I wanted to clear something up that's been stuck in my mind, relating to Reverie. If you followed for that story, please read this.
Those of you who have read Reverie past a certain point know about this particular announcement between chapters of how I was going to release two more versions of the story, edited to respectively include a male protagonist and a non-binary protagonist. This idea primarily came to me because I had recently come out as trans ftm.
I'm still going to make these versions, but I wanted to focus on a small line in the announcement. I've fixed it a little while ago, but many people had read it before that. Specifically about the planned male version, I added a small comment saying "yes, it's going to be gay".
This bugged me for a REALLY long time because it really just seemed like I was fetichizing homosexual male relationships, in the style of the "OMG yaoi is sooo kawaii >.<" girls, which disgusts me SO much. Why else would the readers assume I added that comment? It was redundant to what I was saying previously.
The reason I had added this is because some writers genderbend characters with the intent of keeping the ship straight. So, in this hypothetical case, alongside genderbending the protagonist, Chris would be genderbent as well. I did not want to do that, so I clarified with the comment, but... it probably just misrepresented the whole thing.
I'm here to state: I don't fetichize gay male relationships, I find that practice abhorrent. Gay relationships are just another color of romance and are not inherently "cuter" or something to be gawked at, especially by non-masculine people. I don't want to be associated with this in any way.
I've also just been working on updating the wording of my profile. I created this account when I was a preteen and used language like "waifu" even though I barely watch anime LMAO. So, just excuse my general cringiness, I've just been too lazy to revisit old stuff that I typed.
