"Homophobes"? That's a very harsh word, that borders "crime". It's not a matter of fear, it's a matter of "preference" - now that's a commonly used one in the Yaoi/Yuri realm, if I'm not mistaken. I don't like the sight, so I asked (or better, someone else asked before me) if there's a possibility to rule it out. Period. If not, whatever. But it seems the discussion fell into the "inevitable" (as Smith in Matrix Reloaded says) hatred between Non-Yaoi/Yuri X Yaoi/Yuri... Too bad, judging by the tone of the posts and replies true tolerance and democracy really seems to be miles away - oh well, good thing this is not politics, it's just a manga forum, so I just might be overreacting.

Are you sure you don't want to rethink your comments?  You seem to grossly misunderstand the terms 'tolerance' and 'democracy'.  Asking others to create filters to block out things you don't like isn't tolerance it's avoidance which is essentially passive intolerance.  If you want to push the political comparison asking for filters is a lot like advocating segregation or apartheid.  True tolerance would be to accept that everything uploaded to the site is equal and that you have to live with the stuff you don't like along with the stuff you do like.  On the subject of democracy go look at the Genre Filter poll thread in the announcements section, as of this posting 72% of respondents favor no filter.  There are enough who do favor a filter to make noise about it but the poll results don't lie.  Loud noise from a few is not the same as popular support by the many.
