I mean... does it hurt anyone, though? Like... if people eat up an upvote-bait story... maybe they just need something in their lives and this is one of those things where whether or not it's real doesn't matter.

Like, it's chicken soup for the soul but on reddit. A lot of this stuff is crap, yes, but it's heartwarming crap. Is it any surprise that people fall for it?

Right now, a lot of people just need these stories, and I'd much rather have a bunch of people fall for a story on reddit than like... actual harmful scams.

Christ when will people understand that BL is not gay rep and shouldn't be advertised as such. Whataboutism doesn't make it any better

IA. If OP wanted to do a BL shit, they were free to, but on /r/relationship to seek some "validation" from real gay people rather than on AO3 as an original story? That's the bullshit right there. If was fake and comfortable for some people, good, but it wasn't gay rep at all.

when this kind of shit is presented as real and helps to enforce and warp straight folks perceptions of us gays it IS in fact harmful and helps to hurt our community, and gay men especially in this case.

How dare we not want to be told outright lies about the gays lol
