My Thoughts/Curiousity(?) About Harem and /Yuri

My Thoughts About Harem and /Yuri

 
This is my thoughts on those topics. My thoughts. No hard feelings. Just my thoughts. I wonder actually, genuinely wondering how people could be interested in harem and yoai/yuri ok specifically (since there's just too much of them that I couldn't stand). I got that people could be wanting more than one boyfriend at one time and there are also people that into the same gender but I doubt the writers themselves are people like that. Idk man ergh. I want good stories to read and whenever I scroll down the browser all that I found are boyxboy stories. Too many of them that I started to wonder. And there are a few good plots but then I just can sense that they are harem and I feel sorry that I don't want to read them anymore. 
 
It's still cool to make the girl doesn't choose any of the guys and stay as friends or make an open ending for the main characters. But instead of that some choose to end up the girl with all of the guys. Why? Hard to choose? She loves them all equally? She mated with all of them is the most insane one! I just couldn't. I know this is not my problem. I can just not read those kind of stories but the fact that there are a lot of them irk me in some way that I don't even know exist! Make Baek married to Yeol? Kai and Kyungsoo make out? Omg are you serious? It disappoint me that the title caught my eyes but then looking at the characters - baekyeol, yunjae? - what? 
 
I'm sorry if this pissed anyone off but I'm stating my thoughts. This topics need to get out of my head sooner or later no matter what. I respect the choice of writing and I'm just sincerely wondering why such things occur. No one has to answer to that rethorical question anyway. It's basically like why eating cereal with chocolate milk when everyone else is eating cereal with white milk and the answer would probably be just because but someone just have to ask that right. Hahha yeah it's something like that.
 
Or maybe my mind is a bit depressed and this could be my way to release it? Who knows...
 
But I want to know your opinion too. What are your thoughts on the topics related?

i have no problems with /yuri at first...i think probly they become popular because it's easy to pair up ppl from same gender...or rather...same group cuz they're always together so it's easier to get imaginations or idk...but has gotten way too mainstream that i see lots of people proudly say they only read cuz only stories are good n straight ones are craps n i'm like uhuh....i write boyXboy too for pairings i like but seeing the growth of this weird mindset that =better than the rest....i started wanting to fight against the tide n challenge myself to sth else...i do write straight stories as well, mostly using idols...n i also notice people's negativity on OC....i had that negativity too, because of that, i started to try write oc again...just to challenge myself though i was scared of writing OCs i'd hate...speaking of this harem thing or 1 person having multiple pairing...i remember once writing a story where ppl were guessing n discussing over who the female lead would end up with though throughout the story she never really coupled with any of the males...n when i made her end up with no one (cuz she deserve better anyway)...the readers were enraged bcuz i made her pathetic by not ending up with a guy...so called...idk since when a woman needs to end up happily ever after with a guy to be not-pathetic but i guess that's fanficworld for ya...there are trends...most people will love to be part of that trend either consciously or a lot of people are coincidentally the same?...idk....to expect ppl to not be part of trends is well....impossible i guess...but to choose whether to be part of the trend or start a trend or do your own thing is definitely in our control...just like how i'm frustrated seeing all fics are exo + a few other popular groups n none of groups i like...but nothing i can do abt that other than write what n who i want to read...sorry if i'm not answering anything n went out of topic but yeah...

I don't know. Well, different people ought to have different opinion. For me, myself, I didn't even remember how can I get obsessed with , but not yuri. But I just can't stop shipping my fav OTPs. I'm not ashame of myself, instead I'm feel like I'm special. I'm indeed straight, doesn't mean I can't ship two boys. They're cute in some ways, ways that boyxgirl doesn't have. Billion peoples ship boyxboy nowadays, it's not an odd thing anymore. I respect your opinion tho, but you've to know about others' thought too :)

Is it just idols loving a same partner you're hating or gays and lesbos in general? Just asking, though this blog doesn't sit well with me either. But I respect your judgement.

Conjugating with your case, this is our way of releasing the topics that need to get out of our heads sooner or later no matter what. We aren't delusional either. Just purely for imagination purposes and we aren't hitting on anyone or forcing someone to compensate for our sake. We know what we're doing is crazy, but if it satisfies our curiosity, why not enjoy the fun while it lasts.

I understand your point, and typically, this kind of "act" you're witnessing is definitely out of the norms, and I'm guilty of it, but I'm not regretting anything at all. Don't worry, sooner or later, this fiasco will end anyway, you just have to patiently wait. We believe that these boys will be happily married to their fated wives and when that time happens, we won't hold any grudges and smile for them.

After all, these are just our imaginations anyway.

So I get it, you're into original characters then? Or pairing boy idol to a girl idol?
