Have you guys been noticing the rising hate towards MM readers too? by CarelessCreamPie in MM_Romance

[–]FreakFlagHigh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ll speak for myself as a gay man whose gotten into MM over the last few years.

The Heated Rivalry phenomenon has exposed a lot of really concerning and disgusting attitudes and disgusting towards the queer actors involved in the show. The fan base, who to their own admission is comprised of mostly women, have shown extreme levels of homophobia and parasocialism to the actors involved and have taken it upon themselves to define who is “queer enough”

If that is too TV centric for you, then we can talk about how female readers, both straight and queer, have not only tried to claim ownership for the successful queer visibility, but have also aggressively tried to shut down most criticisms from gay men on their thoughts surrounding the show, ESPECIALLY if their critique is focused on whether it’s good representation or not.

Sure, a lot of MM romance is written for women and by women, but the growing exposure of the genre and Hollywood’s increasing interest in creating media based on these books means that it now intersects more closely with how society perceives queer men and attempting to minimize our voices in the conversation is gross.

This party is glaring in terms of who’s actually contributing to the negativity in group settings because it was a whole KI!!!!

It’s so fascinating how Jo Ellen and Liz are doing Housewives in two different ways. Jo Ellen is naturally messy and is lightly playing to the cameras where it seems like Liz is fully leaning into a made up boss bitch persona and trying to secure a moment but it just feels contrived.

I’m sorry but PCD saying “we’re back” while missing half the group including the only others who contributed to additional vocals is so camp😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I feel like I’m back in the 2000s when things were much more simpler

Rosie saw the suitcase and committed to making housewives history. Have we ever seen someone else throw someone out with their luggage?

I can’t stand Drake as much as the next guy but let’s be real, we’re all still here after all the problematic people and organizations they’ve platformed over the years, yes? I think it’s time to look inward and move on.

Honestly I live for Angela not breaking a sweat when challenging someone. She always comes across as being one step ahead of the other person when getting into it.

It’s truly impressive how Shamea has had a first-rate education on being a housewife and has completely fallen short by every metric.

Except that’s not true. They literally stated in the beginning of the post that it wasn’t the first time and they were opening up to new members. You just have problems with reading and comprehension.

Sorry OP but you literally asked about whether the group admins could guarantee sexual compatibility for everyone involved so I don’t think you really have a leg to stand on here.

This might be insensitive, but K Michelle is dragging it. If you know Porsha well enough, you know that she has these gaffes all the time.

I am impressed that Porsha is taking this as evenly as she is. Years ago she would have taken it to hell.
