Do some males ship boys with other boys in anime?

This question just popped in my mind when me and my male friends talked about shipping and two of them shipped Karma and Nagisa from AssClass. I wasn't really shocked because Nagisa is a trap after all but my friends said that they were totally aware that Nagisa is a boy. When asked for the reason why, they simply said that they had great chemistry together and it would be a shame if they end up with boring characters like Kayano or Okuda.

I like Kayano but who couldn't resist this ship?

I don't ship any characters disregarding his gender. It ruin that aspect of the show for me, if it isn't canon I don't like it...

99.9%, if not, 100% of my ships are yaoi ships. So, yes, I am a male that ships males with other males in anime/manga.
"Yah!" -Tatsumi (Shiki)

Definitely. If two male characters have good chemistry together and subtle homoerotic nice interactions, I'll ship them as much as I want.

Yeah, sometimes. Light x L would have been neat. I never liked Misa and it would have made the second half more interesting.

Shinji x Kaworu too, but that's barely a ship.

Yeah same here. The series started out ok but then it just started slowly going down hill, and the fujioshi bait later on didn't help much.

I think I might start reading it though since the manga isn't much further than the anime.

Why? It's not like you have to fantasize about the characters having sex or whatever to think they'd make a good couple.

Only one example. Sentarou and Kaoru in Sakamichi no Apollon. I usually prefer to see what the writer does with his characters rather than ship them, but this was the one instance where I felt a yaoi relationship would have worked really well. Of course, that would mess with the love pentagon thing going on in the show.

As much as I dislike the show, the Mika x Yuu gimmick was my favorite. They shouldn't have done that. Lol, definitely extreme fujoshi bait.

What you're thinking of is good friends I hope.

When you ship two characters together, it's because you think they match each other emotionally and physically. If it's just emotionally, then you'd think they make really good friends like Ryner and Sion. If you're thinking physically, that includes hugs, holding hands, and kissing. If you want that to happen to two guys as a guy, you have to admit deep down you're either bi or gay.

Not really, there are differences between a romantic and platonic relationship beyond sexual activity.

That's ridiculous. Of course a romantic relationship involves physical intimacy, but so what? Again, I never said I wanted to see graphic sexual content of them for my own pleasure, just that, from an entertainment perspective, their relationship would be nice. Any relationship, gay or straight, can be an enjoyable part of a story, without having sex appeal to the viewer.

Would you say that any piece of media with a gay couple can only appeal to other gay people? Because that's what it seems like you're saying.

totally agreed no point in shipping if the ship will never set sail anyways so you might as well ignore the ships made by everyone because we all know them kids ain't getting together.

I rarely ship anime characters. Much less if both are of the same gender.

Cause when I think of a beta male having romantic relationship with another beta male , it feels either weird or funny. Though I see no problem with boys having fun with boys or girls messing with girls temporarily. It's funny as long as it isn't permanent.

The romantic aspect of that gay couple would probably only appeal to gay people. Everything else about them, can appeal to anyone.

"from an entertainment perspective, their relationship would be nice. Any relationship, gay or straight, can be an enjoyable part of a story, without having sex appeal to the viewer"

No one shipped characters in Clannad to see them do the deed or even to kiss. They don't have to have sex appeal to the viewer. I just can't understand the perspective of "their relationship would be nice," when as friends they can still have a deep relationship.

Like really deep. Ryner and Sion.

You include implied sexual activity, it turns into something romantic and then your own personal preferences kick in and takes it from there. It also changes the relationship into something more physical usually. If it doesn't I'd hardly call it a relationship.

If 2 people decide, while I'm seeing you I won't be seeing anyone else, I DO consider that a relationship.

Don't see why I'd want that though. It sounds like you just want to be really good friends with someone and don't want them to never not be a part of your life.... like a friend.

By not wanting Madoka to end up with her friends ruining their sense of tightknit friendship. If you say something like, "she wanted to restart the universe for her!" Remember this is Japan, and crazier shit has been done for the sake of "nakama."

Why do people want to view close relations with the same gender with romance so easily? Does friendship not matter to you? Have you seen Love Lab?

It's called "yaoi/yuri goggles". Have you ever experienced watching the world in an unusual way, for example looking for one specific thing?
It's the same thing - you're looking for yaoi/yuri and you find them.
