am i an asian fetishizer

 hello, my name is granger peetersburg, and i wanted to share an experience of mine that may seem a little weird. 

basically, i am a fujoshi! i love BL, and always have been a LGBTQ+ supporter (in secret), i also suffer from a bit of body dysmorphia. but - for some reason, i get a bit icky when my sister suggests i watch american BLs or gay content. before you get the wrong idea for what im about to say, i AM black—just mixed. so, my sister said i should watch this one show / movie starring black gay men (i forgot the title and what it is even about), and she also told me it was a bit sad!

personally, i kind of hate sad stuff and queerness in america. the way they portray it and stuff is really weird, plus, i already knew since it was going to be black men in there, it was going to be sad because apparently being black means to be in despair 3000% of the time.

i grew up with a lot of asian stuff, and my interest in BL started with gacha life, then progressed. soon, i started to watch KBLs, JBLs, and Thai ones, too. so, my roots are deep in the asian productions. im pretty reluctant to switch anyway, so i said i wasn’t going to watch it and instead mentioned a show i was watching—pornographer. she called me an asian fetishizer, and said people are going to think i am one.

personally, my taste is very far from asian people. maybe i am? i dunno. i read a lot of gay books that takes place in america or in other countries and doesn’t deal with asia or asians at all. plus i love red, white, and royal blue, maurice, and tons of amazing american and other cultures’ short films. but if i am watching something like a show or drama, its 100% going to be asian.

What?

Ok first off, your sister called you an Asian fetishizer probably because you brought up a show called pornographer (which I'm assuming is nsfw?) after declining a show that starred a gay black role and I assume you told her all the things you said? If you didn't explain all this I'd say that calling you that is rather brash but if you did ehhh.. . . .. she could be saying that due to you not watching anything other than Asian shows

Secondly, why'd you just assume it was going to be horribly sad because it starred someone black? There are plenty of shows that don't just share black people going through despair or sad situations! But even then, why is it an issue having characters go through things?? especially if it was "only a bit" sad!

I think you need to just branch out and watch more shows that aren't Asian productions before just stating your fairly interesting case for things that you haven't even actually watched, it's cool that you read books that aren't, but shows and books are very different atleast I think

I'm not the best at conveying my words so this could all be yap btw xD someone will probably comment smth a little better who knows
