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.

I’m open to all of them, but I prefer straight (if the MC isn’t miserable) and shoujo-ai (I like girls lol). I can watch shounen-ain if the characters aren’t downright depressing or horny.

Why do you say this? I checked your list and couldn't find any shoujo-ai or shounen-ai that were bad. I understand not liking the genre bc of bad misrepresentation. Are you just not a fan of the gayz?

This.

I am able to like shounen-ai but it's normally subtext at most. It's very hard to find a shounen-ai with a CANON ship that's actually well-written. >_>

I've only watched straight romances because they're way more prevalent, not because I'm actively avoiding other types. I'll watch anything that's good, regardless of kind of gender pairing is going on. All I care about is a good story, and I'm secure with my sexuality no to be "offended" by other representations.

Of course being a fudanshi, I have a slight bias and enjoy shounen-ai/yaoi above the others but that definitely doesn't mean I'll turn my nose up at the them.

I love to read or watch a good Shoujo Ai - but Shounen Ai as well. Well unfortunately there are not that many 'good' Shounen Ai anime. Yet there are quite some enjoyable manga/novels - so both is fine I guess?

I don't really like romance at all, but if it's well written or a friendship/bromance thing then I have no problems with it. As for non-canon such as doujins/fanfics etc, I only look for male-male stuff.

In my opinion I am not a huge fun of any of the romance genre, whether if it’s Straight, Gay, Lesbian, I don’t like them because the most I’ve analyzed are forced romances and have no natural development what so ever. Consider the fact that I don’t like them doesn’t mean that there isn’t any that I didnt enjoy, because there are three that I really love: Rin Daughters of Mnemosyne (Yuri), Mo Dao Zu Shi (Shounen-Ai), and Chobits (Manga). Now two of the anime I listed aren’t typical Shoujo Ai and Shounen Ai shows, but it is very prevalent in their respective shows, and ties together with the plot. Another reason why I like those shows a lot is because It doesn’t throw the homosexuality in your face like Citrus and Super Lovers do (best examples of why I despise the genre). If you enjoy those kind of shows I’m not gonna judge you, I’m just giving my opinion on the matter.

I would say shounen-ai since I love gay romance and other boys but most anime about the topic are really shitty. There are some decent yuris and awesome straight romances- I feel like there's a serious lack on good yaoi in this medium.

All of them. Either I love their chemistry or not.
I'm open to almost everything non-loli/shotacon/furry.
Even to a handful of polyships. Still, it's just a weird and kinda repulsive (for me and my life personally!) concept to me, but something like Shinsekai Yori was it worth it.
I also had a hard time at first to get into love-triangles and ... circles, but I must accept them, if I want to watch it. Now I like some anime with really "tiring" love-drama, but still, I would always prefer a cute non-triangle-monogamous ship everywhere else, or at least, I don't wish for it, because still... don't like really.

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 have to disagree.
I am a female and I like all of this genres. And I'm straight.

Mostly straight. Shounen-ai and Shoujo-ai are such niche genres that most series involving it just stick to the basics, and most of them just portray gay relationships as some kind of kink instead of a lifestyle.

Were it not for that, I wouldn't actually care, as long as the story is written well then I could care less what the genders are. Straight romances are just less likely to be pandered to a specific demographic.

Not all shounen-ai is abusive. I no where near support that content. But I’m not about to argue with you. Obviously you have a set opinion so there’s no point.

Can watch everything.

But I avoid usually shounen-ai and yaoi. As that's not my preference. (but seen some and some are in the list to watch)

I do enjoy seeing some lesbian action, so yeah. Shoujo-Ai and Yuri is cute often.

And straight I enjoy the most. Love blissful vannilla romance that is faithful and ever lasting.

That’s accurate. I have enjoyed a few straight romance anime; Millenium actress, Nisekoi (manga was decent), My Little Monster was pretty good too. I was generalizing and that’s my mistake. 👍🏻

I obviously prefer straight no matter what but I have nothing against Shoujo-Ai/Yuri (only in fiction though, not in real life) and would like to watch a few that aren't steamy or boring.

Shounen-ai/Yaoi is a big no-no for me. No matter what, I just can't bring myself to like it. I have a huge disliking towards it. I find guy x guy making out disgusting.

(But I still won't approve same gender couples in real life. I won't bash you guys if you do it but I still won't approve it.)
