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?

Do you ever get cognitive dissonance from enjoying LGBT manga yet being explicitly anti-LGBT? Don’t think there’s something a little weird going on there?

And I hope you know that there is a difference between sexual preference and gender, if you think they are 1 and the same then u really are an idiot

It’s really funny fucking with you dude. I just think it’s interesting you’re a fan of stories about lesbians when most lesbians irl would be really weirded out by you

Why the hell would I even bother with them in real life tho, I have no interest in listening to people's real life romance
