With all due respect, no one is forcing you to like BLs, or any queer works. But as a decent human being, I hope you can understand the importance of diversity and inclusion, the values that so many people have fought hard for in this century. Queer representation in media helps countless people feel seen and accepted in ways they often are not lucky enough to experience in their daily lives. You don't have to enjoy them, act in them, or even talk about them but please have a little empathy and conscience when speaking about them if you are given the chance.
This is not rocket science, it's basic decency.
Famous Japanese actor Ryusei Yokohama made controversial remarks about BL and said he doesn���t understand the meaning of diversity.
“This is just my personal opinion. I’m not interested in BL or that kind of thing. I don’t understand any of it, so for me, no. As for this whole diversity issue, I simply don’t understand its meaning. That’s all. Of course, BL and this kind of content exist because there’s demand for it, but all I meant was that I don’t understand what the purpose of it is.”
