| I like some shounen-ai/shoujo-ai. Not a Yaoi/Yuri fan tbh. It's like watching porn, and it just doesn't appeal to me. I don't really see why people fangirl/boy over them though. They're just like regular romance animes to me. |

| Both <3 i am big fan of yaoi mangas and syuri anime ^^ |
| I like Yuri but have never really watched Yaoi. Not that I don't like it I've just never seen one. If someone recommends me a good Yaoi though I will give it a go. |
| I'm not a hardcore fan, but if I had the choice between the two of them I'd rather watch yaoi. |

running_lemon said: I'm impartial to both. I would not watch an anime just because it has yaoi/yuri. Also, I probably would not watch anything that has a "heavy" yaoi/yuri content just because it doesn't really appeal to me. This pretty much sums it up for me. I'm certainly not opposed to relationships or sexuality of any nature being portrayed in my anime or fiction in general, but as a male that identifies as hetero (while being more sexually open than I am when it comes to actual relationships -- i.e. I would only date a woman, but I have "experimented" sexually in my youth) I'm not particularly interested in pursuing yaoi or yuri as genres. I'm not one to go looking for romantic dramas or hentai in general, though if it happens that I come upon a good love story (Kemonozume, for example) I don't care who's involved. I mean, there's a relationship in Please Save My Earth that is intriguing and a bit arousing because Absolutely nothing against people who enjoy it, though obnoxious fans are as bad as obnoxious fans of anything. I also don't really understand the preference of one over the other, but whatever. Oh and yeah, I guess some would say there's a difference between yaoi/yuri and shonen/shoujo ai that I'm glossing over, but I'm not particularly concerned with anime genre fascism. Some is more sexual, some is more romantic, whatever... Everything I said above applies to either. If anyone whose tastes I respect recommended something specific, I'd certainly give it a look. |
| I like both of them. If it does have a good story and good characters, why not? ;) Romance doesn't mean all in an anime... And if it does, what's the matter of it being homossexual? :x I don't like neither dislike... I feel it's the same from 'normal' animes ^-^ |
 |
| Well to be honest I prefer yuri over yaoi, but I'm not adverse to yaoi either, really. I mean it's alright just not my thing. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only girl who likes yuri better tho >_> XDD but really when it comes down to it, if a relationship in an anime turns yaoi or yuri, it's the love between them that matters, not their gender. |
| both, but i prefer yaoi. |
 |
| As long as there's sufficient character and emotional development, I'd watch/read both yaoi and yuri. |
| Eh, have no moral objections. I am fond of the genre (well, one kind, since I only swing one way), so I might be a hypocrite if I were to object. Nevertheless, so long as someone doesn't go overboard like tries to marry an anime persona, then it's all good. But, few people go like that, and otherwise I don't care. Or, some really push the limit, IE shotacon and lolicon, but that might be different too. Also, since there is some debate over what yaoi/yuri means (as someone pointed out, it doesn't have concurrent definitions in Japan and America), I presume you mean the American one. If you mean the Japanese one though, it would be just silly to object. It's just gay romance, nothing bothersome at all. |
 |
| Yuri D= OK sometimes. But i prefer none to very little. |
     |
| YAOI. I'm... obsessed. :/ |
| Not my cup of tea. I stay away from both. |
 |
| I absolutely love yaoi of all types; hardcore, softcore, I'll read/watch anything. =P As for yuri, I certainly don't mind it but prefer the softer side instead of hentai. |
kei-clone said: might wanna make a poll outta this :) um, yea I'm a straight guy, so obviously I stay away from yaoi. I'm not even that crazy about yuri, although I don't mind it as much I guess but yuri would more like me keep me away from an anime rather than draw me towards it (probably is what's keeping me away from Simoun and Kannazuki no Miko). I have nothing against gay ppl but watching it isn't something that appeals to me is all. Ditto. |
 |
| I love yaoi, but I prefer slash because usually yaoi anime is like shoujo but with two guys :/ idk why they choose to animate the crappiest BL manga... |

