Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I agree. I get it if they make obvious comments about race. But the assumption is just idiotic. IT's just because they want to hate someone that doesn't like what they like

I remember on Tumblr there was a popular picture that was of two 8-10 year old boys holding each other by the waist and kissing (not like peck like MAKING OUT). A bunch of people on Tumblr were squeeing over how cute it was....

Some people expressed concerns about the fact that the kids in the picture were...well kids. Young kids. Those people were dogpiled and accused of homophobia and someone who was a fan of the picture brushed all the people who didn't like the picture as being "full of hate".

The picture made me uncomfortable because they were so YOUNG and if an adult was instructing them to do it BAM sexual abuse. I wouldn't have had a problem if it were a peck. Hell then I would have thought it was ADOORABLE. But this picture just looked staged and shota-pedo-rrific.

If someone clearly states a rational reason they don't like a pairing or whatever that has nothing to do with racism, but you go "Nononononono you're lying, you just hate it because racism and JUDGE you" ....wow you're a DICK.

Yikes, that's not right. Just from the sounds of it, I would most definitely be disturbed as well. A peck is cute. Making out is a lot heavier because it's usually driven by a desire for sex - or at least that's how I'd see it. Definitely not something I'd want to see two children partaking in. Especially being so out of context! I don't even want to think about the photographer of such an image!

I know.

The people who liked the image tried to argue by showing "hetero" romantic children pictures (kids dressed up in wedding stuff and kissing)

None of the pictures had kissing as heavy as theirs.

It really doesn't do LGBT activism any favors by seeing a bunch of people who support it squeeing over a picture of small children making out and grabbing each other like horny teenagers. If anything it kind of hurts it you know?

... Jeeze, I had to read the post 3 time before I realized I was misreading, not you...yeah, making out is kind of...nyikes.

OT, but That reminds me, I freaked out at myself over this once.

Okay so I got this anime drawing book (it was on story and expressions) that covered multiple types of genres including 'boy love'. The two "sample characters" were a guy that looked 18 at the youngest, like a regular hot tough guy (basically the jerk outside troubled inside archetype) and a younger looking boy (who looked like 14 at most and was very bishie and obviously uke.

I was never familiar with very much BL manga. I grew up in a conservative religious household. When I looked at the sample scenes page for the BL manga I found myself feeling uncomfortable. It didn't sit well with me and I considered that maybe it was because of my upbringing and fretted thinking it was a sign I was homophobic. IT was distracting me from my work. On my last break I looked through one more time and mentally substituted a girl for the uke character to figure out why it was bothering me so damn much.

Then I figured it out. It wasn't because of homophobia, it was because from what was given (a pic of the older guy cornering the younger one in an intimidating way,a little blurb about how the younger boy couldn't forget about the older guy and was curious and followed him home, and a picture where apparently the older guy just appears during the younger guy's basketball practice and holds him close) it basically read like a slash version of Twilight, and the older guy came off very creepy and abusive.

It's good to be aware of motivations behind these things , and ask yourself why you don't like something. But the answer isn't always going to be bigotry and to assume that anybody who dislikes the ship is actually just bigoted(even, especially when they state their honest reasons) is just being judgmental as well as ignorant.

It important to consider all the possibilities not just the worst one. and sometimes it means that when someone says "I don't like it because friendship turning to romance is not my thing" maybe it's because....friendship turning to romance really isn't their thing.

Also isn't it racism itself if interracial relationship are held on a pedestal and treated differently from other relationships? Because you're still treating them like they're different from other relationships ?

*It.

ERGH Klutzy fingers.
