Yaoi. Odd for liking it? Yes or no?

I love it.

While I am not a fan, I don't think that anyone is odd for liking it, especially considering the reason that it was created in the first place. Yaoi was originally drawn so that girls could read stories with romance and love making in it, and feel safe as they did, because it wasn't a girl and a guy, so they could distance themselves from it somewhat (sex in Japan was very taboo, and thinking about it being a part of everyday life as they grew older made many women feel uncomfortable). But, considering that there is usually one character who is the submissive one, that one may very well represent the female in some people's minds.

most guys seem fond of the idea of lesbians. my friends is one of then described it as having what you like x2. i guess its not un-logical for girls to be the same >X 3

I don't think you are weird at all for liking Yaoi heck I like Yaoi & Boys Love. I think they are both sexy & romantic as heck. I also like June manga especially when it comes to the good storylines they have when it comes to Little Butterfly one of my favorite June manga to read.

I don't think its odd. I like yaoi and boys love but if the story isn't good or art then I don't read it. Same as any other series I try to get into.

no

Considering how fricken HUGE the market is for it in Japan, I would say you aren't exactly odd for liking it. However, that would be the consideration in Japan.
In American or western culture--females enjoying male on male can be a bit taboo. It also depends on whether you like shounen-ai or straight up yaoi. Odds are you'd get less flack for enjoying male on male romance compared to male on male porn. Recently more and more women admit to watching and enjoying gay porn so it's not exactly all the out of the ordinary-- just out of the ordinary to share openly. xd

liking it is weird but LOVING IT on the other hand is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL XD jks. Yeah liking BL is totally normal.
