YES. I KNOW I SPELLED CATEGORY WRONG. I lost the .psd file, so I can't fix it.

This stamp NEEDED to be made.

I really hate it when people say, "I'm not against gay people, I just hate yaoi!" That sentence doesn't make sense. Yaoi and shounen ai mean, "Boy love." If you're not against gay people then you aren't against yaoi! If you're going to say, "I hate yaoi" you have to be way more specific.

And I know what it is you all hate. You hate the fangirls who go around saying, "NARUTO AND SASUKE ARE TOTALLY LIEK GAY TOGETHER AND STUFF!!!!!11" That probably bugs you because, of course, they aren't ACTUALLY in love in the series.

But DON'T say, "I hate yaoi" if you truly are fine with gay people. Because in that case, you would probably enjoy a series were two boys were ACTUALLY together. You just don't like it when the fans pair people who aren't together.

So in reality, you don't hate yaoi -- you hate yaoi fangirls.


Which brings me to this stamp.
Someone on YouTube found out that I liked yaoi and told me, "You like yaoi? I'm un-subscribing to your videos now."

They assumed I was one of those "perverted yaoi fangirls" that seem to annoy everyone in the universe.

Not everyone who likes yaoi is a "fangirl."
I love yaoi, and I'm guilty of pairing characters together.
But I don't shove it in people's faces like a "fangirl" does.
If you don't like a pairing, I'm not going to comment on your deviantART listing all the reasons why you SHOULD like the pairing.
Yes, I like yaoi. But if someone truly doesn't like yaoi, or truly doesn't like a pairing that I support then THAT'S OKAY!

I may draw fanart occasionally for my favorite non-canon pairing, but I'm not going to force it on you. I understand if you don't support the pairings I like. I'm not expecting you to.

Please don't lump all of the yaoi fans into one catagory.
And please stop saying you hate "yaoi" if you really don't. I'm sure most of you who claim you hate yaoi are fine with series like Gravitation and Loveless, because it's canon. Just be more specific if you're going to flame someone, because you come off as a homophobe when you say, "I hate yaoi."

No, really, you do.
