Liking Yuri as a guy and liking yaoi as a girl is dumb when you think about it

You can enjoy a good romance story without being sexually attracted to the characters, not everything is self insert fantasy

You were supposed to self insert into one of the girls obviously.

You're so fucking stupid holy shit

Not everything is about having sex, there's other stuff too

Also 1849 posts and one anime on the actual animelist, amazing. I get that this is probably just the account you post your weird random stupid dumb questions on but why do you have any anime at all in that case? And why Ooòku?

Do I have to fuck everything I like?(7)

Also, I find yuri and yaoi tend to have a different dynamic than regular straight romances.

It's dumb to think that yuri for a male and yaoi for a female is the same thing. For male a lesbian contact in a porn for example is always something like a prelude, like a show off, like a game. It's pretty easy for a male to accept a bisexual nature of female with a bigger accent on a hetero by default since the main interest is physical, I mean, one nice girl is in a 'contact' with another nice girl, what is here not to like to? Yaoi on another hand is a straightforward gayness and females obviously love more psyche-emotional part of such relation than physical since yaoi males are mostly about one passionate manly man and one submissive famine man when yuri girls are just typical anime girls with interest in each other and that's it.

my favourite character would probably stab me to death (regardless of sexual orientation) if he ever entered reality... the trick is not to think about it 😂

I can accept this statement for the 80% or so of yaoi and yuri that is basically just sexualized content... but as for the genuine yaoi/yuri manga (I can't think of any honest anime tbh) that center around vivid characters and a solid plot... a good story is a good story. My own sexual orientation and gender has nothing to do with it.

Because not everyone watches anime with a burning passion to bang every character on screen.

Why would that matter? They're not going to enter reality. It's hot. A lot of the anime I watch I wouldn't want to enter the universe of. There's a difference between fiction and reality. Limiting yourself to only enjoying stuff that you can self insert in is boring.

Also, actually being a girl in a yuri relationship sounds like it would pretty good as well. It's more attractive to me for two girls to love each other than a girl and a guy.

Tell me, dear vasipi4946, have you ever liked a girl?
Well, lemme tell ya, that's pointless since she'll never like you back and therefore you'll never be able to bang her.
Read light novels!

Simple logic.
Boobs are a gift from God, so 4 is better than 2.

With that said, gross Yaoi should've never existed or at the very least should only such to porn exclusively...

I prefer seeing two guys banging.

In all seriousness, I think my interest started because of the way the relationships are structured in the stories. As an avid shoujo reader I found myself that most of the stories would shy away from certain topics or problems that relationships could face. Most of the times the Male Lead is portrayed as someone perfect while the girl chases him. Also they tend to take place in a school setting. When I started reading yaoi it just opened up a whole lot more of interesting stories, I liked that they show the relationship development after the characters got together.

By the way, every high testosterone man should watch Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo: Anata to Koibito Tsunagi. It's a top tier yuri that will melt your heart.

They won't ever enter reality. It's fictional anyway might as well enjoy it to its fullest.

@HulkTySSJ2 If you think about it, two penises together are manlier than one.

Works for me 👍 (but needs to have actual plot, otherwise I go to p*rnhub).


Also cute girls fondling cute things is also cute. Cute

Because it isn't a reality so it is ok to have those kinds of fantasies. Besides, why is it apparently wrong for a straight person to take a liking to a homosexual relationship? As a straight male I enjoy yuri anime quite a fair bit and we all know about fujoshi's and they apparently see no qualm in liking yaoi. It doesn't come from a place of envy or anything like that, but just accute fascination. As already stated by other users; do I have to fuck everything that I like?
@OmegaOtaku Fujoshis is worse. Tbh. The shipper and that taking it into irl. There's even made flag for that type fujoshis.

@Destinesia what yaoi are you reading? As far as I know. They mostly heteronormative. Meaning there's top bottom with the top is manly, handsome, tall perfect and as the bottom is short, cute, weak and like a girl. Even shipping gay ship is like that.

For Yuri. There's that weird and that cute. And the shipping mostly cute. There's girlboss. But not feel like heteronormative.

@Mishiia, not always the guys in BL are the ones that you described. I prefer two masculine and handsome as both top and bottom. You can check these works in my Completed Manga List if you want.

I don't watch ANY romances no matter which sex the characters are just to bang them. Can't bank a fictional character either way. I don't watch a straight romance just cause I want to bang the main guy or the main girl, I am perfectly content with those two characters being together, that's why I'm watching, cause they probably have good chemistry or it got a good plot or its dumb but entertaining. Its pretty dumb assuming people are watching a romance because they wanna bang one of the characters. Generally you just want those two characters to get together or have a good romance if they already are together. That's why shipping wars is a thing, people ship two characters and then get annoyed when other people are taking one of the people from their ship and puts them with some other characters, its not about you wanting to bang the character, its about you wanting that character to bang another character... I mean have a cute romance. *cough*

The same can be said about all fictional romance characters and 99% of weebs.

@Destinesia yeah.
Fictional yaoi and Yuri and normal thrope is okay. Not shouting around in internet (usually they fight over ship fanart in internet) and don't take it to irl.

@Memore oh, you are Fudanshi. Most fujoshi liking what I describe with the handsome tall, looks as Dom as top and flowery, pretty, shy, short as bottom.

In past time. When I check about yaoi and yuri in social media or website etc. Yaoi is more popular and more as women wild fantasy(that's why yaoi author mostly women). I read that Yuri writer mostly women. There's that weird yuri. But mostly cute.

Idk about BL and GL now.

And sure.

@Memore Tried watch yaoi but it's kind of weird. Debating to watch Yuri but some people comments that one tittle is weird yuri. So not try yet.

I watch BL and GL (more about romance).

I love yuri so much, especially when it's between two blood related sisters like Leina Vance and Elina Vance.

I love BL because its cute and heartwarming, and I just like seeing the chemistry with the characters and in term of yaoi I do find it hot to see two attractive guys get naughty together. I don't need to see myself as an insert to enjoy something

Nah when you actually think about it and separate fiction from reality, people just like seeing 2 characters of their sexual preference making out. Its just that simple.

Well, they are drawings. And if you are a straight man, you probably still watch stuff with men in it as well, right? You don't watch for "banging".

I have something more mindblowing for all of you: I like straight romances although I'm not. It's really possible to root for and have empathy for people and their relationship, who aren't exactly like you.

Looking at only the sex appeal of the genre:

I don't really self insert into what I jack off to, or anything that I watch for that matter anyway.

So I never think "god I wish that was me"

I just kinda go "damn that's hot"
@APolygons2, yes, especially if there are two sexy guys kissing.
