| Normally women dominate romantic genres, but something tells me anime is the one medium where Yaoi would be more popular. Which do you prefer? |

| I don't know. You could just look at revenue in manga and anime. Not really anything to discuss here unless someone actually knows. I'd rather watch Yuri but Ive been watching BL lately too. |
Here's a hot take, one I know people aren't going to agree with. But... ...and honestly, I love them both equally. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.  |
Yuri all the way, i love anime girls kissing and hugging. |
| Yuri ofc, the more girls the better, sadly there are only a few good ones. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| I'm not against Yaoi but as a male I naturally just shy away from it. |
| I want girl-on-girl 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 If they are sisters even better Hehehehehehe 😎😎😎😎😎 Lesbian incest is wincest after all,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES  |
 |
| Both are shit and trash. Straight romance all the way. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| According to MAL's DB there are 174 BL anime but only 109 GL anime. Similarly with manga there are 10,118 BL but only 1,691 GL. BL is clearly dominating. As for me I don't prefer either, based on my experience GL is slightly better than BL but still both are shit filled with toxic relationships where rape and abuse is romanticized and developing Stockholm Syndrome is considered as "coming out", I prefer straight romance, there's more variety with that. |
 |
No winners here as someone like yuri, some like yaoi. I prefer BL works. |
 |
| yuri i prefer because im a simple man |
| I like them both, but I prefer yuri. Yuri is masterpiece. |
 |
| im afraid i might awaken something deep within me and i prefer that not to happen so yeah yuri all the way |
| still having great time with my stuff |
In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally assigned the designation male or female. The female connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the male connector. Most electrical connectors have a gender – i.e. the male component, called a plug, connects to the female component, or socket.  What are you going to do with 2 sockets or 2 plugs? |

| @Tiosar, modify them according to a purpose. |

@Tiosar 2 sockets work if one is turned axially by 90° degrees, 2 plugs don't work unless they use the "alternative socket" alternatingly. |

| I prefer Yaoi/BL but I still enjoy some yuri and GL as well BL is just my usual preference though haha |
 |
| Yuri since i'm a straight male. But i will occasionally like stories with yaoi elements as long as the romance is not the only focus. |
 |
| both are literally same with just changed appearances. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I like both since I just like queer romance stories. Also shoutout to bara |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| I like gay romance but prefer Yuri more often because it focuses on the sweeter parts of romance and the pretty characters enhance the mood much more. Personally I find characters in BL are usually unappealing. wish they would make a BL anime with Felix in it, I'd totally watch that every day! |
| I don't specifically like any of them but I rarely will watch a yuri anime but would never watch a yaoi anime. So I guess I prefer yuri. |

| @LSSJ_Gaming Weirdly bara is just a Western English speaking term. Japanese don't use it that way as far as I could find. There seems to be quite a few cases of stuff like this in the English speaking fandoms like shoujo-ai and shounen-ai not being Japanese broad terms for same sex romances. |
| Both are great! Unfortunately Yaoi is usually better written because often female characters (in anime) are seen as accessoires. I can't say I've seen a great queer anime though, everything I watched has been too afraid to followthrough with the better story. |
| Yaoi, more Bara leaning. Do not like stereotypical yaoi with freakish character proportions. |

| @Romaki, yes, you are right. And guys there usually are drawn perfectly. That is partly why I prefer to read BL works, story is also important for me of course without any doubts. |

| @Hanyou07 I don't think Yaoi would be popular if two dudes weren't good looking |
