I agree with DeviantProtagonist here-- Amazing_Grace, there wasn't a need for you to bring up that you disapprove of homosexuality in general. Given the size of this forum, there are likely to be a few LGBT+ members, so there's a chance that one of them could've seen this and felt uncomfortable. I know you didn't intend it to come off that way, but saying that yaoi and yuri ships make you cringe could be potentially hurtful. You could've just said that you wish there were more straight ships in imas because you're not big on yaoi and yuri, and then left it at that. Obviously, I don't want to drag this into a huge debate on this thread, so if you want to discuss this on PM, then we can.
Anyways, I personally do support yuri ships. I know they're not canon, but it's nice to imagine that maybe some of the girls are more than friends. I'm personally not big on R-18 stuff regardless of what kind of relationships it has. I'm just not a fan of sexually explicit stuff in general, and my discomfort with it is even greater because most of the idols are underaged. I don't really care for more straight ships in imas-- there are canon straight relationships in a lot of other works so I don't see a need for them here. I'm not opposed to straight ships and there are some that are kind of cute, but like, for example, I don't really see the sideM guys as potential love interests for any of the female idols (I'd rather have them be with each other, to be honest ;P) . Of course, there's so much more to imas than shipping, and there are lots of characters I don't really ship with anyone, but frankly, if I'm gonna ship something here, then it's probably gonna be gay.

Alright, I can see what you're saying. I'm sorry if it came out sounding rude or hurtful. I honestly did not mean it to come across as hurtful to any of the people, I suppose I was trying to take an opportunity to express a bit of my personal feelings on the subject matter and yes, this is not the time or place to do such a thing. So I apologize for coming across as condescending or rude.
millefeuille:
Thank you for apologizing!
Amazing_Grace:
Of course. Thank you for pointing out I'd come across as rude, to you and Deviant. I should be more careful when choosing words next time.
DeviantProtagonist:
Much obliged. Expression of thought is fine, but so is discretion on matters like this.
