Not much point to this entry, I just need to rant

I don't care how much you love Fruits Basket, it doesn't belong in a yaoi comm. There is no yaoi in it, there is no shounen-ai in it. Anyone in it who remotely comes across as gay ends up ends up in love with a woman.

Honestly, I don't get why some fans insist on posting the wrong content to comms. Would it really have been that hard to post to [livejournal.com profile] free_manga instead? Where all genres of manga is allowed to be posted. Or perhaps a shoujo manga comm? (assuming one exists)

This isn't the first time I've seen it happening (not with [livejournal.com profile] yshare mind you, but other comms). It would be one thing if it was an accident but when you specifically say "I know this isn't normally allowed here", that should be your big clue not to post it. It's just, why get people pissed at you when you could have posted in the right comm?

(btw, this has nothing to do with me not liking Fruits Basket, I would be just as annoyed if it was something like Bleach, Reborn or D.Gray-man)

Why would you want to share a manga without slash in a yaoi community. O_o

Exactly! She said it was her favourite manga or something and that's why she wanted to share it. Which is fine, sharing stuff is great, but share it with the right community next time!

Isn't free manga bigger? And FB isn't lacking in fans or anything.

free_manga only bigger by 11000 members (11063 to be exact).

Haha, exactly. It's way bigger than any other manga sharing comm.
