Oho no. I can barely stomach anime at the best of times, but this just seems more brain-rendingly awful by several magnitudes than anything else I've had the misfortune to watch.
Do you like Yaoi? (Not a pedo thread)

No, for I am a man! A manly man who shits rocks and kills gorillas with his BARE DAMN HANDS! Seriously though, it's just not my thing, seeing as I'm heterosexual.
Well being a straight dude, you can probably guess whether or not I "appreciate" it like it's meant to be. My overall view is "Eh, if it's your thing". Some people like it and I'm not going to slander them because of it. I won't say I'm a big fan of Yuri, but that's probably due to my lack of consuming anime/manga. I'm sure there are people out there who get an unhealthy fixations with certain aspects about it, especially on the fanfiction side (just like everything else), but I'm not going to judge a whole subject just because of of it's fans are a bit eccentric. That would be incrediably hypocritical of me.
Whatever floats your boat.
Note: Why did you have to point out that Yaoi isn't pedo? I could see if you were discussing lolicon, but anyone who knows what yaoi is (or even just read the first post) would know it has nothing to do with it. Sure, you're not incorrect; but it's the title equivalent of saying 8x + 9 + 0. It's somewhat unnecessary.

That's because that video is freaking awesome.Aethren said:
I'm don't mind it if it's done well, but I got bored of looking for good ones ages ago, and also I've run out of bleach to clean my brain with and I don't want to risk it. Sometimes fanfic writers can be strange. very strange.
Yup, that pretty much says it...MagicMouse said:
But seriously, I avoid yaoi, as a straight guy would (on principle)... I only like yaoi when it's inserted into a plot for the sake of parody.
Plenty of people who are fans of yaoi would agree with you. Those who don't agree are probably just not thinking about it or analysing it properly, which is not commendable but also not that surprising given that there's a massive amount of young teenagers within the yaoi community. The point is though, the genre itself doesn't *insist* on forcing those roles; the only necessary characteristic which makes something yaoi is the involvement of a male/male pairing. That aspect you've mentioned is definitely prominent, and almost every anime/manga based officially around yaoi does it - but (ironically, perhaps) for series in which the yaoi element is fandom-based it can be done much better. (Emphasis on "can"; some of fandom is just as bad.)Dags90 said:
I'm slightly strange, or at last assume I am, as I prefer homosexual sex ( for both genders) than I do heterosexual sex. As such I really quite enjoy both yuri and yaoi.
As a typical(?) male:
Girl with Boy = Boring
Girl with Girl = Beautiful [small](and kind of hot)[/small]. Makes me feel like humanity is ultimately a good thing.
Boy with Boy = Sure, why not.
Boy with Boy who looks like a girl = Sure, why not +1
Intersexed Girl with Boy/Girl = NOW WE'RE TALKING.

What if the official work includes it?Daystar Clarion said:
I'm not gay, so not my thing. If people enjoy though fine, I certainly won't stop them.
