Yaoi was made for horny fujoshis so they can enjoy their sexual fantasies and milk their rotten appetite. It's a shitty genre made for shitty demographic. People in the west take the easy SJW bandwagon and call anyone who disagrees with them a literal sexual nazi supremacist which makes you automatically the shittiest person alive for disliking their favorite genre and of course the other role playing virtue signaling crowd follows behind. |

My gay friends also think yaoi is disgusting. Not because it depicts homosexuality but because: 1) it fetishises gay men 2) it usually depicts fucked up, unhealthy scenarios like rape etc. 3) it is targeted to cringe girls like you and not actual gay men which is damaging because there are lots of cases of gay men wanting better representation and “fujoshees” or whatever tend to react very rudely and extreme I can literally cite you so much evidence for this if you want 4) it gives bad representation of homosexual r/s thus facilitating unhealthy r/s amongst gay teens |

libertarianmind said: There's a lot of topics about yaoi/yuri and I notice people keep on making judgements about people based on tastes. I think most reasonable people understand that people can be bias and it's not a big deal. Some stupid people think it's hypocritical to like one but not the other. Clearly they aren't getting that it's a matter of taste. Therefore, you can't be a hypocrite. I think one problem is in the word "disgusting". For most of us, it's a totally fine thing to describe something as since it's subjective. However, I think when you say "Yuri is beautiful, yaoi is disgusting" Some people hear that and think you're making some type of moral statement about homosexuals, when you really aren't. Or they assume that if you're uncomfortable seeing it, you must be homophobic. Personally, I'll watch Yuri on Ice when they remake it to be about yuri on ice. Y'all can keep your Yaoi on Ice. I don't like it when people start to examine your visceral reactions to things and try and judge your beliefs off of them. I don't like the idea and concept of being gay/lesbian. Do want make me homophobic, as I don't hate he people I hate the action and idea. But then again there are always people who don't know the definition of homophobic, and an even worst word people don't understand in this day and age is racist.

I like both Yaoi and Yuri, I prefer Yaoi more, but I like Yuri also. If you don't like Yaoi/Yuri then that's fine, I don't care... But what really annoys me is when people (predominantly straight men) call Yaoi gross, then I look at their anime lists, and it's packed with Yuri, like that is hypocritical, because you were just bitching about same sex relationships even though you watch anime that involves a same sex couple?! The fuck? Sadly the same thing can be said for stuff in Movies, TV shows, Cartoons, Porno, and Real Life, two men making out is disgusting, but all of a sudden when you see two women pressing their boobs against each other, It's suddenly hot? People call it "Preference" I call it Hypocrisy. Yaoi and Yuri are literally the fucking same, the ONLY difference is that one genre involves two girls, and one genre involves two men. That's the thing that annoys me. |

It's not being sensitive to tastes, it's being sensitive to homophobic speech disguised as tastes. You can have little to zero interest or even dislike yaoi/yuri as a genre, but if you go out of your way to state how disgusted or grossed out you are, then don't act surprised when you are called out on your shit. |

I don't really care much for or watch Yaoi but I like and watch Yuri. If you like either, cool. If you don't, cool. Watch and/or masturbate to whatever you like. Getting toxic and upset at the types of Chinese cartoons people like seems like wasted effort. Debate is fine, fighting is another. |

The issue here is language. "Yaoi is disgusting" vs "I'm not into Yaoi". When you bring sexuality into any conversation words like hate or disgusting are, of course, going to cause a fight. |

Fucking thank you. I kid you not, I've been called homophobic for preferring yuri over yaoi but tHE DAMN REASON I LIKE YURI MORE IS CAUSE IM A FRIGGIN LESBIAN. People are really really quick to jump to conclusions. The only thing I dislike is when people like one more than the other because in real life it's like "gay shit is gross unless it's the kinda gay shit I can get off to." The pisses me off a little. But that's usually not how it is. People tend to like either what's relatable or what appeals to them. If you're a gay chick or a straight guy, chances are you think girls are cuter than guys and would rather watch a fluffy romance about girls than guys. That's just how that works. Same goes for straight girls and gay dudes. There's a reason there are so many fujoshi out there. Also Yoai on Ice just... uuugh. The number of times I've googled yuri in hopes of some wholesome lesbian goodness and got the complete opposite just-- |

I like yuri but find yaoi to be totally disgusting but then I think a lot of straight guys feel the same way. |

Well in my perspective, as a straight male, I don’t have any problems with homosexuality, whether is guy on guy or girl on girl I don’t have a problem with it. What I have a problem with is the way it’s depicted in anime or any medium in general, where there is forced romance with no natural development (most romances in general have this problem) and some absolute ludicrous things like Citrus has Incest and Sexual assault, and Super lovers has Pedophilia (both absolutely disgusting). Homosexuality is not a problem if it’s done right or not the main focus (but Rin Daughters of Mnemosyne and Mo Dao Zu Shi are an exception). That’s my opinion on the matter, nothing wrong with it, just the way it’s depicted I have a problem with. |

