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

Most anime fans are heterosexual males.Many heterosexual males don't mind seeing two hot chicks getting it on and sometimes turned on by watching two hot chicks getting it on.I say the the word hot chicks because no one wants to see Rosie O'donnell getting it on with a another chick.

There is a beautiful anime that is a yaoi about traps. Why don't you watch it?

Not really interested in either. Have seen decent examples of both though.

What are you talking about OP? Everybody loves both yaoi and yuri.


Nah, I actually prefer straight romance because it's really hard to find yaoi or yuri that's written decently, imho.

Guys, did you notice? I'm straight. Please observe my heterosexuality. Guys, please. Guys? I'm straight.
Are you implying I'm not a heterosexual male?

Because if you do, I swear I really am straight, pls trust me

Straight people are still allowed to watch and enjoy yaoi. In fact yaoi is specifically made for straight people. It is made for straight girls, but straight guys can watch chick flicks without being questioned about their sexuality and it will even further prove their heterosexuality if they watched it with a straight girl.

Lesson of the day: it's fine to watch yaoi as long as there's a girl watching it with you.

Well like someone else said already because most of the anime fans are males.. I believe it's true because there's always more harem and Shounen mangas being made into anime.. Also to prove my point I think you've notice there's always at least one generic magic harem series airing per season while us the female audience get at least 1 per year.. Producers believe guys will always go out of there way to buy any anime merchandise while woman don't typically waste much money on it.. Anyways My apologizes for going off topic I believe a straight woman wouldn't mind watching either yaoi or yuri anime while a straight male do.. I'm not saying a straight male wouldn't watch a Yaoi anime but it's rare to find someone who will be brave enough to admit it.

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.

Judging strictly by MAL population, both genders seem to be in equal numbers. As for real life, I happen to know more female anime fans than males. I also hear that in Japan the number of male fans outgrows the number of the female ones by large.

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

The last time I checked an overwhelming majority of this site's users were male. Unfortunately I don't remember where that was and am also not sure how reliable that data was.

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.


Yuri tag means shit all on most sites, try "Girls only" if they have it.

Op there's actually more fans of yaoi on this site then you might think, it's certainly not as popular as yuri but there's still fans. Yuri tends to have a lot more accessible anime available for people to watch, while yaoi most of the times is very graphic with not much inbetween. There's not many genuine gay romance anime that doesn't include rape fantasies or over the top sex sequences. Wouldn't mind seeing more yaoi couples in mainstream anime, as long as they extremely over the top and stereotypical. Kanji from Persona 4 is one of my favorite gay characters, wish there were more like him.

Because Yuri is amazing! I have a friend who is asexual yet she and I both have fanboy/girl spazzisms about Yuri. Oh and Yuri is diabetus inducing cuteness.



Yaoi... spread them cheeks girly boy! It's coming in wether you want it or not!

Though Yuri does have some rape... Yuru Yuri S.1 Ep.5.

I always thought that yaoi was far more popular than yuri, since most female fans tend to be attracted to yaoi series. Most of the time I've checked out a female user on MAL with more than 300 manga entries, it tends to be filled with an overwhelming amount of yaoi one-shots or single volume series. I just think that yaoi gets more hate because most men dont want to read or watch homoerotic series involving men.

I dislike both genres and tend to avoid them.

Edit - out of the people that I actually talk about anime and manga to, none of them have ever talked about watching or reading a yuri series.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Because gay men is a bigger taboo than gay woman, and the other things that have been already told, like homofobia, the fact that anime comunity is probabil 60%-40% male-female, etc.

you are straight AND like yaoi!? well mister i have some news for you....


also even without all the gay shit, yaoi is bad - average at best. probably a good equivalent in the straight heimsphere would be fan service.

I once heard an interesting theory about Yaoi fangirls, since the boys in Yaoi are typically Bishounens, and Bishounens tend to be overtly feminine, Yaoi fangirls are thus closet lesbians.

Yeah, NO.

No type of love is any "purer" than another type. Such BS is that.
