The rabids take thing too far I think. Especially the straight ones calling themselves "seme" and "uke" when they are not a gay boy. It doesn't refer to anything more than the prefered sexual position. Also what bugs me is the "Will Yaoi for fangirls." What the ******** is that? Since when do we force straight guys to have sex with each other in order to get fan girls. I don't understand it. But then again the Twilight fangirls are so much worse I can't even begin to explain.
Omg twilight jesus, dont even start,
i think the "will yaoi for fan girls", omg you dont understand till you go to an anime convention >_> its crazy
Two guys dressed as anime characters RABID GIRLS EVERYWHERE im not one of them but its really quite sad, its like a train wreck you seriously cant look away.
I totally agree with the stereotype ive seen those types of girls and I know for a fact they are out there giving us a bad name. I refuse to use kawaii and desu in Jap-english only in full sentences and since I dont know japanese I wont use those words anytime soon (ITS CUTE NOT FKKN KAWAII) it just makes you look stupid and i think that yelling at those fan girls is fine, but dont judge the rest of us,
and stop hating on the boy-fans I have a perfectly straight friend who writes yaoi fan fictions all the time, dont be hating on his genius them stupid yaoi haters

OH! and about the bisexual thing I really hate the slutty fakers, who play with my heart like they do, damn bi-faking girls >_>

I have a gay guy at school who hates my guts after reading my slash story. He basically put me in the same category as a "rabid fan girl" when I don't remember ever yelling in excitement about yaoi or anything gay ever. Not even at anime conventions. I remember being at my last convention and asking if I was at the line for the yaoi panel. The three girls yelled "Yaoi" in excitement and I thought my ears were going to bust. It was quite sad that he hates my guts for a story that I wrote.

I hate to break it to you girl....but that stereotype exists because it's generally the truth.

Sure like most cases there are many exceptions, but in this case majority rules out.


I'm going to have to agree with this statement here. Although sometimes I wonder if it's not just because they're louder. You see, there is being a Yaoi fan, someone who happens to enjoy the genre and takes general pleasure from reading it, and the Yaoi fan girl, one who takes such enjoyment to an extreme level and proclaims her love for the genre at the top of her lungs at decible breaking sound, generally reserved for shattering glass every chance she gets.

This is where I think the problem tends to lie. Because the fan girls are generally so loud and obnoxious, the mellower fans just get lumped into the stereotype because they are rarely heard. Sure every once in a while someone will take notice to a level headed fan of Yaoi who makes an itelligent comment on something... Most of the time though, people remember the screaming thing about five posts above, lump you in with her, and don't listen.

Luckily the only "discrimination" I have faced as a fan of Yaoi (well, slash in this case) is from screaming fangirls who insist their favourite character "iS not gaye!!!!!!!11111!!11!!" I think I have gotten off easy considering very few people, if any, have called me a pervert and told me to, "get a life."

Personally, I've yet to be insulted as being a stereotypical female yaoi fan. However, I've seen a lot of flaming and roasting in the forums.

I agree with you, but for myself I wouldn't say I'm "stereotypical". Usually when I'm around people who don't like yaoi I don't talk about it. Though at conventions I usually find them. At panels for yaoi I see more females then males. And the males are either gay or come with thier girlfriends.

Ugh... don't even get me started on yaoi fangirl discrimination. All I can say is that people these days are WAY too biased and b****y about small things. There. I will say no more. >x<

well i've recieved some nasty comments about liking yaoi (they found out that i read yaoi mangas or watch tv series and through my sketch pad full of shounen ai), most of my friends even go"eeeeewwwww". And i'm like "you guys are total arse, i like yaoi where all things are cute unlike your faces!". they just don't see the bright side in yaoi. and it's more of the context in the story that i like not the buttxbutt sessions! sigh.

i don't like how someone who just like's something is discriminated against but your thread is a really good idea sometimes when i post on threads there is a lot of hate towards fangirls and sometimes fanboys  
PostPosted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 8:05 am
Not really.
My friends at school know that I'm into it, and we have a small community of 3 or 4 people (Maybe more) who are into it, and everyone else just kinda leaves us alone.
The only 'discrimination' I get is one of my friends calling it 'gay porn', so I bring in some shounen-ai pictures and tease him with them. smile
I enjoy laughing at his ignorance. ^^
I'm sure that if the entire student population knew about it, there would be a certain amount of discrimination for it.

Honestly, what bugs me the most is that, apparently, if you 'ship anything m/m, you're clearly only 'shipping it because it's m/m.

Um. No. Honestly, I'm a het, yaoi, and yuri fangirl, and if I 'ship something, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the genders.

On that note, it really bugs me when people only 'ship yaoi, yuri, or het exclusively as well. Buuut, whatever. I know I'm only going to start a flame war if I get into that.

I know! It's to do with the way the characters are, I mean, a lot of people ship, for example Harry/Ron from Hp...but even though I love BL and slash, I still think Ron and Hermione make a way cuter couple. Sigh.

@Drakie: Aww *hug* I call all my friends fags, but it's a term of endearment in that context xD

Okay, that thread you posted pissed me off, but I know that there ARE decent minded yaoi fangirls out there.

P.S: Some of those guys in that thread are just *ssholes. They got a foot shoved up their butts or something? Because I don't know anyone who could be such an ignorant jerk like those people in real life.

Lately, I've found that those who dislike Yaoi or Yuri tend to be the more obnoxious, annoying ones.

Which makes them hypocritical asshats.
