I know, but still, it looks a little bit homofobic to me, so I'm supporting this. How is it homophobic to state a character's sexuality/romanticism and have a category for it, exactly? It doesn't even solely apply to characters who are homosexual/romantic; it applies to heterosexual/romantic, bisexual/romantic, pansexual/romantic, asexual/romantic, et cetera.

Well, probably because I've seen people saparating their OCs by "Yaoi" and "Couples" and that's pretty homofobic, since you are saying that "Yaoi" couples aren't really a "normal" couple, somehow. hey maybe you should learn how to spell homophobic before you call something homophobic, ya dingus.

i assume you mean that people are using "yaoi" for mlm, "yuri" for wlw, and "couples" for straight instead of all couples, correct? you should've clarified. you're correct in that it's weird, however, these categories aren't allowed to be used on ocs to begin with, i believe, since "yaoi" and "yuri" are terms that fetishize gay and lesbian relationships, and "couples" is plural and therefore shouldn't be used as a category to begin with.

Sorry, my keyboard keeps correcting me, since English isn't my first language and this word looks almost the same on it. Also, yeah I ment that, and I saw an user who did this, but I don't know if they changed these categories after I saw them.
