and i hold both of them in exactly the same amount of contempt

the guy who freaks out about any hint of NTR in the stuff he enjoys and the yumejoshi/otome game enjoyer who freaks out over any hint of BL in the stuff she enjoys are isomorphic. exact same Type Of Guy.

where does "himejoshi/danshi who despairs over the presence of men" fit into this

[stardust_rifle]

yeah, they're probably the same Type Of Guy.

[i think a necessary component to being this Type Of Guy is that the thing they're fearing isn't that common? like, i'm not super clued in on the M/F Romance For Dudes as i used to be but it doesn't feel that common for a creator to just dump an NTR kink on something that doesn't seem like it used to be, and i can only think of one case where a yuri series got derailed to revolve around a random dude (blue reflection, i think it was? i only heard about this through hobbydrama so i might have gotten the details mixed up)

and talking about the second thing i mentioned, the examples that have been given are:

- a random indie audio drama featuring a M/M/F threesome where one of the dudes gave another dude a handjob
- people in otome game fandoms doing LI/LI shipping
- enstars yumejos being Big Mad that the dudes continue to have meaningful relationships with each other instead of having their entire world revolve around anzu
- animate's april fools joke being an announcement for an otome game with like a ridiculous amount of LIs that also said "and maybe there will be BL" or something like that

so. whiny babies the lot of them. lol.]
