I didn't just find a post about it, I lived this for a long time and experienced a lot of serious shit that would get people imprisoned for what they did to me and my friends if they didn't do it under the protection of religious institutions and non-accredited schools. There were parents, teachers, and other students between the ages of 14-18 involved in this. This isn't an internet opinion, this is reflective of attitudes that do exist in real life and subject real people to shit you can't even fucking imagine because of it.

.... Friendship is illegal where you live?

[gethenian.livejournal.com]

No, but I'm fairly sure that institutionalized bigotry and persecution based on mistaking friendship for homosexuality is.

I can't tell if this is troll bait or real hurt.

If this is real hurt, my sincere advice to you is to seek therapy because the way you're viciously throwing it around here to make a point in a debate about fanfic trends is out of tone and really, really sad. And will probably just end up hurting you more, unless you're one of those rare people who feels no sense of exposure or vulnerability from airing personal traumas like this.

I'm really, really sorry that happened to you. Nobody deserves that. But it didn't happen just because they mistook friendship for romantic love, it happened because they were bigots who hated gay people. It's terrible that you got caught in the crossfire, and as someone who's also experienced homophobia from the adults that were supposed to be taking care of me, I cringed a little because yeah, it's horrible and I relate.

But people who were in that situation and were actually having romantic relationships with people who were the same gender really don't deserve that either.

[omorka.livejournal.com]

Wait, so you're saying it would have been okay for them to do that if it had in fact been homosexuality? :-( No one had the right to do that to you, but it's the homophobia that's the root of the problem, not someone mistaking a platonic relationship for an erotic one.

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

That really sucks. Really, awfully terrible and I'm very sorry that happened to you. I hope you're in a better situation now.
It throws a rather dark shadow on the fact that in lots of fictional works, insisting "We're just friends!" is code for "We're just too shy to admit we're in love!" Although I find it's more typically a heteronormative trope.
