| I don't like yaoi but I like GL dramas. Both wholesome and mature is good for me. |
| I'm a male and I personally don't like yuri like even if it's wholesome I just don't like it. But yaoi tho this might me weird but I personally enjoy watching yaoi that is not full of sex scenes.. The one example is Given, like the story is just so good that I didn't mind that it's yaoi.. So in short I like yaoi that have a good story |
| I love any kind of yaoi that isn't gross and disgusting full of bdsm and stuff. Also killing stalking is the best we need more bl with amazing stories like it. |
| not a fan of either but Given is definitely one of the better yaoi tagged anime there is. |
| I prefer my yuri to exist which is barely the case anymore. |
| I don’t like yaoi at all, but for yuri, I like cute wholesome fluff ones with a bit of drama in it. Nothing too kinky, cuz I’m not into bdsm or whatever that’s called lol |
| just lurking around |
| Whatever kind is most similar to Yuri On Ice. Drama is also welcome if the protagonists can get along. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| I am mixed. I love cute and fluffy stuff but I also enjoy depraved and sick yaoi stuff too. So Imma say both, yeah both. |
  ♡ Harder Daddy ♡ |
| i like good yaoi and yuri, i guess,, there's no specific things that i want in them |
| I like yuri, either with 100% slice of life or with some drama is fine with me. |

| Fluffy, wholesome, and cute for me too. And series with a good story. And no non-con (I'm not into that sh*t) |
 |
| I like any tbh. No real specifics, although can we have some more of Candy Boy type series. |
| i like Yuris anime like Oniisama e...,Shoujo kakumei Utena(I believe it's Yuri) and Valkyrie drive: mermaid and Yuri manga as Moonlight flowers,Her tale of shim chong and Pietà. when it comes to BL / yaoi / Bara I'm not sure ... if the synopsis interests me I read / watch. |

| Yaoi relationship should be like Sasuke and Naruto. Nothing is better than that. They even kissed in the episode 2. They probably married to women to hide their gender. |

I like some cute girl's love stories but erotic are also okay ngl lmao. If it's not fucked up, then I'll read it. |

| I want my Yuri to focus, It should be pure with only girls. And I want real romance We get a lot of CGDCT and Idol Yuri and other weaker Yuri. but extremely few romances. We haven't had a real Yuri romance since Yagate (Adachi to Shimamura doesn't count IMO) I want strong Yuri. I want real romance and I want some lesbian kissing,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEES But sadly I think there is bigger chance earth will be hit by a neutron star than Japan actually produces something that is watchable |
 |
| I prefer the more grounded ones that are very character and romance focused. Stuff similar to Aoi Hana, Sasameki Koto, or Adachi to Shimamura, as well as a few manga that will probably never be adapted. I do enjoy more fluffy cutesy stuff like Sakura Trick as stuff to winddown to as well though not as much. |
| Back when I watched/read BL, I only went for the clean, light-hearted stuff, as I refuse to watch/read anything with sex in it. As a woman, I now want to try watching/reading some light-hearted GL instead, as I never gave GL a chance in the past, but finding good GL is difficult, because so many GL titles are written by men, or are aimed at a male audience, and I'd prefer to avoid that stuff. |

Really, thats a really strange reason to look at yuri and honestly this kind of puritan mindset as i've said isn't exactly healthy. How exactly, is being repulsed by sex "unhealthy?" Like most Canadians under 40, I don't have any religious beliefs, but it's normal for some people, including adults, to be offended by certain things. |

