| OP that's like asking why more people like lesbian porn more than they like male gay porn. |
| People like what appeals to them and dislike what doesn't. That's all there is to it. |

But I think I speak for everybody when I say that there is no run for Biggots on anime forums, I've been picked on enough. |

I would say 95% of all yuri is made for girls. Same with yaoi.. it's made for girls. In Japan guys just stay 50ft from yuri and yaoi at don't really cares what goes on in those manga. I think the only haters of yaoi are white 15 old homophobic virgins. ie MAL definately for girls.. even yuri hentai is mainly for girls. big manga store have a level marked for men one for girls... you can only get yaoi and yuri hentai on the girls level. Tentacles and bondage for the men :D sometimes i chill out on the girls level to watch hot girls flicking through yuri hentai mangas. turns me on. but i only go on the girls floor when im with a girl.. otherwise i would probably scare all the girls away xD |
 |
| Isn't it the other way round? I know way more people who like yaoi than people who like yuri. |
  |
| So lesbian manga's are made for girl and gay manga's are made also for girls? It doesn't seems right to me |

| RRRRRRRRRR |
Mirati said: So lesbian manga's are made for girl and gay manga's are made also for girls? It doesn't seems right to me yuri appeals to girls because the relationships are more gentle and sensitive.. there is a sweetness about it. and yaoi appeals to girls because 1, the guys are feminine gentle,2, there aint no other bitches talking to the guys they like, and 3, some girls dont like girls in anime because they are so weak/annoying/dominated |
|
| How come yaoi gets official releases on a regular basis (And its own section inside some of the manga stores I've been too) while yuri doesn't get jack shit? Quit your whining. Can't you just be grateful that Free exists? |
 |
| It just that most BL lovers are frequent Tumblr and Fanfiction-visitors. They hardly come here. which is why most people you met are BL haters/yuri fans. |
Falcie said: Is it because there are more males in MAL? That's the most logical explanation actually... That, but only by a bit. However, depending on where you are, chances are they're more active (e.g. forums). Slayermaster said: Sexuality demographics. Most people are heterosexual, statistically*, that's about it. Like that explains anything. BL and yaoi are aimed at straight girls, too. *facepalm* And about Yuri, that was initially aimed at girls, but now there is also yuri for guys, although I have to say I have only found yuri with an ecchi tag or something else that indicates it's for guys on MAL (I'm not interested in the first place, though).

-Muuse- said: Mclovinballs said: Because yaoi is a bunch of gay dudes and that's gay while yuri has the chance of hot girls going all out lesbian which is more awesomer Jauregui said: I like tits, not dicks. NeoAnkara said: Because girl on girl is hot and male on male is eww. Sourire said: more males watch anime. This sums everything up. Quite ... plus yuri feels much more subtle as opposed to yaoi on my part. Plus watching fujoshi's squeal and cackle over a ship between ridiculously feminine looking guys is not the most pleasant thing to listen to. |

| I don't watch either |
| I'm going to give an opinion from a man's perspective. We usually view women as something pure and other men as something dirty. So in a typical male brain seeing girl on girl action causes an "Ahh, nice" reaction and a man to man action causes a "Ugh, yuck!" reaction. |

 "Climb the mountain not so the world can see you, but so that you can see the world." |
| The unfortunate little group that often hate on Yaoi, have their own category that is strictly used to label those individuals "If they can't appreciate a good D, then they'll much less appreciate two wonderful yogurt dispensers" |
| Question, is yuri/yaoi entirely within fan-ships? Or is there a whole homosexual romance sub genre? Is it just homosexual pornography or romance? I'm not very knowledgable on this. Also, how is homosexuality viewed in Japan as opposed to America? |
| Want to talk? Club! "Would you like an anti-psychotic?" *Bonus points if you leave a comment about the meaning of my signature.* |
| I don't hate on yaoi, I just don't watch it. They all seem like fanservice with no plot and no real characters. I like yuri but I didn't like Strawberry Panic for the same reason. |
| Double Standard, obviously. |

Slayermaster said: Question, is yuri/yaoi entirely within fan-ships? Or is there a whole homosexual romance sub genre? Is it just homosexual pornography or romance? I'm not very knowledgable on this. Also, how is homosexuality viewed in Japan as opposed to America? Yes, this is a genre of itself and there are official mangas/anime with this as their main point. And it can be both sexually explicit or focus on the romantic aspects of the relationship. Well, at least for Yuri, dunno much about yaoi. (And for Yuri at least I'd say you have more series with non-explicit content than the other way around) |

