[What Is Yaoi] Most Yaoi fans are girls?

Women often have a better time relating with the uke('female') of the relationship rather than an actual woman, who they see as a rival rather than as someone to relate to.

That said, yaoi is an idealized depiction of a male/male relationship, which can turn off some(but not all) gay men to the genre. ^^

Hey, I'm not complaining. Girls created it >.> So leave them alone.

what can I say, boys are sexy... I don't get any pleasure from looking at girls, so thats why I love boy on boy.

The same way boys stare at lesbian couples, we stare at yaoi couples! ~lol~

I think that most guys are probably in denial about liking it whether they're straight, gay, bi.

Bpphrasnrabbhlu. Cool word~ ...No?

So... Heh. I randomly came in here, and, like, found an interesting conversation. But my opinion would probably be the simplest ever; I think it could matter no less who likes, or who hates, yaoi. It's kind of like... If boys would want to wear pink, then they should be entitled. If girls dream to be a car mechanic, they should be entitled. It's just... some things are a bit too overruled by the opposite genders... Girls can wear any colours, boys "can't" wear pink? (Ugly example) Boy's can't play with barbies, and girls can't play with toy cars? ._.; Okay... Now, I've been rambling. But my point is that yaoi, and anything else, should be for anyone. In this case, it seems to be more for girls, but there still is a male audience, so, it's fine. I guess it has to do with either likes and dislikes... or, obviously, the way of the modern world. xD I will now cease to digress.

I agree with you. There should not be things that are just female or just male. cheese_whine

I take issue with any portrail of male homosexuality that exists "for women"

I sure hope most yaio fans are girls....  

[Way2hottguy]

I'm gay and I actually kinda like the yaoi made for girls more than the ones for gays, but that's just because theres a bit more emotional crisises and stuff. It makes it a little more interesting.

of course..because it's a girl's pleasure to see two boyz getting it on. sort of like the same concept as how boyz likes to watch porn or yuri. it's human nature!! biggrin xd

I agree.

Most often yaoi manga is written by female mangaka for a female consumer market.

I think it's sort of the same idea as a straight guy wanting to see two hot girls make out.  

[darkmage009]

I believe that yaoi and boy's Love anime are originally intended for fangirls. I am a girl and I think that's a proof most girls supports yaoi. 3nodding

There was an article in NewType about this some time back.
