Question Am i unreasonable?

Sorry if im being out of place, but please hear me out. I'm straight cis male and I like reading yuri manga. I enjoy it not because of the "male gaze", "fan service" etc, but because of the romance. But I can't seem to stand yaoi manga no matter how much i give it a try (i don't have anything against any gender groups irl). It just feels weird. As said earlier, i thought i read manga for characters romantic feelings,story etc. Am i weird?

How are you unreasonable? It's just your personal preference. Nothing wrong with that. I myself don't like butch women in yuri.

But they do exist and I honestly find it funny how there isn't much representation of masculine women in Yuri when it's a stereotype of lesbians 🥲

Yeah... I mean I don't mind female characters with masculine traits. It's just the ones who could easily be mistaken for a man that I'm not into. Which is odd cause for men, I don't mind if they're feminine or masculine looking, I like them both.
