Do you guys think yaoi is wrong because I'm a big fan of it. Not so mush yuri. Anyway please let me know your views. For those of you who don't know what yaoi is, it's male/male relationships usually in anime.

It just relates back to Japanese history, as many parts of anime do. Male-male relationships were quite commong among samurai warriors. Partly it was sexual, but partly it was also a master-apprentice sort of relationship, as well.

I don't read yaoi or watch it or have any association with it for that matter, so I'm pretty much indifferent about the whole situation. I think it might be encouraging people to be homosexual or be more open-minded and become bisexual, but otherwise it shouldn't be considered bad. However, I don't even think it would encourage people to change their sexual orientation because that's just how people are born, whether they're attracted to certain gender or not. Okay, I'm getting off track now. Anyway, it's fine in my book as long as parents find it appropriate for the children to look at...

It's like...gay anime. ._.


I don't see anything wrong with it...I guess you'd have to have a problem with homosexuals or pictures of girlish guys hitting on each other in a book for young girls to not like yaoi. I guess it's a little weird...whatever. I don't read it, so I don't really care.

Hm, while i don't support homosexuality really, if that's how a person is there's no changing it i guess. For animes, I don't really mind tooo much, but i don't go out of my way to watch/read yaoi vids/mangas however it does bother me when people write fanfics for non-yaoi anime making them yaoi because it changes what the plotline may be about, but i do recognize that that person is simply coming up with their own story thing but i just can't make sense of it all @_@ ....

no yaoi isnt really pornographic. i read a couple of mangas but there has never been any nudity sex scenes.

not unless you go buy some online lol. but usually mangas dont have nudity in them.

I'm not against homosexuality but I don't really support it either. And I guess yaoi is OKAY but only to a certain extent... like no sexual scenes or anything like that is fine with me. I've seen a couple of mangas that happen to be yaoi and so far, most had kissing and more extreme stuff. I really don't like it when they're serious and having sex, since thats gross. But it's also funny when its meant to be a joke like fancomics about SasuNaru. I think its a funny couple but I don't like make-out scens. Did that make sense? XP

I love yaoi soo much!!! (^___^)

There's a bit of shonen ai in Loveless! Ahahaha! I found tons of yaoi fans when I watched PoT! So, I guess it's normal to like yaoi!

Though, I got in trouble at Borders for trying to buy a yaoi manga....So, I'm never going there again...(>__<)...

First of all, I don't agree with it. Second of all, I stumbled across a Gundam Wing yaoi site in 6th grade and found some disturbing fan art (it would have been disturbing whether it was shonen ai or just hentai... I had just found out what sex was) and gross fanfictions (Quatre becoming pregnant though he was male and stuff, weird)...

But the weirdest part of all was that I didn't mind the shonen ai stuff in Hanakimi... There was a lot of that and I didn't really care...

But, whatever, that's just my opinion.

I have a good friend who's obsessed with yaoi stuff. She has websites dedicated to her favorite yaoi couples and such. She's usually infatuated with one or both of the guys in the couple but I don't understand. If he was gay, he'd never like her if he was real...

As long as you love manga/anime, I think that's cool.

Rin-chan
