Yaoi And Shonen-Ai
« on: April 16 2005, 07:13 pm »
I have to admit, I'm one of those yaoi fangirls. That doesn't mean that I don't like canon, and boy/girl pairings....but it emans I like boy/boy couples too!

I don't really get why people don't like these...what's wrong with yaoi?

ehehe.. well i guess i'm one of those Yaoi fanboys ¬¬ lol
well i mean its nice, but i prefer to stick with Shonen-Ai its more lighthearted and nice. plus some of the stories i've heard of them are rather really sweet ^_^ but Yaoi can be alright at times, can't say i like ALL Yaoi tho
(Keep in mind that Yaoi is the more graphic version of Shonen-Ai, just a warning)

It's a No for me as well.

Maybe it's because I just don't like the idea of guys having a relationship like that. And like SLi, I also think the natural boy+girl pairing is a much better relationship. Don't get me wrong though cos I don't have anything against yaoi and its fans. I think it really is also a form of art. Not just the type of art I like...  :keke:

ooohh.. it's a tie. Why do I get the feeling we'll be the losers in this poll, SLi?  :sweatdrop:

Yaoi all the way for me!  Although, the only yaoi I own is some Gundam SEED doujinshi...The closest thing I have to official yaoi is the first two volumes of Fake, both of which are very hot, although it's shounen-ai and not yaoi.  I want the last volume of Fake!  Although I don't like how yaoi tends to be plotless which is why I don't like most hentai anime, so I prefer shounen-ai series with the yaoi kinky stuff mixed in it.
When her leathery, crow-footed face turned towards my raised hand and said, “Yes, the boy in the Sailor Mercury t-shirt,” I sprung into action. It took me a brief 20 seconds to acquire the bokken (wooden sword) I had secured to the underside of our chairs with duct tape the night previous. Shouting “Japan BANZAIII!” in the manner of those noble kamikaze pilots from the War of United States Aggression (so tactlessly referred to in your history books as “World War II”), I charged the stage, bringing down the bokken forcefully onto the plywood table in front of Tiffany Grant. It was a tragic mistake not to channel my ki correctly. The bokken splintered into a thousand pieces, leaving me with no other plan of attack besides shouting, “You’re no Asuka!” as two Ohayocon toughs escorted me out of the room-SomethingAwful.com

the term Yaoi is meant as a graphic version of Shonen-Ai

I don't know anyone gay....but I feel bad about how they are treated, so I wrote a speech about gay right for English.

Is that why I like yaoi and shonen-ai so much?

I know yaoi is more graphic than shonen-ai, but in a lot of places it's becoming the standard term for boy/boy relationships.

I wrote about gay rights once too. Ever since there's been a controversy about it in North America and Europe, I felt like it was too unfair for them to be unable to adopt children and such.

I'm not much of a Yaoi fangirl, but I do like Shounen-Ai. (One of my favourite shounen-ai couples are Seishirou and Subaru, after all :wink:). Most of the time, I try to avoid yaoi that's way too graphic :sweatdrop:

There's nothing wrong with Yaoi ^^ It's just like seeing a couple, but just different genders. They have everything couples have, but everyone has their own different opinions ^^

I love Yaoi.  ^^  I don't read or watch into it  as much as much as I'd like to but oh well.  My favorite coupling though is Yuki x Shuichi, from Gravitation.  Not exactly a yaoi coupling, more of a shounen-ai.

I have absolutely nothing against gays, lesbians or bisexuals.  I have tons of friends who are like that and I love them for who they are, not for what they are.  =]  I'm even part of a club at my high school called the 'Gay/Straight Alliance' and I love it.

They are treated unfairly and i hate seeing that happening to them.  Sure, they're different but were all really the same, they are just different because of their sexuality.  I have nothing against people who don't like gays, les, or bi's...its cool with me.  Its their opinion.   :okay:

The relationship between them is so adorable! ^o^ Shuichi is small and chibi and Yuki is the dominant man in the house lol XD

Definitely.  At first I thought they'd never get together because of how different they were but its fate that they are together!  [squee]  XD   :inlove:
