Title is self explanatory. Personally, I don't mind either yaoi or yuri but I'm also not a hardcore fujioshi or anything.

Because Yuri still had an erotic touch to it to a certain extent while yaoi is just... ugh.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that.

Do you go to conventions?

Yuetsu is my body, and wine is my blood
I have trolled over a thousand users

Yet, my question will never be answered

Simple : It's because yaoi has also many fangirls (or fanboys, if there are). When one franchise is getting popular, it's also getting hated. Anddd, I don't even know some of yuri and shoujo-ai animes. Only thing I remember is Yuru Yuri.

Another reason is for those guys who just don't like it because it's their own gender. Like what Kuma said, most anime fans are male.

Yaoi is just female rape fantasies with gorillas. Yuri is often innocent, lots of rainbows and love. Its clear which one is superior.

I find this quite true as well, at least displayed in anime. Because of the commonly used seme and uke for yaoi, its pretty common to have forceful content while yuri tends to follow the path of being pure.

Of course this isn't always true but still the more common path.

As a male I do not tend to watch the kinds of anime that would involve male romance. Just like how there is yuri subtext there is also yaoi subtext. I like both but I see more yuri subtext.

I don't think the yuri fanbase is as big and 'out there' like the yaoi fanbase so it's more easy to pick on the yaoi fanbase I guess

No, Depend on the author Yaoi also a pure love of boy-boy not just a rainbow for fap purpose. but if you're talking about half ass written doujin then.......

i've never read Yaoi, just quote what my fujoshi friend told me

I believe this is the answer.

you can just pick rondom anime site that have gender speciality. (take MAL for example) and look how many presentage male compare to femele.

also yes. i ever in the convention. if we are talking about cosplayer, the comparison will be smaller. but if you look at visitor, mainly are male. but it depend on what even too. it should talk much.

This is one reason.

Plus sex between gay men is a lot more messy what with all the dicks going into asses and the cum flying everywhere. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being into that, I just find it kind of gross as a straight male is all.

Yaoi is more popular. And more popular things generally tend to have more haters. That's just the way it is.

Yaoi has more rape.

in certain sites i usually use 11174 archive has yaoi tag, only 835 of them has rape tag. 7,47%

in the other hand 13437 archive has yuri tag. and 1496 of them has rape tag. 11,13%

it doesn't different much TBH. yuri fans also like rape. the presentage yuri rape even higher than yaoi rape.

If there was a yaoi spin-off of yuru yuri called "yuru yaoi" I would watch it. In it Kyouko would make doujinshi of a battle shounen manga instead of Mirakurun.

i'd probably watch it too in all honesty
doubt it'd be anywhere near as popular as the original though

But it's sad when I write a yuri story I barely get any fans but when I write a yaoi I get hundreds and that's just sad.

Did you make it so that those yuri titles are pure yuri and not just some titles with rape by men but have girl on girl scenes? Cause that's pretty common. Not sure what sites you're using but if it's g-e/exh, they have a females_only tag.

That's a good point. The one rape hentai I watched involved a guy using mind control to rape his crush, rape his sister, and then make them rape each other. I could see that getting a yuri tag even though it wasn't actually yuri.

My personal opinion is

Yuri is usually a thing you find in a few animes and all over doujin sites, however it isn't really common unless you look for it.

Yaoi on the other hand, is something I take a turn into a wrong fandom (lets say something like DRRR!! or Black Butler, where I like the series) and want to talk about the plot and characters and end up getting yaoi shippings forced down my throat by easily triggered fujoshis. Which is unpleasent.

I have nothing against Shonen-ai anime, however I've had the concept of yaoi shipping ruined for me so whenever I see someone say the word I get a bit annoyed.

My Little Pony had plenty of yuri shipping in the fandom and some of them were almost cannon. For any TV show with a single gender main cast there will be homosexual shipping.

oh yeah, i forgot that tag. thanks.

if i using males/femelas only tag. what i got is

males only Yaoi: 48/1662 2,9%
females only yuri: 9/452 2,00%

again, doesn't really different much. thou the yaoi become higher.
