ariadnem | Yaoi o antiyaoi, esa es la cuestión...[2]

I wanted to begin this in Spanish, but I think I better do it in English, I can translate it later on. Anyways, I've been delaying this for so long now, and I think it's time to do it.

holymegasaint to me is not a sane person. Her way to describe people who like yaoi is to say the least...depicable. She calls us "insane" and even heterophobic. I wish I could slap her in her face for such a thing. Oh yes, I have to admit there are fans who can'control themselves and become a pain in everyone's ass, but not everybody is like that.

I respect everyone's point of view, but I believe this girl has crossed the line of my patience and I've lost it. I'm old enough to be someone's older sister. I got married almost six years ago, and I love yaoi. What does it make me, then? An insane person? I'm not heterophobic whatsoever. I love men, I love sex with men (never tried a gal, though). Anyways

I've been ranting about them (antiyaoi people) for months already. It's not that they're wrong. They're entitled to like whatever they please; it's the way they express themselves, the way in which they pretend to have all the reason and the right to mistreat others. That's what makes me angry. Really angry. it's the same way priests treated people during the Inquisition. Straight have treated gays for decades. Men have treated women. All this to me is, unacceptable.

Again, I accept there are girls who also cross the line in the yaoi world. We, the people who write yaoi take a character and create for him a setting in which he's in love with another man. Now, just because we make them homosexual doesn't mean they're damisels in danger, and unfortunately they're portrayed like that. Most of times. Not everybody does, though. That was the first thing my husband told me when he read my first yaoi story ever. "don't turn then into women, Cone. They're men, despite their sexual preferences." he was 100% right. (he always is)

Now, I have said things like "they should get a life" "they should get laid every now and then." I know what I've said is too...bold and inpudent, but let me explain myself here. In the yaoi world, we write a lot about sex and explore relationships to a very deep extent. I wonder if the people who complain so much about yaoi all the time have ever read Toffee's stories, or Animom's or Sagakure's or many other writers who have created good things. They complain and say yaoi doesn't have a background. It does. My stories are that...my stories, but they do have a background. The ones by the people I've mentioned before and by others whose name I can't recollect at the moment, have a background, one so powerful, we've cried with them, and laughed and said, "they're good". Also, in yaoi, we explore sex a lot. Why? I truly don't have an answer for that and even when in non yaoi fics some people do, they tend to be so lamely written and the woman ends up being so...dunno...Mary Sue???

I know there are people out there who have written very good non yaoi stories. One of my favorites, no, my favorite one is "La Batalla de los Doce Tresors" by Altair. I discovered yaoi first, then this one story, it's wonderful.

It's non yaoi...what does it make me then? I like yaoi....non yaoi...what a freaking freak I am.!!!!! oh God forgive me!!!!!... for liking what I like and for being who I am...btw....thanks for making me that way ^_~

Anyways, I'm enraged with the antiyaoi groups who can't show some respect. yes, we take characters other people have created and make something different out of it. It's pretty clear to me that we, the yaoi fans, are a wee bit more respectful than they'd probably ever be. No, I don't accept rabbid yaoi fangirls, but then again, don't make things general. I'm mad at the girls who have been around writing all that crap about us, and about yaoi. I'm mad at the insulting comments they make, so full of anger, frustration and rubbish.

holymegasaint , you asked me at the Saint Seiya Zone Forum to upload some images of yours and your friend shunjune at Labyrinth, my website. I tried to be polite and answered that you have to keep in mind my web has yaoi content in it. Well, this is my answer to you. You are not welcome at my Labyrinth. Nor is your friend. Had you shown a different attitude, a more respectful one, things might have been different, but well, that's my answer. I thought I lived in a century where tolerance was part of our daily lives, but I was wrong. You and all your friends have proved me how wrong I was. So, get your antiyaoi groups, life and so and enjoy them greatly . I wish you the best. I hope you can learn how to write better in both, English and Spanish. I hope your Antiyaoi League works fine. And that you actually get a f****** life. I hope you are a happy person one of these days.

And I also hope I can have you as far from me as possible.

I won't hide this post, I'll leave it open for whoever wants to comment, since we, contrary to you, do know what to say and how.
