As a gay guy, I feel like I've been insulted reading some of these posts, especially with how some people classify (homo)sexuality =|
Yaoi is what it is, and typically speaking there's very little western world equivalent, be it aimed at men or women. Some of Joe Phillips' work is about as close as you'll get afaik, stuff from Josman and Tom of Finland is basically cartoon/drawn pornography(not that there's anything wrong with it
) . You might say it's the same for something equivalent to yuri, but let's face it, we're living in a hetero male world (queue various 'omg gays are gross unless it's 2 girls' comments)
The fan world for hentai/yuri and yaoi is really different and you can tell so easily, most yaoi will have a bunch of comments but every hentai page I've seen so far hasn't had a single comment. I just wish there was more yaoi made for guys (not just bara), and that there were more series that lasted longer than 1 volume, it'd make the yaoi genre feel less....shallow for lack of a better term.
sorry if this just ended up being a rant post, was originally just browsing threads for a new title to read