? I don't mind Yuri. I even read it. BCZ sci-fi is supposed to be full of faggty shit right? It's a genre that often explores a lot of themes and make dozen of social commentaries. As I said, stick to ecchi or something like that, it's more like up your alley and it doesn't violate your safe space. |

So Yh why is Yuri liked more than Yaoi? Well I think this is probably because of 2 factors and these are: - Yuri just seem to have better writers somehow. I mean Shows like Sailor Moon, Uthena, Miss Kobayashi and the like have Yuri and got praised by the majority while Yuri on Ice is the only one with a gay couple that got a majority praise. In fact almost all of the Yaoi Got described as Fanfiction writing from what I have heard. - Most of us fans are Guys, and Guys tend to get turned on from seeing a girl in heat. |

I don't really care about pointless opinions from other people. It's simply a thing of what some likes or not. This goes through all genres. It's like your favorite color. Person A claims black while person B says red. What's good in your eyes can be like trash for someone else and the opposide. Society reacts prudish towads each kind of sexuallity aside the hetero one. still. So it's not unusual that they do overreact about Yuri and Yaoi as disgusting. It's homo love and not even real people. |

I support it, for whatever that's worth. I think that yaoi/yuri specifically tends to functionally be closer to smut and I definitely don't want to be that guy who goes about trying to deprive people of such things through some outrage, even though I'm not really a fan of this sort of thing like, at all. I've gone as far as toss what I can behind it in support of it to the best of my ability when I thought the need rose up, and I'm definitely willing to do so again. If it isn't closer to smut and it turns out I'm wrong in that perception, I'm not going to turn heel and go against it, but I'd probably feel more comfortable leaving other people to put their weight behind that one and just support them passively. "Gay people should be able to be gay" is something I'll always offer said passive support towards, but I also think it's beyond my sphere of ability (and personal interest, to an extent) and I'd rather let them speak for themselves and back the fundamental thing they desire to seek out and establish, being better integration and acceptance. They are more capable of accomplishing that and understanding what exactly they want than I am, and that's fine. |

I am a jackass because I am allowed to be a jackass on the internet. This is a place to spread ideas, not to be polite. Unless the moderators want to ban me from posting, which, fair enough. But I haven't advocated violence or anything that'd be "too far" for what could be considered free speech, in my estimation. Yeah, I don't think celibacy is a negative thing. So perhaps suppression could be something to think about. I like the idea of "don't ask, don't tell" that the US army used to advocate until a few years back, when all of a sudden a distaste for LGBT became a crime. It is true, that as long as it is in private, then it doesn't concern me. When it is public, however? It does concern me. And it is in public, a lot. Suppression of speech =/= suppression of sexuality in the public sphere. But sure, call me a hypocrite, it doesn't phase me in the least. jal90 said: HeroicIdealism said: jal90 said: HeroicIdealism said: Tsunshine-Chris said: The issue here is language.

I deal with it. LGBT folks can deal with it too. |

A lot of people up here dislike yaoi because of its depiction of irl homosexual relationships and I agree. But not every yaoi is Boku no Pico or Dakaretai. A lot of yaoi animes are shit but that's why we need better, healthier stories in both the manga & anime something like Dokyuusei *cough*. If you hate yaoi for its incorrect portrayal of homosexual relationship, I can understand. But if you hate yaoi/yuri without any particular reason other than it depicts male/male relationship, I would've termed it homophobic--male or female both. |

Well, by the definition of homophobic by modern standards, my posts were homophobic :P As a straight guy, I don't dislike unrealistic heterosexual romance anime - in fact, I like them, because dating is often completely unromantic. In general, romance is an unrealistic thing. Though maybe I'm just bitter and want escapism, ahahaha... So, I don't understand why "unrealistic yaoi" is bad for gays. Anyways, to everyone who is offended by my posts: I don't care if people like yaoi/yuri. But this thread came up in general anime discussion, so I felt I could pitch in my two cents; it was on the front page. If you guys want me or people like me to not post about LGBT, then go post on an LGBT forum. |

I do work in a religious institution and am pretty intimately familiar with the bible and Christian spirituality.

One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. -------------------------- John.8:7 said: And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” -------------------------- Matthew.7:12 said: So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. -------------------------- Titus.3:2 said: To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. -------------------------- I understand that you've got religious issues with it, and, well, it's hard to call me intolerant of religion, I believe. But make no mistake, this is not the way the teachings of the lord would have you condemn these things. Here, and the way I've seen you go about it in other threads. None of this is truly righteous. Stick beside his teachings. It is his place to judge, not our own, and we must strive to love even those who he himself would condemn. We must be above this eye for an eye mentality you (somewhat) display. We have been legitimately persecuted many, many times before, in ways much worse than anything that this situation you describe amounts to, both by our own and by non-christians alike, and yet our faith has managed to stay strong throughout the fire and the flames. There is no need to be so fearful. |

Manaban said: HeroicIdealism said: To be honest, I think this is a fair point. I am sympathetic to people who want to be accepting of everyone. But "tolerance of the intolerant" as I call it leaves you being an alien in your own culture. And I already am an "alien" at this point. My beliefs, in many circles, get me called an irrational bigot. When my belief was the standard until a decade ago. I do work at a religious institution and was trained in spiritual counseling as part of my apprenticeship, for whatever that's worth. I do work in a religious institution and am pretty intimately familiar with the bible and Christian spirituality, including elements beyond my required scope of Roman Catholocism. Romans.14:1-4 said: As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.

