^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.

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.

Here, have another Narita-created Crack Pairing

(unintentional thread-starter stops in for a moment)

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.

^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.

And, despite being a straight man, I find those attitudes incomprehensible.

It depends if they're hating on the concept of yaoi, or yaoi as a genre.

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.

^^ Really? I haven't seen a real lot of female yaoi haters, it's mostly guys that are really vehement about it in my experience. Though it's probably for pretty much the same reasons.

Oh, I've seen it happen; fangirls who want to go on the record as not being like 'those crazy yaoi chicks'.

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.

^ 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.

^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.

And for some actual m/m content: Kurama/Hiei and Kurama/Kuwabara.
