I think "fujoshicourse" really depends on what sort of fandom you happen to be in at the moment. Fandoms like Voltron and Yuri On Ice!! for instance seemed like they had a literal mountain of fujoshi drama, whereas other fandoms seem to attract more lowkey fans and there isn't as much tolerance for certain behaviors, so depending on the fandom I think gay male fans probably feel varying levels of comfort? (I'm having a hard time wording what I want to say right, I apologize.)

I do think most people probably just ignore the stuff they don't like though lol, I know I certainly do. Fandom "discourse" takes a lot of mental energy to deal with and I think 99% of people just don't want to deal with it.

I agree on the different levels of comfort thing. I've given up on the project of reinterpreting straight characters through ship goggles and calling it representation or queerbaiting, depending on one's perspective. LGBTQ-friendly work has really exploded over the last decade, so I'd much rather read that than yet another argument that I should give Supernatural or Fantastic Beasts a go for its subtext.

I'm bi, and unfortunately have had bad relationships with straight women who bragged about liking slash and gay culture. I'm generally not inclined to trust that public shipping translates into private support when it really matters.

But, you're right that "discourse" is an energy sink, so I'm not inclined to scour the web for stuff I find sketchy and issue "callouts." I'd rather read great work from supportive publishers than rant about a person's fanwork.