| I don't watch either one but It doesn't bother me. Too many homophobes dislike it though. |
| None...yuri is like friendship,I mean kissing another girl wasn't big deal for me and I didn't feel smth special,as for yaoi,it pisses me off to see the big differences between uke and seme.The ukes are more feminine than girls which I find gross,and the semes are 100% machos.I don't really mind the yaoi when I can't tell who's the uke or who's the seme.. |

| On the thoughts of girlXgirl....... brb. |
| My Nuts Jumble. |
| I watch both but i don't watch hardcore yaoi but i can stand shonen ai |
| I don't Hate yuri, but i dont go looking for it either, as for yaoi I dont have a problem with homosexuals, everyone's choices are their own and you cant hate em for that, but a guy kissing a guy kinda creeps me out. Bottomline: I dont exactly like them, but i wouldnt pass up a good anime just because it has either one of these |
| i like both, but i dont watch alot of them. It was actually quite refreshing watching some yaoi, but as long as the anime is good i dont mind |

| Yaoi! For the sake of bishies. |
| I guess I'll go with yaoi. |
| Yuri anime^^ I 100% prefer yuri than yaoi |
| I like neither, nothing wrong with straight up romance is there? |
 |
| I go for both, but usually I'm more for yaoi anime. :3 |
| I think its important to note that within each genre there are both good and bad stories. The levels of intimacy vary among stories as well. I personally say yuri is ftw, but I admit that some of the things I've read were terrible. I'm not really into yaoi but I have read and thoroughly enjoyed the more innocent stories. :P  |
| Nah, don't like it. |
| Retired L2&WoW player. /b/ ftw. |
| yuri ftw! |
| I prefer both, if it has a good story why not read or watch the anime/manga. same with regular novels I'll read both Gay and Lesbian romance novels. There's nothing I consider distasteful in either because love is the same it's just the partner preferance that's different and it doesn't change how good or bad the story will be. |
 |
| Yaoi 35 22.44% Yuri (your vote) 73 46.79% Yay :D Yuri's worth watching :D |
| Hm, I guess I could say that I like both. I don't really go searching them out to watch, but if I come across one that has a good looking story, then I'll watch it. Whether it's two girls, or two guys really doesn't matter to me. But I'm more picky with yaoi, definitely. The guys actually have to look like GUYS for me to watch it XD So that takes out like 75% right there. |
| I prefer shounen-ai and shoujo-ai, personally. Less pornographic. |
| None, I didn't watch/read both of them. |
 |
| I voted both,but sadly up until now i've found only one good yuri ... i guess i want too much when i don't want lolis or drama,but if some1 recommends me sothing good i'll read it XD ....aaaaaaand general yaoi fan. （￣ー￣;） |

| lol more like the general population of MAL is male the poll is "what gender are you attracted to" actually fine with both, leaning towards yaoi because bishies > bishoujos anyday. |
KillJoyMafia said: Definitely yuri, but traps......Are they yaoi? Nope... i think not... |
| That's one hell of a necroception. I like both, not because they turn be on but because they crack me up. There's just something about the blatant attempts at titillation that makes me laugh by ass off. |
| Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove. Does it feel lonely? |
| You can improve the quality of any anime by adding canon, non-sexualized lesbians/bi girls/etc. into them. Just bring in more cute, sweet and overall fun girls kissing girls and bam, your anime is great. Even subtext with cute girls being cute and loving and caring with each other can improve a show. Just give me more non-sexualized girls interacting with other girls and possibly kissing. |
 |
| Yaoi has less votes than yuri? What? Where are the raging obsessed fangirls? |
| I don't watch Yaoi or Yuri, they make me feel uncomfortable. The most I can bear is very very mild shoujo/shounen ai, and also the whole plot shouldn't revolve around it. |
