The fujoshis here are always making me facepalm. Really the most disgusting fandom on the net. Male yuri fanboys can be annoying too, but they're nowhere as depraved and much easier to avoid (just look at this poll).

________________

i thought that i have read more shoujo, but after counting i really do read more shounen which surprised me. the reason i got mixed up was probably because my favorite mangas are the shoujo with male leads so i think about them more often then others.

Like educational manga? take a look at Ed U. Manga's list of manga here

Shoujo of course, the only genre for me that sends me on an emotional roller coaster lol

Hey, no need to be insulting. I don't like ecchi and boob/panty shots (and trust me, this appears in about 70% of shonen stuff I've read/seen), but you don't see me hating on the people who like that stuff.

WOW. Yaoi is seriously holding its second place position (no pun intended)

Shounen getting first, no surprise there

That said, the poll is stupid as hell. Half the options aren't even demographics.

I'm not saying I disagree with you, but panty shots in shounen manga have no relevance with that. Shiratori didn't say whether he likes or dislikes yaoi or yuri. The subject was the fandom, not the genre.

@Vu2010:
stop insulting members, reported...
didn't I tell you this before?

@ 狂気:
well, the "fandom" of shounen are mostly kids in their teens and most kids I see nowadays are more disgusting and loud than fujoshis ever could be, though it is a broader spectrum in general, I don't see fujoshi fandom in any way annoying as they don't propagate or something like that, though you see bleach/op/naruto/ft/etc. fanboys/girls raging all over the net.
if you don't like something, quiet "fandoms" are way nicer.

@shiratori:
In what way did you encounter more of that fandom here? If you browse through the yaoi section that is your choice, there is a reason that those are initially kept from the news page (yaoi, yuri, 18+).
the only things I EVER encounter are yaoi requests in the looking for section, though they are not the only ones that make mistakes (and the threads are moved after some time anyway)...

I only criticised that illogical reasoning. Personally, I'm not bothered by either. It depends where you hang out. Most people who I know that are particular about shounen manga are adult men. Then again, I don't really know any teenagers. But I do understand both of your points of view. Most every fandom is nerve-wrecking if spent too much time around with, unless you're part of them (or perhaps even then).


Half his posts were like that. Banhammer has spoken.

I thought it pretty obvious they hated yaoi and yuri. I'm a huge yaoi fan and I really object to be called "disgusting." If they can't show any respect for the fandom, what respect do you expect them to have towards the genre?

However you like to view it. However base shiratori's comment was, SilverStorm failed to make a point. That was all I meant. I don't like either genre but I don't especially dislike them either, and I do respect the works on individual basis no matter if they're yaoi/yuri. Your objection is valid. I don't see your assumptions holding any relevance either though.

In terms of sheer time spent reading I'd have to choose shounen, I read a crapload of it when I was a kid just because it was the demographic that tended to be translated and sold in bookstores. In terms of what I prefer to read though, I don't really judge a series by what it's tagged as, I'll read anything with a decent story.

@ Everybody arguing over yaoi fangirls
I actually am not a fan of manga or how it is perceived because of genres like hentai, yaoi, lolicon and so on., though I have a great respect for authors who use manga as a proper storytelling/artistic medium.

I don't feel comfortable expressing strong dislike for yaoi because I might seem homophobic, but the reason I dislike the genre is because most of it is fetishized, disrespectful representations of homosexual relationships. It can be equated to the distasteful lesbian/underage girl fetish certain grown men have.

I try to respect other people's opinions, but yaoi fangirl =/= lgbt enthusiast. IMO, when a yaoi fangirl supports gay rights, it's questionable whether they actually care or if it's because they jerk off to gay animu people.

Granted, I posted this to provoke a response, but that doesn't make me hate the yaoi fandom (and the genre) any less.



I encounter them in threads like this, that's already too much for me. And since you mentioned it, the yaoi/yuri section should really be split. I feel bad for the yuri readers who have to put up with all the garbage in that section.
