I'm aroace and when I was younger I pretty much exclusively consumed mlm content! i think it was because it felt like a safe way to read love stories without having to experience sexualization and objectification of women, which when I was younger really upset me. I didn't like being reminded people could find me sexual and so mlm content was a way to read good romance stories and not have to deal with that

You don’t gotta be attracted to anyone in a romance to enjoy the romance. I’m a lesbian and my primary pair of characters that I constantly translate into new forms and love to imagine being lovey dovey and flirty are both men.

Wait actually this makes so much sense (as someone who was raised female and developed an early love for mlm but found out years later I’m aroace. never understood why it felt safer/easier to read)
