immensely unfortunate how herd-like behaviour appears as a main factor of our social interaction nowadays. Do what another does, think what another thinks, and adhere to every social "rule", as long as we are accepted and tolerated by the majority of others. The creation of one's own consciousness and awareness apparantly no longer functions in many brains. That is perhaps why we haven't evolved in ages and why mankind is heading toward its downfall. I think you guys are missing the point. There's no problem at all in seeing two men kissing or holding hands. The problem is: who are these men? There's no way I can find disgusting to see two cute boys kissing each other, as long as they look cute it's all okay. Seriously, gender is irrelevant. Physical appearance is all what matters. I'll find it disgusting if I see two bearded fat men kissing each other, not because they are men, it's not a problem about gender, it's a problem about the people themselves. It doesn't matter if it's a straight, gay, or lesbian couple, if the two ones involved in the relationship are ugly in my eyes, then of course, they will look even uglier when seen together. |

| What? I'm a straight guy. I like ecchi and harems. I don't want to watch Yuri on Ice because it has an all male cast and is aimed at providing a story to people that like that sort of stuff. I also think sports anime tend to be boring in my opinion. Now, if it were an all female cast, I still wouldn't watch it. It would still be boring to me regardless of the gender of the characters and there is no interaction with a self-insert character. Now, what's this about me being insecure? |

| Humu, I think that we should at least question the meanings of things, like that guy, Shakespeare, once pointed with a simple phrase from one of his pieces: "To be or not to be, that's is the question" Meaning that all is a mere "proposition" and the acceptance of propositions with the passage of time, turns everything into apparent truths. The thing becomes a problem when instead of proposition to the meaning of things, we have impositions, that through general media and conservative educational methods, tends to create a certain systematic ignorance; It creates well educated people on the social level, but that can't reach more than simple acceptance of the general consensus, as opposed to being able to question the meanings and usefulness of any belief and/or social practice ( consciousness ). I call it a problem, because it breads the stop of evolution no matter how you look at it; it even creates a certain war on consciousness, and even straight out hate for those that like to think, and as history shows, those that think are the ones that move forward, those that chose the easy path of hating before analyzing, are generally left behind. That the very concept of "sexuality" is still a thing, totally baffles me to this day, as defining something that can be so immense and far reaching as love or sheer pleasure and desire with words and rules, is nothing more than a dying practice of those that despise change out of fear. |

| Being insecure about homosexuality is for kids. Being triggered about people being insecure about homosexuality is for big kids. Realizing dumb shit like this doesn't matter is for the adults. But no seriously, romance and sexualiziation go hand-in-hand, and love is where sex thrives in it's most beautiful form. Those with a far more pure mind than my own can separate the two more often, but for a large majority of us, when two people are in love, we're fantasizing (or at least thinking) about sexy time. |

| Eh? The majority of Yuri anime has always typically handled itself maturely and rarely focuses on the eroticism; rather, it puts emphasis on the actual relationship and romance. Yaoi/fujoshi have a bad rep for being disrespectful towards/misrepresenting homosexuals in general (not all, but certainly most), so I don't find this kind of backlash unusual or unreasonable at all. In addition, regardless of how "Yuri on Ice"handles its mediocre "romance", the only thing I hear from fans of the show are about shipping and unmentionable things. This certainly doesn't exude a lot of confidence from me that it's intended for mature audiences who give a damn about respecting homosexuality. |

My main point is that homosexual-themed anime doesn't HAVE to be about sexual gratification (i.e. Yuri master race) but in the case of Yaoi, that's all the fans care about. OP's defense of Yuri on Ice is sort of like the defense of an oblivious male feminist: it's defending someone who doesn't actually support your stance at all lol. |

| @Trance I don't think you realize, that there's actually no precedent in japan for anti-homosexuality. Especially gay men, it was just a normal thing of normal life in the past, and many famous people in the past were known to be not exactly straight - including Nobunaga. The anti-homosexuality crept in once christianity started getting it's fingers into everything. But at any rate, homosexual guys are actually acknowledged to the point of just being background noise. Far more than lesbianism is. If any homosexuality has suppression in japan, it's lesbians. |

You find homosexual relationships to be disgusting yet you claim that you support their freedom. Aren't you contradicting yourself too much in this? You seem like the type of man who has to constantly reaffirm his masculinity by viewing homosexuals as scum. tsuyokunaru said: It's disgusting to me in same way someone can say that some food is disgusting. Not liking something doesn't mean one hates it and wants it destroyed. It disgusts (literally, total physical rejection by my body) me so I don't do it, but I don't want it banned because I don't mind others doing it. Is it so hard to understand?Terkhev said: Yeah, I find it disgusting when 2 guys are in romantic relationship together and I won't watch anime like that because I don't want to, as I like to identify myself with the protagonist. At the same time I never said anything bad about it, always supported freedom for same-gender love and I generally have "do what you want" attitude to this topic. And yet I'm called insecure and homophobic. So you think calling that kind of relationship "disgusting" it's super tolerant and letting people do what the want huh? What next? We will call females who don't like ecchi anime "insecure about their bodies"? After all eroticism is also a kind of art... |
| @Terkhev Spiders physically disgust me. I don't want to wipe them off Earth, but I'm not delusional enough to think I'm not an arachnophobe. |

| Well, I mean, I like watching two males in a romantic relationship, I don't really like watching two females in a romantic relationship. I both respect that everyone has a thing that they are attracted to but I think people who watch this type of stuff should understand it's up to prefrence and too be honest, Yuri on Ice isn't supposed to be focused on romance or anything but the actual sports. I think way too many people are using it as a romantic relationship for all the shounen-ai or yaoi all over the world when it's not suppose to focus on that but rather the sports itself. I really do hope to see some good relationships between the same gender in the future and this is coming from a person who typically doesn't go out of their way to watch romances as I prefer supernatural and stuff lol. |
