lmao, yeah sounds like fandom. so many people in it want to be special so bad, so they co-opt the identities of others to be excuses and shields.

just write the m/m stuff that you want and move on, it's that simple. otherwise we gotta start claiming that straight men who make f/f porn are actually queer as well.

The blanket statement, I think, is a little unfair.

I mean, yeah, you have co-opters, fetishists, and people who want to feel speshul.

And then you have grifters like Andrew Blake, who's in a class all his own.

But I also think that there are a lot of young fans using fandom to figure themselves out. Still.

If you live in an area where being LGBTQA ain't no big thing, yeah. It can seem a bit strange and I can understand why fans who live in those areas are slapping their foreheads while rolling their eyes.

But there are a shit-ton of fans the world over (hell, try the U.S. and Canada, let alone worldwide) where there's no one to talk to about this. Where even bringing it up in a round-about way could have dire consequences. So they're using fandom the same way young fans have always used fandom...to sort themselves out in an anonymous safe space.

I can kind of see both sides here, so I tend to reserve judgement unless there's something blatant.
