If you're a fan of gay films, I would definitely recommend Die Mitte der Welt. It's a Germ...

You watch gay movies just because you read yaoi, if you didn't know about yaoi and werent so obsessed with gay guys you wouldnt watch gay movies, to yall gay movies are just irl yaoi.

I couldnt care less, but gay movies, unlike yaoi, were made for gay men. There are stuff in that only gay men can relate to, you are a woman, I doubt you can relate.

If a movie (or book or manga, etc.) is made well enough, it should communicate faithfully to any viewer. If we are to understand and accept each other as human beings in spite of our differences, art can and should connect us and not divide us. You do your community wrong by your attitude, Twink b.

I guess this guy's point is that fujoshis in general (generalizing women is wrong since most of them aren't interested ) but some fujoshies only think of gay men as their entertainment and their side hoby, they want a gay friend but they would care less about lgbt+'s struggles, and this twink b refuses to let them act as if he's nothing more than a mere entertainment issue, like if you want to enjoy yaoi or gay movies you should at least care about their struggles, which twink b person doesn't seem to see in those particular fujoshies and this is raging him since he is not a toy for entertainment and I don't think he doesn't represent his community, he must be a teen and cannot word his feeling right in an inoffensive way..
Sorry if I bumped in ya both's conversation but I see he gets a lot of hate and I felt like with enough maturity, more facts and less hate in replies both of you can find an answer. Hating a gay person for their ignorance about some issues is not relevant...

I read shounen and seinen more so than BL. Heck I haven't read one in ages now. I don't consider myself a fujoshi either. Ive read my fair share of all sorts of genre. So don't you go assuming I'll watch gay movies just because I read yaoi. What makes you think only fujodanshis use this website.
You're just being stuck up about it. Nuff' said. Bye

A lot of the fujoshi's here are also teenagers who don't express themselves well and are new to concepts of sexuality so how about we cut them a break as well? Twink b spreads as much hate as he receives.

Thanks for the recommendation!

These responses remind me of certain Japanese women who love yaoi anime and manga but aren't open to homosexuality irl.

I agree on the first part, I have not been long enough here to see hate targeting them but I guess that must be except.
I checked his page and he says sometimes innocent things like " I like Lana Del Rey " and get a lot of dislikes.. I don't know him much to judge. But on first impression he seems to get a lot of hate lol
Anyway have a good day!

So we cant even have our own things now. Gay movies are not made for women, or straight men, they are made for gay men, the target audience are gay men. Idc if you watch a gay movie, but gay movies weren't made for you, you already have enough movies made for you unlike us and no there's a lot of stuff you can't relate to and only gay men can.

I think you misread my comment if you think I'm lumping them together. I said that the detachment was preferable to that. I don't think many yaoi readers are going out to gay bars. They're at home. Reading yaoi.

Which, for the record, is also what I'm doing a large amount of the time because those establishments weren't made for nerdy guys, either. Lol

I watched gay movies with my dad because he isn’t gay not because of yaoi.

Is gay*

w0w I just realized I have 40 dislikes on that lana post lmaoo. Im nice, ppl are just homophobic

That's a rather broad sweeping generalization. Many gay films are written and directed BY women. Probably for much the same reason women write yaoi. I have really mixed feelings about it, but you can't possibly say that they're only for men unless you're going to say that ALL gay media is strictly made for gay men, even yaoi. Which is obviously false.

Lord. Even queer as folk(which I may be the only one old enough to remember. Save me.) was written and directed by a woman(FYI, you can tell). And The Way He Looks, out of Portugal, was also written by a woman, if I remember correctly, and I honestly thought that one was good. I feel uncomfortable when straight women use us a fodder, but it's not like nothing good has come out of it. Or else I wouldn't be here, reading yaoi.

I totally get where you're coming from, and agree, but that isn't the reality of the matter. Plus, I think there is room for gay films to be made which are for a broader audience. I mean, it's not bad if other people can watch something and gain a better understanding. I also think that being a closed circuit didn't do us ANY damn good for decades, so meh. It could be worse. When I was growing up, my very first supportive friend was a fujoshi, and she introduced me to yaoi. I wasn't even out to myself at that point, and honestly, it was accessible enough(both in terms of literal availability and in terms of emotional/mental readiness) to help me figure a looooot of things out. So I'm always going to give the fujo army my(somewhat reserved) love.

Women should be allowed on grindr while we're at it?

I don't think you get my point at all lol. Some movies ARE made for gay men. And we should be allowed to have our own things that aren't secretly or overtly marketed to straight people! It's just that not all gay themed media is made for gay men. At all. And that's ok *sometimes*....just not all the time. Or most of the time. Which is the case right now.

And god. I've seen women on Grindr. It's gross. Not that I hang out on Grindr.

Sorry. I'm not a gay man, but I gotta agree.

Yep, just like straight movies aren't for gay men ... Sexuality has little, if anything, to do with it. After all, one of the most famous gay films/novels was written by a woman.

"Gay media" made for women, is for women who fetishize gays and gay relationships tho but yea. Ive never seen any women on grindr thankfully
