Personally I don't like both yaoi & yuri. I can somehow watch if the side character is gay/lesbo. But if the main characters are like that, It becomes almost impossible for me to watch that anime.

Just quit anime.

If I had to pick one I'd choose yaoi, mainly because most of the time I find the characters in yuri (and most majority female series' really) to be rather annoying lul

Neither, I hate both of them, since they're both trash.

Considering that the choice of such genres is usually strongly associated with sexuality, for me personally the question sounds like "Which do you prefer, men or women?".

I'm kinda neutral to both. I've enjoyed a couple of series from each but there's also so many bad-mid quality ones in both genres that I wouldn't call myself a fan of either. They're usually either too bland and cutesy or trashy/fetishy for me.

Its not quite like that. For example: I don't like both yuri & yaoi. But I'm a heterosexual boy and I get attracted to woman. Very simple.

Well, it's simple for those of us who don't have weird hang-ups about same sex pairings. lol
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I agree, like them too, but also brutal. I like both types.
ScionOfCyan said:
I saw someone smart on this forum say Yuri and Yaoi often refer to platonic relationships. The sexual side of Yuri and Yaoi isn't my thing, so I'll answer under the platonic meaning of these words.

In general, I prefer Yaoi to Yuri. But Sayaka-Kyouko is my no-doubt favorite relationship in anime thus far.

Yes, I also prefer Yaoi, BL genre in general.
Like two main heroes in Banana Fish, Eiji and Ash. They are so powerful for me and their love is mostly non-sexual and platonic, like bromance.

I can watch both and like both if the show is well written and entertains me. I don't self-insert or anything so I don't care if the main couple shares similarities to my personal taste.

While I voted for both, there's lot of better Yaoi compared to Yuri out there. They don't put much effort into yuri and most of em have generic characters and stories.

Usually works in BL genre are more interesting, have charming characters and unique plot.

Yuri could have had potential, but in practice it's a write off of a genre, with barely any entries, and basically none that's actually worth watching.

Yeah, its kinda easy to find a yuri-fangirl but really hard to find a yaoi-fan boy.
In our religion both (gay/lesbo) are strictly forbidden tho.

Yuri is more popular because it successfully combines a male fetish that may also be of interest to a female audience. This is true for all waifu bait in general. As producer Bushiroad said, it's easier for you to find girls who will pay for waifu than men for hasubendo.

I will surprise you, most of the fiction works on self-inserting. It's just that people often don't realize it.
