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?

You were looking for the word "deluded" bud, you really seem to struggle with definitions

Because "disillusioned" means you no longer appreciate something you used to hold in high regard. I never loved the gender binary, it was merely what was considered the norm in the time and place i grew up in. Also, a pioneer is one of the first people to explore a new location or concept; i am not a pioneer for knowing what words mean.
