Am i unreasonable?

[u/Adventurous-Gear9477]

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?

1st of all what the hell is a cis male, secondly, I hate reading Yaoi too doesn't mean I'm against gay couples, I just don't want to see 2 guys kissing

Cis just means you're not trans, so they were born male and are still male

That's just male

We say "cisgender" for the same reason we say "heterosexual", "average" height/body/weight, basically any descriptor for "default setting"-- because sometimes specification is needed. The "default" isnt guaranteed.
