Y’all…

b-mommy:

Please do not describe the well and respectfully written canon queer relationships in Dragon Age as “yaoi.”

Yaoi is a specific genre/subgenre that portrays m/m relationships in a very fetishistic and otherwise problematic way and packages them for consumption by heterosexual audiences.

It is insulting.

    Never thought yaoi as derogatory, but when it’s put that way, now I see it.
