wat

What to which part.

I find actual gay porn entirely uninteresting, but slash and BL by virtue of not being actually people, and the complexities of sexuality to be something I'll occasionally indulge in.

Or the brought up to be gay part, because as much as that sounds like a ridiculous conservative strawman, nope it happened. I got set up on a couple dates in my teens even. And it remains my moms favourite story to tell every single girlfriend I've had.

Definitely the brought up gay part. It's a bit mind boggling, tbh. Sounds like an awkward thing for your mom to bring up with every girlfriend.

Like you wouldn't believe.

I play it off as a joke, we all have a good laugh and then I die a little inside.

Dude, attempted cock-block by your mom. That's a special level of cringe worthy.

I'd respond with "yeah, what a piece of shit parent my mom is right?" and keep laughing. See how many times she brings it up after that.

Holy shit. Your mother was the founder of the generation of yaoi fangirls who want to have sons just so they can watch them be kawaii yaois with other dudes.

Actually where is that screenshot of the insane blog comment by the yaoi fangirl about how she hopes she has a gay son and when he comes out to her she'll squee with joy and take him shopping for leather and sex toys and shit? That's your mom.

There's a thread on some manga reader forum for people to discuss what they would do if they found their kid watching/reading yaoi and it's full of nothing but I WOULD THROW A PARTY AND SHARE MY COLLECTION WITH THEM LOLOLOLOLOL (regardless of the kid's age)

One of those 'hope you never have kids then' scenarios. Like, p sure most dads don't rejoice when they see their 10-year-old flipping through Penthouse, so why would you rejoice at your kid reading animated porn?

My first intro to yaoi was my mother handing me the manga series FAKE because she'd asked her manga lending bookstore thing "what a popular series for 14 year olds" was. I think they assumed she had a daughter and handed her the stack of books and she gave them to me telling me "it's about cops."

...well, technically it WAS about cops. They were all just dudes and just kind of tended to fall in love with each other a lot.

She still has no idea what the series is about.

I dated a guy whose mother liked to tell me of her attempts to turn him gay so she'd never lose him to another woman. Which was really confusing to me. Was she saying gay men don't have real relationships or what? I never knew what I was supposed to say to that.

/wasn't you was it?

That's some creepy incest smelling shit right there.

I noticed a tendancy in some women to be more jealous towards other women than they would be about men.

In the fandom of my icon, a lot of fans really want to slash the singer with every male who happens to appear in a 50 miles radius around the band. But they become batshit heinous if a pretty woman is seen near him. I don't get it either.
But it's really the "not losing him to another woman. Losing him to a man is not a problem".

This really bothers me because the subtext I read in that kind of thing is either they think they would "cure" him or that M/M relationships aren't as emotionally involved or committed by their nature.

You know that infuriating thing where a guy's okay with his gf lezzing out?

YFW that double standard isn't exclusively male.

Uh, yes, like exact words.

Well on the upside, at least I'm not the only one I guess.

Now I'm curious if you are actually him? He was really into fandom as well. We lived in Tx at the time and does "instrumental trifle" mean anything to you?

*leans away from computer*

That mother is...special.

This might sound mean or something but when the guy and I broke up all I could think was that I definitely won that game of MIL roulette.

inb4 you get called ableist.

..I don't even..

Edit: brb turning my boyfriend gay so i don't lose him to another woman, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS PLAN FIRST

Edited 2012-06-28 10:25 (UTC)

foolproof tbh

Why do you still talk to you your mother? Your situation is one of the few times I could invision seriously telling a parent to shut the fuck up.

Apart from this one thing she was a pretty great mom, and I had a comfortable happy upbringing.

Plus my family are pretty well off, and even if she was terrible I'd find it hard to give up all the benefits.

Your words were though "die a little inside"

I think for your own sake you gotta confront her about that someday. maybe not now, but someday.

Even the most greatest of parents can do a rare pretty shitty thing to their kids, they're human.

But please speak up because it's pretty clear that you are not comfortable with your mom telling your girlfriends about something in your past that you are clearly do not want to talk/joke around about. That's one instance that your level of comfort is more important.
