I know I'm not the only one getting fed up for trolls attacking every yaoi photo and artwork they find.
You are NOT mature. You are NOT respected. You will NOT stop our yaoi.
To all of you who do your own yaoi photos, draw yaoi art, or are just a yaoi fan, I encourage you to do a work similar to the above. I for one want the dA community to know that such flaming, homophobic comments and general asshattery are NOT tolerable.
Thanks for all the comments, and for the favs that are getting this message out there even furthur.
To any flamers who may be considering commenting on this, I have only one thing to say to you: If you don't like it, then why were you stupid enough to click it!?
I totally agree, I've had my own little run in of asshats who trash me for my yaoi content. But hell, what ever! It's what I like, it's what I'll draw! If I see something I don't like of theirs, I'll move on, I wont go out of my way to trash them just to attempt to make myself feel better.
I do love this pic though! It's easily one of my favourites! <3
People are entitled to their own opinions, so those who flame yaoi(and anything really) should just not say anything. They can keep their opinions to themselves and just hate it quietly. I, for one, think yaoi is very cute and I it annoys me when people I know(mostly guys) always diss it and make fun of it and stuff. And if two boys happen to be showing affection in public, I commend them greatly, they have the courage to affection to their partner and don't care about what other people think. And to those who try to put them down, well screw them.
GOOD FOR YOU KELLY! I agree 1000%! You don't like yaoi? GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! YOU WILL NOT STOP THE FREEDOM, THE AWESOMNESS AND THE LOVE THAT IS YAOI!
I admire you Kelly. You and Jenn are both really awesome and the fact that you never let anyone put you down rocks! You are both incredible cosplayers and fantastic people! (I owe you both BIG TIME for getting me back into Kingdom Hearts! )
Love is an eternal and pure force created from all that is good in the world. Love is a Man and a Woman. Love is a Man and a Man. Love is a Woman and a Woman. Love is love.

Anyway, trolls will troll whatever you say - this kind of reaction is probably just the kind of thing that they want to see, vindicating their petty actions. Still, you registering your view on the matter is no bad thing.
People who flame yaoi, and most specifically yaoi cosplayers, are in my eyes guilty of supporting homophobia, and I have no tolerance for that. I agree that people should be entitled to their opinion, but instead of writing "URGH YOU DISGUSTING GAYS!" why can't people be mature and write "Well, I don't really like yaoi, but in regards to the cosplay it's good, and the photo has been well taken." ?
Thank you for showing up all those close-minded people. I am all for doing whatever calls to your heart, but if it interferes with another person's right to love someone, whomever it may be, it should be kept to oneself...
And as always....You guys create some awful cute pictures
I agree, I haven't suffered one homophobic comment on my yaoi or yuri artwork, but I would get really pissed off if someone actually posted one on my deviations. I mean, it's the same as going around bitching about het to everyone. I mean, if we look beyond the obivious difference between het and yaoi or yuri relationships (being genders), what else is different in general? There's always two human beings in love.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

But agreed. When I see work I don't like, I just ignore it. It's the logical way to act, surely!
