Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

Have you people taken your medication? I'm not your GOD. What I say aren't facts, unless you like me that much.


Rainy weather sucks! --> Stated as fact
imo Rainy weather sucks! --> Stated as opinion

But as I said; it doesn't require much common sense to understand what you meant. </offtopic>

@yuri21: According to your nick, you should prefer yuri, no? biggrin cool


Wrong

The statement "The Whether today, according to the weather machine, is rainy at 70 Degree C" is a fact statement.

The statement "The Whether today sucks" is an opinion. Just because you think something sucks doesn't make it a fact. Some people like weather that sucks for you. Only in your opinion does that weather suck.

So When I say, Yuri sucks or Yaoi rocks. It is an opinion.



Call it a flaw in the language or whatever, but we humans know that it is your opinion when you say it like that. If you want to make sure that you state is as an opinion then add an "imo" or "I think" etc. If you don't, it may be interpreted as offencive and/or provoking. Thus biased. And I said you stated it as fact not that it was fact. Please stop this discussion 'cause it's offtopic. And stupid. biggrin cool


Hey man, I'm not that one that brought up this issue. I didn't have any problem untill someone called the comment "Biased". Seriously, people need to learn English better.

@Topic

You can't really battle out between these two since if you generalize this topic, as if you were saying "Guys vs Girls", a very broad type of topic to be discussed.

Yaoi has either girl or gay fans
Yuri has straight guys or lesbians

As a girl, I guess I prefer Yaoi, since what's Yuri for me if I actually have the same body figure? Although most of the time as an artist, I can draw Yuri better than Yaoi for the same reason that I don't "need" to watch Yuri.

For guys, well, it's typical to love Yuri, since it twists the deepest fantasy of guys. 2 hot or cute gals doing it.

Otaku subjects to such genres since the REAL (actual person/reality) pornographic material used for such genres are...Ack! So disgusting! It's just pornography.

gay guys and straight girls will pick yaoi,
gay girls and straight guys will pick yuri.
straight guys will always pick yuri and never yaoi.
straight girls will sometimes pick yuri, and/but usually yaoi.
bisexuals will always pick both.

I didn't know this forum has Yuri fan more than Yaoi fan.^^.
About me, I prefer Yaoi, but I don't dislike Yuri, either.
To be fair, I chose both.

Better make sure you have an escape route when you ask, just in case...

I read both. I'm the type who tries all kind of genres. The more I like, the more I can read is what I aim. And if this was a decade ago and I was still in middle school, and I was introduced to yuri and yaoi and someone asked me this question, I would still say I read both even at that age.

I would even say as far back as grade 5, I would still be able to say I read both if I was introduced to them by someone (I am that kind of person). Although it had to be a very light yuri and yaoi, just holding hands and pecking please. At that age, I would say I would be willing to try yuri first.
