Wow, I really hate hypocritical fanbrats.
I have seen cases in which gay men in real life are marginalized by yaoi fans: if I had a nickel for every time a middle-aged, portly gay couple who have beards and body hair have been chased down by a crazy fangirl with a copy of Gravitation in her hand, screaming “FAGGOTS!” at them, I would be a very rich man.

I've seen this too. A girl blatantly cooing over "the hawt yaoi!!1!" and going "EW if ur gay or dyke dun friend my journal!1!11" in the same breath. My head exploded; how could you like yaoi and at the same time despise real-life homosexuals? Oh wait, this is marketing. Naturally all the men are bishounen and fall into one or more stereotypes. If it's not their icicle seme or sparkly uke whose beauty makes Apollo look rusty, it's bad, icky and gross.

I'm so tempted right now to draw art of all my favorite BL ships that involve an "ugly" person in them. Except I'd always think it's an insult to call him ugly; in reality, I think he looks hot. Maybe it's because *GASP* character appeals to me more and I don't see appearances as a detriment but another way of writing and looking into a character's psyche? Can't do that with fangirls, I guess. They're so bubble-minded and ignorant they don't have the capacity to think.
