^Yeah, they can be Fetish Fuel if done right, but I like it better when the idea is either subverted, deconstructed, or reconstructed.
And about the Gravi fanboy who hates Gravi fangirls: He seems to hate them because they're GIRLS who *gasp* think that Guy on Guy Is Hot (which is the sole province of gay/bisexual men ([1]). Oh, and they can never understand Gravi on a TRULY DEEP LEVEL because they're not in the {=M 4 M=} community!one!11!
(IMHO, his taste is shit.)
The ones I run into more often though are the straight ones who think all gay men are Camp Gay and Big Macho Character X can't be gay because he's Badass and the World's Strongest Man, not a Pet Homosexual hairdresser.

Heaven doesn't want me, and Hell's afraid I'll take over.It has occurred to me that we've been talking on the yaoi thread for over a page and haven't posted a single yaoi pic. That's just wrong, folks.

You know, I'm not a Yaoi fan, but I honestly don't see why there's all this hatred toward it. So some folks think that Guy on Guy Is Hot? Fine. God knows there's been more than enough Girl-on-Girl is Hot.
no one will notice that I changed this^A lot of straight men find a.)associating with gay and bisexual men to be like having their dicks forcibly chopped off and b.) women to be incredibly annoying when they favor said "unmanly" gay guys to their MANLINESS, OR if they even show signs of a sexuality.

As long as they don't have any spoilers, of course.

IMPENDING RAPE
Chances are, I'm not actually wearing any pants right now.I think some of the yaoi hate comes from the younger girls who don't find it to their taste, because they're not yet comfortable enough in their own sexuality to acknowledge other people's as equally-valid.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!Oh, I've seen it happen; fangirls who want to go on the record as not being like 'those crazy yaoi chicks'.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!Somewhat related, what's with fanboys screaming "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY FANDOM?!!11!!" when fangirls make slashiness out of it? Barring the more extreme Draco in Leather Pants-ing of certain Complete Monsters, why not be sensible and just ignore it? Fangirls and fanboys don't tend to mix, anyway.

Some probably could work to understanding the situation is not always appropriate for that sort of thing.

New User Handle^ Oh, I know there's a Vocal Minority who enjoy major Ukefication and fuck it up for everyone. But you'd think these guys would have brains and realize there are perfectly sensible fangirls around.

I am also referring to the fact that if a thread is not very sexual in nature, it might be inappropriate to gush about porn.
New User Handle^This is very true, and goes for everyone.
And the young female yaoi haters are, in my experience, very religious and listen to everything their parents tell them about homosexuality. Either that or they're hating on it to be rebellious/different from their peers.

True. Fan Haters are a different breed from "Meh, it's not my thing".
