It'd just make me hate a villain more and symphathize with the victim.

I'm generally just not into to childhood friend romances in general. I just can't ever imagine being attracted to anyone I grew up with.

I had never thought about it that way but you're right I'd be damn offended if my best friend assumed without asking that I was A) straight, B) a bigot that wouldn't stay friends for that reason. And this would be someone that thinks they like me???

[(Anonymous)]

Ehhhh I mean tbh regarding thinking someone is a homophobe or will be uncomfortable. IME, gay people often have to think like that if they're given good reason to believe it.

Bc there are so many cases where gay people have been killed out of so called "gay panic" or just plain homophobia. So I can understand keeping attraction to myself .

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a closet case. It's not necessarily because I think I'll be persecuted but I'm deeply uncomfortable. Basically it makes me feel like people will be repulsed by ME being attracted to them. So I feel like from personal experience, it's possible to hide for reasons other than assuming the other party is a homophobe. Not only that, I would absolutely not want my friend to pine after me so actually I get characters not wanting to make their unrequited love interest uncomfortable.

I was with you until the second part. I grew up in a fairly liberal area, with an open and accepting family, and I still was terrified to come out to anyone for a long time, because you can hope for and think the best and there will still always be the chance of rejection (and much worse). Some people react differently when it's someone close to them--and not for the better. You do what you have to do to feel safe, even if it means protecting yourself from people that you know, rationally, aren't going to hurt you.

I hate the words friend zone so much. I also hate good guy narrative where girls like bad boys versus good guys with their only virtue being... that they're not bad?

However I love fic plots where one character goes "they can't love me back. I'll stay silent and enjoy being near my beloved". I think it's cute.

In reality Nice Guys TM will reveal their true self after being rejected, cursing at the other party, saying they were leading them on, etc. Then they will hate all the girls because the ones they like don't like them back. I believe the term is incel?

[(Anonymous)]

Well if it's older BL/yuri, the character wouldn't be able to think in terms like their friend potentially being a "homophobe," and they probably wouldn't even think in terms of themselves being "gay" because they themselves would have internalized homophobia and think of it as them only being in love with that person. Modern language and concepts about LGBTQ and homophobia just weren't a wide enough part of the culture they were written in.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with you IF the friend tries to interfere in the new relationship, I guess? On the other hand, there's a reason why the 'not actually unrequited love' tag on AO3 is one of my faves. If there's pining, and then the other person realises what they're feeling themselves I'm into it.

At least they both look like adults (they are both adults, right?). Try being a Professor Layton fan and seeing the top ship is Layton/Luke.

This feels really gross after the controversy with MBB's adult ex said about her a few months ago.