First of all i can understand why fetishes are gross i'm not into any of them at all whatseover. And i agree with rule 6 100 percent. I just personally don't see that as any reason to skip something. Well, that's your choice, but I'm not going to watch/read something that I know I wouldn't like. You could say that I'm "missing out," but I can guarantee that there's probably something that I like, that you wouldn't want to watch/read, and I could say that you're "missing out" as well, so it sort of evens itself out in the end. |

| Fluffy and comedy kinds of yuri anime is the best I think. I don't mind yaoi either but they shall not have any drama in them. |

| I only like yuri but most yuri stuff is good , I prefer more ecchi yuri stuff because its usually lighthearted and fun , also yuri is hot |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| If I need to pick between some fluffy light hearted story or one with bdsm porn I pick the latter. Unless it's porn then I prefer it to have something else in the story and not just me following how these two characters try to relationship. I don't like romance much, it's actually my least liked genre out there. Even less interested if it's teenagers being confused over their crush. Fuck that shit. |
 |
| Anything is good if its done right. In this case if none of the character are reduced to only lgbt tropes or characteristics and instead act like real human beings. |
 |
| I don't watch BL, but I like watching GL. But if a BL anime has very good plot then I'll also give it a try. I love GL anime with other more special themes/genres. I'm not saying that GL with pure school life is bad, but I get much more engaged when it's a GL with sword fighting (e.g. Revolutionary Girl Utena) or other genres. Plus I prefer GL with male background characters or cast (e.g. Bloom into You, where Yui has a brother and there're male students in the student council; Aoi Hana, where Akira has a brother and there's a plot talking about a girl falling in love with her male teacher) rather than all girl cast and it seems that no men are on this world. The former ones are more realistic to me, and it may at some degrees show that the protagonist defying social norms and instead loving a girl. But I hate it when the male character could interference the GL relationship without getting well elaborated, like saying that "the two girls are just friends" or something else. Edit: I was wrong about Yui (silly me). She has a sister instead, but her sister has a boyfriend. |

| I like my yu- okay this is a Crow thread, not gonna respond |
 I hope no one I know irl sees my secret account~ Anyways, do I look cute in this outfit?~ |
| what kind of yaoi/yuri do i like? as long as the characters are cute/hot, it doesn't matter |
| Romantically tragic always makes a lasting impression. Erotica works too |

| Those who are not trying to fetishize or idealize same-sex relationships. Also, also those who interestingly build same-sex relationships into the plot instead of building the whole premise on gay things. And yes, they should by no means hide behind the theme of friendship, implying that same-sex romance is a specific part of a male or female friendship, and not a full-fledged romantic relationship. I am incredibly tired of works that entertain you for a certain time as an interesting story about friendship, but then suddenly turns into romance. @_Maneki-Neko_ This is not the worst thing yet. I hate more when such shit is supported by some idea and you literally see how the author is trying to promote some kind of heterophobia or negative stereotypes against people of the opposite gender. Moreover, if, for obvious reasons, BL began to gradually get rid of its sexism, then misandry is still promoted in many yuri works or fan communities. And it became so widespread that it even advanced into regular non-romance all-female works like the WEP you mentioned. |

| I'm not into either, but if I was, I'd imagine I would like anything that wasn't the usual derivative scenarios like: Person 1: "W-we can't do this, I'm not gay" Person 2: "Oh you're not gay? Well, let's just see about that AFTER I MAKE YOU CUM" Person 1: "Oh no, I'm actually gay now, you've successfully made me gay" I don't actually know if the majority of Yaoi/Yuri is like this like people claim, but I do know that a lot of them are like this, and if I was a Yaoi/Yuri fan I wouldn't fuck with these kinds of stories. I'd imagine this shit would get old REAL quick. |

I'd imagine this shit would get old REAL quick. Ahaha, don't forget about the stories where a straight stereotypically girly girl falls in love with an androgynous girl, forming a pseudo-heterosexual couple with the most silly and grotesque stereotypes about girl-boy relationships. Bonus points if this is not even meant as a full-fledged lesbian relationship, since a passive girl just plays the most stereotypical female role, and an active male one, in fact telling you that same-sex affections do not exist and this is just gender crap (that is, all women are attracted to male domination, and being openly lesbian means playing a male role herself). |

| I like the kind of yuri where one of them either coerces or forces the other. |
  |
| I like both Yaoi and Yuri and enjoy both fluffy stories or some drama kinky shit. What I don’t like is how they portray the character dynamic the cliche one submissive one dominant is getting old-how one character is usually forcing himself upon the other, this irks me every time. Other thing I’ve noticed is also how the friends of the couple are also in same sex relationships or most around them. I would like to see stories with character development, or light educational about sexuality etc with supportive parents. Also I would like more hentai and manga hentai, I have a hard time searching. |

