Probably, part of what you’re seeing with yaoi being treated the way it is is that men and their sexuality are basically constantly under attack in the culture war as creepy, oppressive, objectifying, low-status, etc.

But of course, as the sex with higher average libido and a more visual sexuality (because hormones), they are far more vulnerable to these sorts of attacks.  Someone who has no sex drive at all can basically dunk on someone who does have a sex drive all day long, portraying them as evil and objectifying.

Of course, women (including lesbians, as TUOC has posted about) are not actually pure angels, despite what the culture warriors say.

Yaoi then, under this framework, is an exploitable vulnerability to snap back at the attackers and make them shut up - a weakness in the social justice armor.

And for those who have a Correct sexuality under SJ terms, it can be exploited for social standing.

Then of course there are the people that are actually annoyed by it.  Not all gay men, for instance, really enjoy straight women coming into gay bars.

Something that is germane to the topic is that “East Asian” practically is a valid ethnicity in its own right, once you’ve emigrated to a non-Asian country and assimilated to the point that the grandchildren don’t speak “their” native tongue and are only distinguishable by having epicanthic folds.

Technically, the mother countries may all hate each other, but on the playground, it’s all the same teasing.

(Kids can be quite harsh!)

it seems dangerous to play something like baseball in australia. if you go after a ball you hit out of the diamond, you'll probably end up grabbing some sort of deadly insect or something instead of the ball.

First, a dingo runs off with your ball, then you get lost in the vast wilderness between the cities and die.

I suddenly realised I have no idea how to refer to the round objects used in a game of baseball

baseballs? doesn’t sound right

baseball balls? surely not

That’s what they are, Argumate.  One is a baseball, more are baseballs.

“About the size of a baseball.” “He hit a baseball over the fence.”  Etc.

I feel like maybe you don’t belong in America (or Japan).

(Nah I’m just kidding, Japanese would probably use some counter so the plural form wouldn’t be “baseballs” (per se).)

shtpost this is a joke but you'll have to get used to it
