Were you ever against yaoi?

Like the first post says, I didn't so much hate it as I was very afraid of it.
I remember google is where I first saw yaoi, with my friend. We were looking for images of some anime, I think YYH, and saw our fair share of graphic situations. After that it was like opening a floodgate. You can't go far on the internet without unintentionally finding yaoi somewhere.
I was a little catholic girl and I thought it was all porn, so I was scared of it. I was afraid that my dad would see me accidentally coming across it and ground me. I was afraid that my friends would find it on my search history and think I was a pervert.
I feel the need to point out that I never thought homosexuality was scary or grose, though. Yaoi to me was just something on the same level as watching an R rated movie or saying the f-word in front of your parents. Something I'd get in a lot of trouble for looking at.

Wow, that's exactly what it was like for me. It didn't help any that my dad had always said that he was going to check out what we've searched for the day to make sure we weren't looking at anything bad. (But now that I think about it, I laugh at that because I was only in third grade.)

Lol I was in the sixth grade when it became an issue. That was the year I really started exploring the internet for fanfiction and things when I had previously only been going on the computer to play PC games. Dad was constantly over my shoulder. sweatdrop

That had to be tough. Hopefully you never accidently ran across anything hardcore that he found out about.

Actually no, when i first heard about yaoi...I was instantly hooked...XD  

[Dental Damnation]

well i was raised in a usual Christian/conservative area so homosexuality was always looked upon as this horrible disgusting thing stare but then me and my wonderful mommy went to see RENT and my views were completely changed. however i still didn't like yaoi for some reason. that all changed when i saw a Loveless AMV. at first i was like "are those two guys? WHOA!!! DID THEY JUST KISS??!?!" but after watching it five times in a row and looking up every bit of Loveless information, i finally warmed up to it 3nodding i've loved BL ever since! mrgreen

Actually, I don't think it was something I ever really thought twice about. It didn't really bother me, let other people live their lives, you know? Why should I care? And then, for one of my Rps with my best friend, I remember thinking that things were getting a little slow. So I decided, hey! How about he loves his best friend! It seemed like a good plot twist. 3nodding But even then, I wasn't so entirely sucked into it...

...it didn't take long for that to happen ninja Now, a BL couple is pretty much staple in every RP we create. Actually...basically ALL our RPs are simply BL. Oh well. heart

I don't remember ever disliking Yaoi... But I know I got really into it when a good friend of mine showed me a Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfic on FanFiction.net... Ever since then, I've been hooked. ^_^

ya... i was creeped out and kinda against the whole thing in the beginning....i mean, it was just....weird for me. eek but...i kept seeing it, and eventually found out i was subconsciously becoming a fan of shonenai. (if u can that is! xd ) and then, i moved onto yaoi. nice.  

[hsfgbnsfgh]

when i first saw a yaoi pic i was a bit shocked...but i liked it...  

[black_bloody_princess]

Honestly... I was against Yaoi years before, but then, when I noticed that Naruto and Sasuke are so cool together, I started to love it... I was 11 then when I started to love it... heart  

[Dragonwinged]

it kinda freaked me out in the beginning, but now I just can't resist the power of (pretty)guy- loves-(beautiful)guy-love!!! whee

I lived a very sheltered life as a child. Meaning, I didn't ever get to touch a computer without supervision until 6th grade, and even then I had teachers looking over my shoulder. I didn't even know gay people existed. Then, finally, I bought my own computer in 7th grade and was introduced to the wonderful world of yaoi. I have been immersed ever since. blaugh

Well, like many others I didn't really know much if anything about yaoi. My first encounter was when I was around 11. My aunt (elder by three years) showed me a binder of hers that had some shounen-ai pics nothing more than fluffy kiss pictures of Yamato("Matt") and his brother T.K. I was mostly indifferent about it although a bit confused to say the least, I think I was more confused about the part of it being his brother he was kissing and not the fact it was another boy, But when I was 12 she showed me Gravitation and thats what got me hooked on the yaoi idea. Gravitation is what got a lot of people into the idea of yaoi it seems sweatdrop

Took me a bit to get hooked on fanfics and stuff though because I was always afraid of my parents looking over my shoulder to see what I was reading about and you knwo freaking or something. Now that I have my own computer I still listen for footsteps near my door but I read it all the time now. biggrin
