Is there anything particularly wrong with yaoi?

[Keava]

Dunno, whats wrong with porn at all? And how is it different than any other form?

As a female (last time i checked at least), i don't find it particularly interesting however. Sure the 'bois' might look cute but same time they are quite far away from what i consider attractive among the male part of our species. Then again overly cute girls ain't my thing either unless the cuteness is broken by the overall surrealism of the looks.

As long as no-one is forcing me to watch it, and DeviantArt has that mature content mask, I couldn't care less.

Absolutely not, there's a few good one's I've seen (I'm not gay), the only problem with Yaoi is that it's totally gay.

Yaoi is an abomination. Personally I find it disgusting and extremely offensive.
But hell. Go for it..

I don't have any issue with it. There's no more of an issue than there is with Brokeback Mountain. Well, actually, it doesn't have Heath Ledger, so BM has that on it, but there's nothing wrong with it.

i'm a guy and i like it. well some of it. the ones that aren't just a cute romance with no action and way too many flower petals! i find the character roles interesting too, it alows you to think about what you would be like in that situation (personally, i would be the uke :3).

There's nothing wrong with the concept of yaoi, unless your homophobic and/or 12 years old.

Though, there is a the argument that often times, yaoi doesn't portray homosexual relationships in the most realistic light. Often times, there is an uke (submissive) and seme (dominate) partner, so essentially, it's taking the heterosexual model and applying it to two men. Real relationships regardless of the sex of those involved, rarely works like this where one person is wholly dominate and the other is wholly submissive. Of course, you could argue this with the whole genre of romance in literature.

I don't hate it, I hate what it does to screeching fangirls.

Is there any other kind of fangirl? :/

Is that why guys like girl-on-girl?

Answer straight from my macho, "notch on the bedpost" kind of straight friends: we like girl-on-girl cause lesbians are fucking hot. *sigh* straight guys can be so simple...

OT: There is nothing wrong with Yaoi. It's fucking awesome. The only problem people have with it is that it is essentially gay porn and that squicks a lot of dudes out.

Well, since it's simply drawn gay porn (in combination with more or less elaborate stories) I can't really think of a single reason there could be anything wrong to it.

Can't say I'm really interested in it myself, although if it exist in combination with a worthwhile story, then it won't really be much of a deterrent either. So I'll probably check out Togainu no Chi some time.

Straight up yaoi? I don't have any issue with it and I'm a hetero guy.

But when people start throwing in shit like rape, incest and male pregnancy like they're some kind of beautiful and romantic subjects, that's where I draw the line and proceed to place gun turrets every five feet on that line.

Sick bas**rds.
