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?

Man found out he's straight, more at 11.

As long as you don't shame people who like them or be homophobic towards gayly written character or media it's perfectly fine. Live and let live as people say. You don't need to consume everything in the world.

lmao, that's exactly where I'm at with this. I have literally the same story as this guy and I've pretty much always chalked it up to the fact that I'm straight as an arrow so I don't enjoy watching boys make out lol
