A phenomenon I'm not too fond of is the concept of male homosexual relationships being romanticized, often by teenaged straight women. It's appearant to me that this defeats any idea of homosexual normalization.
You can't be like everyone else if you are constantly being swooned over for your sexual relationships.
But the appeal is understandable. Especially when you look at it from the perspective of those so preoccupied with the concept. Teenage Straight Girls.
The idea of erotic excess is a common one. Taking two things you like and combining them to make a better thing appeals to our human, gluttonous nature. So for those attracted to boys, the idea of two of them being in a sexual relationship with one another makes it all that much more appealing. The relationships unattainable nature to the onlookers only escalating its value.
This is why we have so much yaoi fan art. Putting that relationship in the form of something under your control, under your ownership, makes you somewhat of a participant. You are part of that relationship now in your mind.
An especially potent idea when the relationship you fantasize about is a fictional one. Because if it wasn't for you, it wouldn't exist. You made the relationship. You own it. You are not only the owner, and indeed master, but the sole participant.
That romantic idea of so called boy-on-boy love pushes it past any real attainable goal, or situation, and into a symbol. It reimagines that which society has historically seen as ugly, as beautiful. So many people think it's wrong, and that's what makes it so erotic.
Don't push the button, or something will happen. I'm serious.
Of course you're going to push the button. So much emphasis has been put on the action of pushing the button that it doesn't matter what context surrounds it.
Of course we love two boys kissing. So much emphasis has been put on them kissing that it doesn't matter the context.
With this context, it's easy to see why incest, and lolitas are becoming more popular fetishes in the modern day.
The hate society has shown them is the same as the love we show them now. It's unhealthy.
But it's cute, so why not?