The problem isn't yuri fans hating on people for liking yaoi. It's the yaoi fans that have the screwed up notion that yuri fans are out to get them. That's going to happen with a lot of things, and in almost any place that you go. Girls have a slight advantage in the fact that, no matter where or what it is, they can argue that they are oppressed, and hence, they deserve more. They will never be happy, even when they are ahead or things are equal. They've grown this mentality that, no matter how much they get, the other side of it always has more. Personally speaking, I've been completely ostracized by fujoshis at conventions before. Now, what did I do in return? Nothing, I basically just said, "Sorry for bothering you girls" Now, the catch is that in response they said, "You better be sorry. You guys shouldn't even argue what good anime is, because you have no taste" It felt horrible to hear something like that, but do those girls represent the whole demographic? No. I've met plenty of nice Fujoshis in the past, but there are good ones and bad ones. It just goes to show that there are good people and bad people on either side of the argument, and the fujoshis are getting an equal amount to Yuri Fans, if not more. Arguing and saying, "Well we need more Yaoi, and fanservice for girls because the Anime community is run by men and set for men" May have a sliver of truth to it, but the vast majority of it is pure hyperbole. Nobody should be arguing that "they deserve more" or are "entitled" to more things. Further more, nobody should argue that one is better than the other. [Rant Over} |
| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |

The problem isn't yuri fans hating on people for liking yaoi. It's the yaoi fans that have the screwed up notion that yuri fans are out to get them. And you're right about yaoi fans getting more "stuff", but well, when the term "fujoshit" is a popular internet phrase, and any fan of yaoi is looked upon as a disgusting heathen, getting demographic-specific material isn't really the concern here. It's the general attitude toward the genre and the fans. Nobody hates yuri fans. At least, nobody I know of. And it's funny you mention going to a convention and having the utter displeasure of being forced to witness the horrid yaoi stands. Kind of proving my point :/ Yaoi fans don't complain about not having yaoi stuff. In fact, yaoi fans, from what Ive seen, seem to be very creative and proactive with their hobby. I mean, have you seen the amount of SnK yaoi doujins? No no, they complain about being hated on because of their hobby. If a show has a yuri esque fan-service scene, that otherwise isn't a yuri, nobody bats an eye. There may be some sarcastic comments in the episode discussion about how it's cheap fan service, but really nothing more. Have a yaoi esque scene, and well, people drop the show and rate it a 1. See Shinsekai Yori (that had both yuri and yaoi, but people only dropped it for the yaoi. Or at least, the ones immature enough to announce their disgust with the show to the forums only dropped it for the yaoi). |

| OP, you might as well ask "Why do guys like girls more than boys?" |
| You could have even posted "Why are people so homophobic about anime?" And it would have worked. Seriously, I go in the recommendations and all I see is "I'm up for anything, just not yaoi or yuri." Anyway, I like yaoi better but I do enjoy yuri from time to time. Although some people are really immature about it and say "Oh mai gawd why dafuq did dat guy kis dat uther guy?" Well not like that, but you get the immaturity over it. |

MEanimaniac1 said: You could have even posted "Why are people so homophobic about anime?" And it would have worked. Seriously, I go in the recommendations and all I see is "I'm up for anything, just not yaoi or yuri." To be fair....and I really mean this....I don't think most people who say they don't like yaoi or yuri are homophobic. I consider myself VERY open minded and tolerant. However, some things just do not appeal to me....and two dudes going at it is one of those things. UNLESS...one of the dudes looks like a girl (trap) then I'm not going for it. In the end this has to do with sexual preferences. |
MEanimaniac1 said: I wouldn't say not liking yaoi/yuri is homophobic, because they both indicate porn with explicit sex. Shows/manga in this genre are usually fan-service oriented and have very predominant sexual themes. Straight guys don't like gay porn. That's pretty understandable.mayukachan said: MEanimaniac1 said: You could have even posted "Why are people so homophobic about anime?" Wait, it's homophobic to not like watching yaoi/yuri? Yes, if you think about it, it is. Shounen-ai and shoujo-ai, on the other hand, are not pornographic or otherwise sexually explicit. So I'd say that disliking that is homophobic. |

MEanimaniac1 said: mayukachan said: MEanimaniac1 said: You could have even posted "Why are people so homophobic about anime?" Wait, it's homophobic to not like watching yaoi/yuri? Yes, if you think about it, it is. So, it's homophobic for people to be uncomfortable with watching two guys kissing? If so, would it be heterophobic for people to be uncomfortable with watching two people kiss? I have a friend who's heterosexual and doesn't like watching people kiss and have sex etc. |
Red_Keys said: Shounen-ai and shoujo-ai, on the other hand, are not pornographic or otherwise sexually explicit. So I'd say that disliking that is homophobic. In what context? I personally DO dislike shounen-ai because I generally dislike romance drama, but even then what exactly would appeal to me in a story about a homosexual relationship? In a Heterosexual relationship, at least I can relate to that, seeing as I've actually been in a heterosexual relationship and thus I can understand it. But since I'm not gay or bi, I can't relate to homosexual relationships.....hell, this goes for shoujo-ai as well. The only reason I would watch shoujo-ai is to be enticed by it, not to actually care for it in the same way I would a heterosexual relationship. |
