| assuming this is romance genre, shoujo ai is the only kind of romance i deliberately picked anime containing it im not gay i just like lesbians |
 |
| Shoujo Ai and Shounen AI equally. Straight stuff (with exceptions) is cringy. |

| I like straight romances (excluding shoujo rom-coms) and shounen-ai equally, I wouldn't say I dislike shoujo-ai but I generally avoid it. Pretty much something like this: straight (non shoujo)=shounen ai>shoujo rom-coms≥shoujo-ai |
 |
| All. I can watch all of them with no problem. |

| Basically you're asking which one is preferable: Yuri, Yaoi or straight? It all depends in the user fam, without going too deep we can always assume that female = yaoi/straight male = yuri/straight |
| I like anything. I'm more interested in how strong the relationship between the characters is than what gender they are. |

Genette400 said: This topic has probably been done to death, but I still am curious about your preference. This topic could really benefit from a poll. > Shounen-ai, shoujo-ai, or straight? Shoujo-ai. Straight is good too. Shounen-ai is okay, but don't expect me to like it, I'm here for the girls. Because I am a heterosexual male. |
| Straight. I find homosexuality to be disgusting and a great sin. I hate Shojou ai the most especially when a lesbian tries to steal the straight MC. Ruins shows. |
| Straight, I don't like Shoujo ai with exceptions. Shounen ai is a hard pass for me |
  |
| Most probably straight but any cute, sweet and PURE romance is always welcomed otherwise I'm not a big fan of the genre itself. I'm still not sure about how things get classified into shoujo-ai and yuri or shounen-ai and yaoi. At first I just thought that more graphic content would go under yuri or yaoi (which I want to stay away from at all costs!) and lighter fluff would go under shounen-ai or shoujo-ai but not having much experience in the genres I don't know whether I just stumbled on some outliers or I had the wrong idea about them to begin with. I had read the manga Pieta which had a yuri tag but nothing really happened in it (luckily!) while there was Junjou Romantica which only had a shounen-ai tag but it was so disgusting I decided to drop it in like 5 mins. Right now I basically have no opinion about shoujo-ai but since I hated everything (except Uraboku) in the shounen-ai genre plus how loud and annoying fujos usually are and how I can never like those disgusting jerks called "semes" I'll most probably stay away from that. Even where straight is concerned, I hate series where the guy forcibly keeps on kissing the girl and she just ends up falling for him or even the other way around, anything onscreen that goes beyond kisses is definitely an immediate drop for me. |

| I'm down for all of it. Hoping to get more quality Shonen-ai and Shoujou-ai in the future. The quality of these shows at the moment tends to be lower in terms of writing, since the industry is currently seeing it as a less picky niche (I'm looking at you fujoshis...) Feel like we've got way too many straight romances proportionately, but that's only to be expected when the vast majority of the world is cis-straight. |

pretty much just prefer guy on girl  but I don't have a problem with gays and lesbians in anime if its there. Can be pretty funny too honestly |
 |
| I have yet to find an anime where the main couple was gay that I actually enjoyed. With that said I dislike most straight romances in anime as well. Forced couples with no chemistry is an all too common problem in this medium. Shoujo ai and Shounen ai have the additional detriment of consistently having a main character that was straight their entire lives right up until they met the romance interest of the series. |

Your initial impression what those genre should contain is right. Problem is these two genre and the whole classification based on the sexual content is a purely western invention. And the usage is usually fervently rejected within the actual fanbases themself. Most go by the japanese approach: If it's girlXgirl it's yuri - if it's boyXboy it's yaoi. For everything besides that the title usually has more than one genre attached to it (like hentai, drama, romance, etc.). Which makes sense because for staight stuff there is no such distinction. So you have to see if the site you use actually recognizes shoujo ai / shounen ai as official genre. And then it depends where the person responisble for tagging the title draws the line regarding the sexual content. |
 |
| Honestly, Shoujo-ai has better art than shounen-ai, but straight appeals to me more because I'm straight... for the most part. But sometimes the art is worse than shoujo-ai. And then you have the rare cases of shounen-ai with good art and story like Acid Town. So, Straight > Shoujo-ai > Shounen-ai. |
 |
| For shows that aren't hentai, I prefer straight. Yuri is good fap material. |
   |
| I don't care as long as it offers romance but I do prefer shounen ai .. |

| Depends on how its done. I just hate forced romances in anything, no matter the gender. |
| I watch all of the above, but I think I get more invested into shounen-ai. My heart. I can't. |

| Straight and shounen-ai, I just can't with the yuri. |
| Shoujo-Ai for fucking life! Yuri if possible too. |

| Depends on the characters and their dynamic. I like straight and shounen-ai. I'm open to shoujo-ai if it featured in anime I'm watching. Straight » Like it Shounen-ai » Constantly looking for it Shoujo-ai » Don't mind it EDIT: If we're talking about anime genre, then the answer is none of them. I'm not into romance anime, straight or gay. I only read romance fanfictions and doujinshis |

| Straight, heterosexual romance is my preference. The the other kinds don't really interest me unless they're primarily some other genre and not what the whole show is about. I've seen a few examples of both that weren't too bad. |

| I don't go out of my way to pick up straight or shoujo-ai romance, whatever I happen to notice and find interesting. I do go out of my way however to NOT watch shounen-ai. |
| If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Anything that's gay af is something I'll pick up. Gay? Hell yeah. Lesbian? Hell yeah. Confused? Hell yeah. Gender bender? Hell yeah. Androgynous characters? Hells to the yeah. Straight is fine too but sometimes it gets a bit dull for me. |
| I do love them equally and not that biased in yaoi as long as they have interesting story. |

| I'm straight, but 'm OK with all of these, as long as the love story touches my heart. Though I don't really watch much of shounen-ai and shoujo-ai proper in their classic understanding (some of their tropes are too sweet-sugary to me), I love shipping guys and girls whose relationship is allllllllmost there (think of almost any sports anime - they're not kissing, but we know they're gay af for each other). |
| Shoujo-Ai because i'm a pervert. Straight is generic nowadays |

| I tend to be okay with all...shounen-ai - well it depends on the themes and relationships. In my experience, shounen-ai seems to have the recurring themes of rape, harassment and betrayal. |
 |
| Shoujo-Ai, because it features such risqué and lewd features like...holding hands. I don't mind straight stuff, and I don't mind shounen-ai. I just don't actively seek those two out, compared to Shoujo-Ai. |