But make no mistake, this is not the way the teachings of the lord would have you condemn these things. Here, and the way I've seen you go about it in other threads. Stick beside his teachings. It is his place to judge, not our own, and we must strive to love even those who he himself would condemn. We must be above this eye for an eye mentality you (somewhat) display. We have been legitimately persecuted many, many times before, in ways much worse than anything that this situation you describe amounts to, both by our own and by non-christians alike and yet our faith has managed to stay strong throughout the fire and the flames alike. I respect your ways, but as I stated, I am not in opposition to homosexuality out of religious faith. I brought up my belief in God as an example of how there are many, many atheists who would mock me and belittle me on the internet for it, not because I am an explicit Christian. I really don't have a specific faith, although I appreciate Christian ideals. Yes, Christ would not speak as aggressively as I do, and although I do not believe Christ's way is wrong, I think that sometimes one has to fight for their beliefs... and, admittedly, my belief in God is not strong enough to believe that fighting passively and lovingly will definitely be redeemed in an afterlife. My belief in God doesn't necessarily even include an afterlife. Then again, it was also the Christian God who flooded the earth for all of its wickedness. I do not want earth to yet again turn into such a tolerant, immoral state. |

Yeah, I get it, you are a progressive who sees progress as being good, and a desire for past traditions as being foolish. I never said that the Crusades itself was foolish, I'm not going to bother to get into that. I don't think all war is foolish, I'll correct myself for coming off as implying that. But to desire war when it is not needed is a foolish position, unless you enjoy suffering. In which case, it comes down to mob mentality: do most people desire suffering? If that is so, then their viewpoint is not going to be seen as the foolish one. That's how this works when you come down to "subjective" reasoning. |

HeroicIdealism said: Well at least you realize you're being homophobic. Want a cookie for that?Well, by the definition of homophobic by modern standards, my posts were homophobic :P HeroicIdealism said: You said you read 'unrealistic heterosexual animes' as escapism, right? But to what extent of unrealistic are you talking about?So, I don't understand why "unrealistic yaoi" is bad for gays. The unrealistic yaoi I'm referring to is something like non-con advances that lead to a relationship *side-eyeing the likes of early Hidoku Shinaide plot, Okane ga Nai, etc*. It happens often in yaoi and even as a fujoshi, I disagree with it. Even if someone's kink is to be dominated or humiliated, BDSM exist and BDSM requires consent and safeword. But the thing is... something like this is a really grey issue. Even with hetero hentai we still have tropes like gang rape or forced fvck or other shit. So yeah... it's not exclusively a yaoi's problem but people hate yaoi because the majority of its depiction is like that. If someone were to ask me where good yaois are, most of it is still in a manga form. But if you're curious as to what other good/healthy yaoi animes that are already out there, this dude here did a great job recommending them as well as discussing the problems of yaoi/BL genre in the eyes of a gay man. Lastly, you're free to comment on anything you want. It's not my job to ban you or to told you to be quiet. Just remember that behind those profile picture are real humans who might or might not have been hurt by the things you typed indifferently. Or you might as well know that already and don't care *shrugs* Edit: idk why the YT video didn't show up but this is the URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD0hL_ujXqk&t=776s |

Or you might as well know that already and don't care *shrugs* It's not that I don't care - it's the opposite, actually. I want to get people to react, and maybe that'll lead them to think. And maybe that'll get them to change their minds, somehow. It's unlikely, but I don't think a passive "Personally, I don't like yaoi, but it's okay if you do!" will ever, ever get anyone to think about why perhaps homosexual advocacy is not desirable. I am against promiscuity and kinks in general, and that very often includes homosexuality. When it comes to gay love, as in, pure, genuine same-sex love... I don't understand why they can't just be BFFs and instead have to kiss and buttfuck. This is why I am in opposition to even non-yaoi gay series. But I am not advocating to censor it. I just don't think I'll ever like it. |

HeroicIdealism said: If that's all you think conservatism is, then so be it. I'm merely using your implications of decade past norms being old, which is in reality just a shrinking but still a seemingly big but quiet stance as people don't change so fast. As for the thin air bit, that could go back even further than the 800 year old crusades, but if you want to stay more modern it's going to be 800 year old foolish ideas eventually.Lunilah said: HeroicIdealism said: Lunilah said: HeroicIdealism said: Neither of us know that, we didn't live back then.