And it became so widespread that it even advanced into regular non-romance all-female works like the WEP you mentioned. I really agree with you, but I think in some yuri, not these I mentioned, I mean the yuri that is written for a male audience, don't even mention male characters, because they are hated by the male fans and could interfere with the lesbian girls and couples. Others like Utena and Wonder Egg Priority are ... I don't know how to describe it. Feminism gone wrong. At least for some parts. Although I especially like Utena for some other reasons, but these elements of the anime really left a sour taste in my mouth. There is also an Utena copycat called Shitsurakuen and this manga took the "basically all men here are pigs and abuse the girls" to another extreme. In general I prefer just some either comfirmed or hinted queer characters and couples in the cast and that's it. Everything else becomes very cringey very fast. Unfortunately, I see this even in the yuri written by women. Especially if the authors themselves are queers. For example, I still love to remember one josei yuri manga where literal lesbian rape is contrasted as a feminist act ... to the protagonist's "toxic" straight colleague who made her feel uncomfortable with constant offers to date him. You know, when a man is too obsessive in wanting to become your boyfriend, it's terrible and toxic. But when another woman practically takes your body with cheesy lines in the style of tabloid romance, it is a respectful action between two women. MariMite is not exactly a good example as it is about romantic friendships, not "literal" lesbian romance most of the time. But you can easily see how the author loves to joke about prejudice against men, while any prejudice about women is taken as seriously and very personally for the characters. Shitsurakuen? Oh, I've heard about this manga. The funny thing is that the author realized this only at the end, when they decided to play the "everything was hypnosis" card and the fans literally persecuted him. Even without that, it still impresses me that no one found it toxic and many male readers found it interesting to read. The author is currently illustrating Kakegurui and given that the series is already a grotesque power female fantasy, I hope it doesn't get any worse. Ultimately, Utena falls under one of my stopwords that I mentioned above. When one of the female characters just starts to play a male role and her relationship with another girl is played as a heterosexual dynamic, because, you know, protecting girls is a man's business and all girls love strong handsome men. I love the Takarazuka theme, but my relationship with it is always in the love-hate area because of such implications. |

It's worse when every male character is unlikeable, an asshole or in general just antagonistic towards the lesbian characters and couple. I really like Utena for example for other reasons, but the writer seemed to loathe every male character in there so much. It was even worse with anime like Wonder Egg Priority. It also some other major flaws for me, but every single male character I can remember is an asshole, abusive, a rapist and whatnot. Then there are romance series like Araburu with a lesbian main character in the cast. I kinda liked this series and I was glad to see a lesbian character in there at first, but good god, the execution is in some parts really cringey. Especially the part, where Momoko screams and totally panics because that guy touches her hand. I loathe this cliche so much. Okay, he was an idiot, but this reaction... what the fuck? It's portrayed as "she realized what's up with here at this point, because he also tells her she acts crazy" ... yeah, sure, lesbian girls scream when a guy tries to get their hand and hate contact lol. That was one of the worst scenes I have seen from a romance and coming of age-anime that was quite realistic otherwise. No that is incorrect. In Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. I am so proud of her for saying no. Often the anime girl never protests. But not my strong girl♥♥. I don't think she is hysterical for defending herself |

It came across as "omg he touched my wrist, eww!" Then he says she is always acting so weird and you can see, she reflects his words, which means "he knows what's up with me now." I mean, I got a similar situation and you just instinctivelly know, if an idiot is a threat or not. This one is clearly not. He's just an idiot and you just tell him to fuck off. This comes across as well... as I describe above. Or I'm maybe just too old for some (coming of age / romance) anime with teenagers. ^^' |
| Tragic. In all honesty, I like when it tries to make a point about homophobia and other queer struggles, which usually ends up in angst. I have pretty edgy taste, so I'll take anything that can make me cry, thanks. Also, the farther it stays from the clichés, the better (especially BL with its rapey, homophobic power dynamics). |
