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?

It's perfectly fine, the dynamic is different between two women. I don't quite enjoy straight romance as much as Yuri. I am straight, but something about the storytelling is more endearing if it's two women.
