@guys who ask how and why girls like gay shit...

Don't be hypocritical....it's the same way us guys love lesbian shit.

IIRC...lesbian porn is sometimes more popular than regular heterosexual porn.

And I mean, c'mon...one hot bitch is sexy...two sexy bitches licking each other is even better.

So, let fujoshis shlick to their gay porn and we'll fap to our lesbian porn as well.

Everyone is happy.

Why people care? I honestly whener I see annoyed people tell me "omg but they're just friends you cant ship them" it makes me want to ship them more godammit Let me have my fun I dont say anything whenever you guys have a boner watching your Harem waifus shows.

They only thing I don't get is fujoshi and their homo obsession. I mean how does shipping two guys together satisfy them ? They got absolutely nothing to relate to in that setting.


>implying you have to relate to a ship to ship them lol

Too bad Im not a japanese lesbian girl in an idol group and totally tsun tsun too ship NicoMaki awww :(

Also guys dont ship anything in shoujo since you guys arent japanese and you cant relate to that.

I get turned on by boy x boy relationships in Anime and I often ship the boys in some Anime. For example,

Rin x Haru
Rin x Sousuke
Akihito x Hiroomi
Akise x Yukiteru
Levi x Eren
Ciel x Sebastian
Hak x Jae-Ha.... etc.

and read fanfics and djs bout them. They're interesting and fun, I guess. I don't really know actually, I just enjoy them.

Sugou x Asuna was best fucking ship, they had so much chemistry with each other. Fuck Kirito for NTRing Asuna away from her lover right when they were about to go all the way with their relationship. Fucker literally has his sister, a loli, and that one girl head over heels with him, does he really need more people begging for his sword?

This is why Sword Art Online is a shit anime. The only good arc was ruined by the main character, Kirito.

It kind of annoys me. I don't do it unless the chemistry is undeniable.

For example, Ichigo and Rukia. You can literally switch Rukia into a male and their relationship would not change. They have a completely platonic bond.

MikaYuu? Even though I'm a boy x boy fan, I don't approve. MIKA IS LIKE SO FREAKING ANNOYING especially the time when
in the first season, forgot which episode. Anyway I dropped the second season because I couldn't stand this vampires vs humans thing. Yes I agree, Shinoa is so cute!!!

Nothing!

Guys aren't much better seeing every single two girl friendship as blatant lesbianism.

They're just perverted, I don't know how else to look at it.


Perhaps there aren't any good male characters to pair them up with? That's definitely the situation with K-On, in that there were really *no* males to pair characters up with, other than Ritsu's brother Satoshi, but I've only seen one fan fic with him as a partner, and that was with Ui Hirasawa. I could just as readily see Mio and Ritsu as being maid of honor at each other's weddings, but most of the fanfic has Mio married while Ritsu is either anguished that she never confessed her love, or is dead. Yui's clinginess to Azusa could be just as much an effect of her autism (and yes, I see her as a high-functioning austistic) as a sign of romantic attraction. Azusa has been married in a couple fanfics, and they usually end up to be abusive relationships.

That said, the yuri fanfic for K-On seems to be written by women anyway, and there are plenty of well-written ones.

And in "Railgun", the F/F relationships seem to make more sense even if they're not cannon. I'd see Kuroko providing more of the companionship Misaka wants. Saten & Uiharu act more like an old married couple anyway; not blatantly passionate, but rather comfortable in each other's company.

Unless they start acting like their ships are cannon, it doesn't bother me that much. Some of the ships and fanart for them are cute. I don't really get how some people are able to see romance in every close friendship they see but w/e
I'm sure there are even a few people who do that and have fallen for their best friend and ship those kind of relationships because they relate to them. They also might just be horny, horniness is the answer for a lot of things in fandoms.

Oh, nice to see my first ship here!

As a shipper of bros for 8 years I can say it's because they have a deep and usually complicated relationship. And some of those things are inserted in anime on purpose for shippers, because they earn money and popularity with the female audience, thanks to some fanservices.

Haha! It's funny how it bothers you, as if someone is shipping you with your buddy or with your brother lol. They're fictional characters, I think they don't really care, ya know (I mean, Kise wouldn't mind as long as it's Kurokocchi)...

The simple answer: It's amusing.

Some fans are in so deep that they will turn anything into a same sex coupling. I remember being like that once, I abhor it now.

Close friendships that are clearly platonic in a nonromantic way being often perceived as "GHAYYY" drives me crazy. Okay, so there is potential for it, perhaps, if two people are close friends, but does that mean that it has to be applied to everyone who comes along and has close friendships? NOOOO!! It's not just what drives me crazy about the fangirls of anime like Free! or Haikyuu!!, but also what fans of anime that have a predominantly female cast will do.

If there are no romantic implications in the show, why even make it so much about romance? or, in most cases, why make it about gay sex?? It's not about romance, it's certainly not about gay sex.... it's more often about strengthening the bond between clubmates, teammates, friends, a fluffy puff piece.... I'm a bisexual person, it drives me skittering up a wall to think that fangirls/fanboys are driven to automatically gayship every two females or males that come along and even say "hi" to one another!! By no means are most gay, bi, or lesbian people like that at all!!

Not to mention, why does nobody ever think about characterizing any of these allegedly "gay" characters as bisexual either? What, is it wrong to think of seeing things from a different perspective? Does everyone always have to be gay? Or even, does everyone always have to be straight? Who even cares about a character's sexuality so much in the first place, it's literally one of the most boring things to define a person by... sure, sexuality is a part of life, but why not also focus on personality?

To be honest, most of my ships end up being 'character with other character who seems to understand them the most', and that often ends up being two guys who are best friends (or at least close/on their way to being close). I don't expect them to get together, but all it is to me is that I enjoy the thought of the two together and sharing experiences; I like their vibe and it brings me joy.

This is actually the case for me in real life too; I love watching two best friends (regardless of gender) interact all chummy-like; it's one of the sweetest things ever to watch. Some of my friends who act in this manner together tell me that people very often mistake them to be a couple, which brings us back to why people might ship two friends together.

Media, for some reason, doesn't seem to portray two girls as best friends too often, so sadly my ships usually don't consist of two females (although I'd like them to-- my own creations are full of all types of ships). Or if media does feature two female best friends, the relationship between them is often really flat/just kinda created to seem cute or fanservicey (?) as if the creator isn't sure how girls interact with each other. Yet in a lot of anime, you see a HUGE focus on male to male bonding, friendship, relations in general, and so on. Like, you usually have to check out an actual shoujo-ai or something with GL undertones to get anything close to that for females.

Just as an example, male to male rivalries are often just "I'll beat you one day, my friend," or like, "I'll defeat you but wow I respect you so much," so again, it's establishing a bond beyond something which can't be moved. Female to female rivalries are often just "I hate her and I have to beat her or else she'll be in my way". An example of this would be Sakura and Ino from Naruto. With these two, unlike the usual male rivalry of fighting someone you respect or are friends with, their rivalry was based on actually hating each other at the time despite being friends before.
