I just love it when I see a "yaoi" fan who doesn't even know the difference between real yaoi and slash pairings

I really don't understand how a dedicated fan of something can't be buggered to get their terminology correct when a casual fan of the stuff like me knows the difference between slash, shonen-ai, Boy's Love (yes, shonen-ai and BL are two different things), yaoi, tanbi, gei-comi/bara, and homoerotic stuff that isn't actually from one of the genres that focus on male/male pairings. you'd think if a casual fan of the homoerotic spectrum of anime and manga could get that stuff down a more dedicated fan of it would find it a rather easy task.
Why are you on the offense? I was trying to keep it simple for everyone else. Oh, and you forgot shota, my personal favorite. So yes, I am a legitimate fan of yaoi. However, most people who search these forms are noobs(no offense to anyone!) And they are just excited to talk about it. You prove my point. you knew what I was trying to convey. They will too.
