for one, that discounts yaoi where theoretically we have mostly Asian characters. but okay with that asians aren't real POC line of thought moving on
Are you really this stupid? Do you think anime would be nearly as popular if dumbfuck white people didn't think the Japanese are jealous of their superiour gaijin looks and therefore base anime characters on white people? You've never been privy to the whole "OMG WHY R ANIME CHARACTERS WHITE??" conversation?
The only reason yaoi fandom gloms onto characters so aggressively is because they tend to project their own whiteness onto the characters. It's why Tsukishima from Haikyuu!! is listening to System Of A Down and the latest Kesha track rather than some JRock, and why Kuroko and the gang eat pizza and wings instead of Japanese street food, and why they get suspiciously dropped into colleges that sound right outta the Midwest USA.
Stop playing stupid.
for another, people can wank off to and slash what they want. this criticism seems very difficult to divorce from "WHY YOU NOT SHIP WHAT I SHIP". people can be drawn to a pairing for any fucking reason.
Because you're being racist. If you can't divorce an overall fandom trend and immediately assume someone is attacking you because they're pointing out your love of white dick on white dick, or in the case of yaoi, whitewashed dick on whitewashed dick, you're either being really immature, racist, or both. If you can't see why people have an issue with this without making it about specific ships.......................
