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

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.

Oh lord, yes. As an avid fan of BL with a lot of slash pairings that are pretty high on the 'do like' list, it does slightly rustle my proverbial jimmies when people throw terms all around because 'everyone understands it anyway so why bother'. Quite like using 'u' for 'you' in that aspect.

I can't stand 99% of the yaoi series out there simply because most of it is a pure insult towards homosexuality, though I don't think you can blame pornography too much for laying it low on emotions for the sake of throwing more sex in there, yet I get thrown in with the fangirls because I love pairings that happen to be between two men. neutral Considering the majority of yaoi fans I've encountered seem fairly fond of fetishising homosexuality or approving rape as long as it's with two hot guys, that's... not too much of a positive thing to me.

to be fair, most yaoi is never intended to be realistic in the least and it could be said most yaoi pretty much is to homosexual romance what Twilight is to het romance, especially when you consider both are aimed at straight females who are looking for a "hawt" escapist romance and usually lack the mental and emotional maturity to realize just how unrealistic it is and how squicky some of what goes on in them actually is. the overfestishing among "yaoi" fans is admittedly an issue tho. it does make most of the fandom look rather unfavorably.

outside of that one of my big issues with the "yaoi" fandom is the rampant ignorance of it. the grater part of the most vocal section of the "yaoi" fandom never even bothers to actually learn anything about it or get their terminology correct. most couldn't accurately tell you what yaoi actually means and a good part also thinks it just means "gay" or something similar. they don't even realize that shonen-ai is a very specific genre that was only active for two decades and is also a term that relates to real life pederasty - they think it just means "yaoi without the porn." and when someone tries to give out some info or teach a new fan a bit about it they start getting branded an elitist and/or know-it-all and told it doesn't matter what they know about it because all that matters is the ******** or the kawaii gay snuggles (to paraphrase things). even without getting into the fact we have a bunch of little fangirls who think they know how homosexual sex works just from over romanticised unrealistic fiction written mostly by straight women and for straight women it's one of the most willfully ignorant and unknowledgeable fandoms I've had the pleasure of interacting with.

outside of the small number of those who actually know their stuff I've had the pleasure of meeting, anyway.

Was Gravitation even good? The last time i brushed past that anime was like in 7th grade and all i remember was the same song playing over and over again and one of the main guys killing someone neutral

Yeah, it was alright. I haven't seen it in forever, either. I just found out recently the author wrote a bunch of doujinshi for the series and looked through them. And stopped when she started drawing Hiro like a woman. rolleyes

Looked hiro up and pfff, That was pretty much bound to happen at some point, poor guy. lol

If 17 year old's are going to be writing her doujin, he'll be in a wedding dress before you know it.

I've read most of the manga from before it went on hiatus and seen the anime (minus the OVAs) and seriously, I think if it was a het romance almost everyone would have wrote it off as mediocre and bland. I actually sold off my copies of the manga even, and I'm enough of a bibliophile me selling a book is pretty much unheard of.

Well, in the actual manga he was straight. And one of the few intelligent characters.

But no, I'm being for real. In one of the side notes the author leaves, it said something like "I had 17 year old girls help me with this scene." burning_eyes

But actually admitting it? Dayum, have some pride woman.

Hmm, I simply wanted to create a forum to bring gays together and yaoi fans together to discus what they love about yaoi and anime in general and make new friends. I had NO idea there would be so much controversy... Time to write rules... stressed

You may to instead make a guild then.

Also this is a thread within the AMC forum. wink

But there are already like a million of those.

Eh, I'm not gay and I actually have troubles with most everything about yaoi culture, but I do appreciate gay animated/cartoon porn and queer slash of any variety.

Gravitation was pretty bad. I remember watching it when I was twelve or thirteen and could be thoroughly engaged by even the most remote modes of boy-love titillation and still thinking that show was terrible.
