You're amazing.
I think that they pretty much fit, haha. Good job!

Not what I expected when I opened this thread. Good analogies.

wow that is so true!!! nice analogy!!!

but i feel that shounen is more like multi- pizza...i dont really know why but i think it more like that... oh... i get it!!! its like pizza because in every slice there is a certain flavor...

ya know what i mean...-_-"

oh please do click this!

GUESS WHO??

I like the idea of shoujo being like cotton candy. Especially since I tend to classify it (in my mind) by degree of "fluff"...

nice analogies
but i hate every one of those types of candy...

Shoujo melts in your mouth...you can't eat it for long...it's sticky, messy, and changes your tongue color...
Very appropriate
I agree! Nice analogies you got there! 😀

Lalala~

haha, i read this topic and the first thought that came to my mind was "Shoujo is like cotton candy... eat/read to much and you get sick"
but that isnt true (in regards to shoujo at least). So other than that great analogies

ps I cant believe i was the first person to say that. i know you were all thinking it when you read the topic 😉

Quote from funkmu1

I see some josei (smutty) and shonen/seinen (ecchi) as condoms that you repeatedly hit over and over again, and once it breaks you gush into yaoi, yuri, hentai and the other "forbidden fruits"

Was I the only one that found this hilarious and so true. 🤣

@Shredreth- "Shoujo is like cotton candy... eat/read to much and you get sick" 🤣 That was my first thought as well. And it's kinda true too, for me anyway.

Anyway awesome analogies!

Shoujo is indeed cotton candy. Pure sugar.
It will make you wanna puke.
Shoujo will also make you diabetic, so you shouldn't eat much of it.
It's not a problem for me though, since I can't eat a lot of it (the taste is tiring and sweet stuff like that are generally not my thing)

BL is like dark chocolate with dried little fruits in. (like raisins, or cranberries)
You can't have enough, and it's better for your health.

Seinen is like those sour candies. You like to chew them, suck on them, and enjoy them. But after some time you just need to stop.

Josei is like pure bitter chocolate. In order to enjoy it, you must find the prime kind, or else it will taste too bitter.

Shounen is indeed like bubble gum. It's nice at the begining, but it looses its taste soon enough, and you have to spit it out.

Note: All very genral, with no genre taken into account.

Very cute thread btw :3

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.
