| Why do people think Super Lovers is a "gay" anime? It doesn't even have any homosexual scenes just a few kisses between brothers. Even if their relationship is a little homo, can't you look past that and see the deeper themes about Family and Fulfilment. It's about a lonely man and an emotionally insecure boy and their relationship, but nothing sexual is implied. But the gay associations are enough to turn people off. Another example is Free, although I haven't seen that one. Do you avoid anime that you consider "gay"? Do you think that's a justifiable reason to give a show a lower score? Edit: Okay fine. Super Lovers is gay. Nothing sexual happens but apparently touching and kissing is enough to be gay to the majority of you. But is that enough to turn you off? Underneath the shounen-ai I found an interesting story, and I'd imagine that there are many other anime that have homosexual relationships that have good characters and engaging stories. But even I avoid certain genres because they make me uncomfortable. Where do people draw the line between what they can accept in their anime? Or what they don't want to watch because it makes them uncomfortable. |

| ... What? Why does Yaoi even exist?? |
| Because if I don't tell everybody about how not-gay I am, people might think that I'm gay. |
 |
| Jacob, stop. If you wanna be gay, be gay, period. |

| First of all, it is Shonen-Ai, because it does have love between males. Now, you say that is not gay because it doesn't have "sex" or something like that but just a few kisses here and there. You're basically stating that to be "gay" it needs to have "sex" or that kind of scene, right? I don't know then why are you so upset. And well, many people avoid them because is not their cup of tea, and maybe it is low rated by the people that actually are watching it, I don't see something wrong there. |
 |
| I don't avoid gay anime I embrace it. As for super lovers, laugh my fucking ass off. How do people think this is a yaoi? Honestly, it's judging a book by it's cover and they're missing out of a good story. |

| I avoid gay anime like free because I'm straight Is the same reason why I avoid reverse harem and sports anime with a lot of boys |
 |
| I really don't get why some people avoid "gay" anime like it's the bubonic plague either. What instantly comes to my mind is the anime Shinsekai Yori. There was literally only one very short scene where two guys kissed in 25 episodes. Yet so many people dropped it because it was 2gay4them even though homosexuality was just a very small detail and was really never brought up much again. What a shame... |

They may not be biologically related but that's the relationship they have. Are you saying that every anime with two brothers in it is a Shonen - Ai because they love each other? Also this is not about the rating, it's about people in my friends list... namely @BlackSad23 calling me gay for liking it. @-Senpai- You have my complete approval, nipples are the most sensual organ and I would be proud for you to display that. |

The idea is that it's shounen-ai because there's some focus on a romantic relationship between two men or the possibility for one, whether it's playful or serious can range from series to series. One example being yuru yuri as a shoujo ai, now there isn't any direct romance outside of kissing amongst the characters there are a few that are very clearly attracted to each other. Now personally would I ever watch shounen ai? Maybe. But it's extremely low on my priorities since it just doesn't seem like a genre that appeals to me. |

Just because they kiss a few times doesn't mean they're romantically involved. |

So proud Senpai. Come here so I can squeeze your nipples into a purple slushie. Actually come to think of it, purple slushie is a really bad analogy. Not funny either. You should make sure its obvious I was referencing something at the time or take it down |
|
| I love my yaoi but I can completely understand if some people don't want to watch shounen-ai or yaoi. Same way I don't really like shoujo anime. People have preferences. Also if you read the manga for Super Lovers, it's clearly a shounen-ai. I think it's pretty obvious in the anime too. |

Actually every anime doesn't have the possibility, or else the author would clearly state it and a genre would be associated with it. That's like saying every anime ever is romance because it could happen but it won't. I mean I'll just be direct, Shounen Ai is basically the more friendly/playful version of Yaoi that can be aired on TV on regular channels because it doesn't contain explicit content. I'm slightly concerned that you don't think two brothers kissing is a least a little gay, but I'll just move on from that point. The genre still carries a highly romantic implication like I said the seriousness of which ranges from series to series. I'll add another shoujo ai example since that's what I'm more familiar with, Kampfer. Kampfer had some scenes that really treaded the line for explicit but it never quite crossed it hence why it's Shoujo Ai and not Yuri. |

| Gay (adjective): cheerful, happy, bright, glad, lively, etc. I don't see why anyone would avoid such anime. |
| I mean...I get that it's about brotherly love, but Elsa and Anna managed to make it through Frozen without sticking their tongues down each others throats (that didn't happen until I wrote my creepy fanfics) |
 |
| The reason people avoid anime they consider "gay" is because they're afraid of their own sexuality. A lot of men associate their masculinity with their attraction to women, and consider anything gay effeminate. To put it simply, they're afraid they're going to see something they like. ;) |

Aww, cmon DLM are you telling me you never played hide the Ochinchin with your brothers? :^) Alright, I'll give that to you since I didn't actually know that shonen-ai wasn't completely synonymous with yaoi. But the show isn't really about them in a romantic sense, it's about them as family. And it's an interesting story because of it. Also the possibility that two men will end up romantically involved isn't the same as it actually happening. |

Only child master race, but just a quick edit super lovers does have a romance tag as well. Granted I'm not watching it I would assume there's at least some romantic tones to it. Now it might be amongst the other characters but I would assume it's focused on the main characters. |
| @Clebardman I'm talking about a shoujo when a lot of hot guys want one girl Is not normal for a guy to like that kind of shows Same is not normal for a girl to like a harem |

That doesn't mean that they're worth anything to people who can't get past the in your face disgust they may feel towards the main aspect of the show. |

| I don't like yaoi and shounen-ai, because it does not cater to my interests. To begin with, these genres are intended for a female audience, and are usually overflowing with romantic dilusions that fujoshi have about male relationships. Not to mention that it's everywhere in the doujin scene. Try finding good JoJo doujin without gay Jotaro and Kakyoin....error 404: doujin not found It's okay that people express themselves in their fanfics, but it's getting out of hand with all the hentai doujin, ESPECIALLY yaoi Cant trust anime-recommendations from my female friends either,since it's always kind of yaoi.... |

I'm gonna feel like a dick for saying this, but there are some things that have a stronger impact on people than other things. Whatever themes the show has will probably be overshadowed by the homosexual overtones. Kind of like how brokeback mountain is a tale about masculinity and homosexuality being viewed as opposites by the forced gender roles society puts on us, but all it can be remembered as is the gay people on a mountain movie. Look, I don't know about you, but I legitimately get a sense of disgust when I see two male characters get physically intimate. It's not an emotional feeling that I control. It's a gut physical reaction. Same thing happens with two girls for me. I don't like it, but I've seen it as an indicator of my own sexuality. If anything I see, or think about causes that feeling, I'll avoid it. |
