But they didn't say all male/male pairings are something they don't support, they said they support homosexuality, hate yaoi (and it's fangirls) and prefer yuri. They're all obviously different things.

It's hardly borderline offensive. It's hardly offensive. They don't like the yaoi genre. Who the fuck cares. I don't like the yuri genre, which is more or less the same - fictional settings of gayness in a typically porno sense barring a couple of exceptions which don't matter because they're a couple of exceptions.

Your bad feelings need to get over it, so they don't like anime guy/guy? What of it? Yaoi is hardly supportive of RL homosexuality, it's a fantasy genre focussed around gay romance, they can dislike it. That's not offensive. Offensive would be hating it BECAUSE it's guy/guy.

Why yes I'm also gay.

Wow, don't fucking tell me what is and isn't offensive. I've lived through offensive and then some because of my sexuality.

And seriously, "I hate yaoi", 99.9999% of the time, means "I hate gay pairings." Because that's what yaoi is and how it's used in the west. Yaoi is not one series, one set of tropes or one love story. Here in Japan, BL (which refers to what Westerners mean when they say "yaoi") is any relationship between two fictional guys that's typically written/drawn with a female audience in mind. Even doujinshi for non-anime series like Harry Potter are categorized as BL. in my experience it's the same in west, we're basically just talking about male pairings that women like, and some guys for that matter.

and when someone says "I hate that" it ONLY refers to the fact that it's two guys. because the bad tropes, the fangirls, and the shallowness exist in every orientation of romance, straight or not.

so damn right I can be offended if I want to be.

wow. how did you develop this ability to know everyone's motivations behind what they like and don't like?

it's amazing!
