Yaoi is popular in the Anime Fan Circles and J-Fan's, but are those circles even popular themselves? maybe, Maybe, 1 in 30 kids like it now a days. It seems more popular than it is because anime fan's tend to be drawn to each other, and the same for yaoi fans. So when all your friends tend to be fans (not always) you feel like Yaoi's everywhere around you except in the stores and on tv like it should be.


It's weird, because I know no one in my school who is in love with yaoi. I'm probably the only yaoi fangirl there. I have one friend who supports it, but we were friends years before we both even knew what yaoi was. My school has tons of anime fantics. Most don't even know what yaoi or shonen-ai is, let alone like it. Yet I still thought yaoi was popular.

I would LOVE to see yaoi on television. It could be some bishonen-ai, but I'd love to see more titles released in the states as well!

American made yaoi!?!?! My brain will not allow me to accept it. Besides, I really don't think main stream tv is ready for a pro-gay/yaoi/slash, what ever tv show/anime. (ahhh) Anyway, the only stations that might air that would be Logo, or something like that. I don't know if I could watch it, though. I think of manga as a Japanese thing, and it kind of makes me sad to see that taken over by the rest of the world until it'll be no longer Japanese. That makes me cry.....I want Japan to keep it all to them selves!!! So what if I love Japan and I have a biased view. Oh well, thats what I think......

P.S.

At my school, all my friends LOVE yaoi. It's like we feed off each others obsessions. It's kind of weird, but they're awesome to hang with. My school is really too small though, so we're really the only anime fans as it is. My whole grade is only 50 people..... ^_^

I dont know about you but I like some weastern yaoi. Stalion and yaoi hentai was really good. But If your not into pure smut then dont read yaoi hentai. I think there is this one yaoi that may not be weastern but you should look at it. The book is called "pleasure Dome" I think and its reather interestig because its three different stories the first two are smuttie but the other one is just cute so yeah. that is some of my things
um... Bye

*snort* It's a sad thing, but it's not gonna happen for a long, long time. Any kind of homoerotica, whether intentional, unintentional, blatant, implied, et cetera et cetera et cetera is immediately slammed down by any kind of censorship company or overprotective parents and self-righteous protestors.

Good example of this? Spongebob Squarepants. Nickelodean show. Sponge under the sea. There's a pineapple-house involved. Thass' all you really need to know.

Now, Spongebob is a wildly popular kid's show, but his best friend Patrick and him have caused complaints among parents. Why?

To be frank, it's 'coz the two of them act pretty gay.

I remember hearing about how buisnessmen- BUISNESSMEN, suits and ties and briefcases and all, would go onto talk shows and actually discuss Spongebob's homosexuality. Now, if grown men have the time to be concerned about hints of a same-sex relationships between a sponge and a starfish, you really think there's gonna be any kinda mainstream animated BL anytime soon between two humans? Pshh. Sea creature's ain't safe, and neither are we.

@Kitsune-chi: That reminds me of that big Teletubbie scandal a few years back. One of them had purse and that apparently made him gay. There was this huge retarded debate on the news channel on it. All I could do was laugh at the stupidity.

P.S.: Spongebob is gay for Squidward not Patrick. The businessmen need to get it right. rofl

Yes. Tinkie-Winkie, the purple teletubbie, who had a purse. On a show made for toddlers. Yeah.

Unfortunately, I can't see censorship allowing mainstream animated boy-love programming..

Ahah. Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward - Interspecies love triangle.

Oh, God, people need lives sooo bad. I don't think it helped that on top of TinkyWinky's head was an upside down triangle, which is a common symbol of homosexuality. I remember thinking it looked like a coat hanger when I was little, though.

@ Squidward/Spongebob- Lawl. :3
