Well, once I looked at the results of the previous poll, this question came up in my mind (along with the help of member Zekky). Please answer truthfully.
There isn't much to discuss about this one, so no official forum topic to chat
Note: We did this poll a little over a year ago, and males had won that time...
Previous Poll Results:
Question: Favorite Demographic?
Choices:
Hentai - votes: 1807 (12.1%)
Josei - votes: 616 (4.1%)
Lolicon - votes: 746 (5%)
Seinen - votes: 2364 (15.8%)
Shotacon - votes: 185 (1.2%)
Shoujo - votes: 2684 (18%)
Shoujo Ai - votes: 282 (1.9%)
Shounen - votes: 1921 (12.9%)
Shounen Ai - votes: 516 (3.5%)
Yaoi - votes: 3069 (20.6%)
Yuri - votes: 742 (5%)
There were 14932 total votes.
The poll ended: October 18th 2008
Today is a sad day to die when yaoi wins...(Sorry, but I'm a guy myself, and yaoi = no way). Shoujo came in behind yaoi by about 400 votes, while seinen trailed behind shoujo by about 300...As you can see, the top 2 are mostly targeted toward girls...
Interestingly enough, hentai got a pretty nice percentage.

For shame that yaoi won...
On a side note, though there wasn't a thread, I seem to remember we had this same site poll sometime ago...

Correct, it was a little over a year ago, and males had won that time...

Yeah, I voted for yaoi, but I read everything on that list except lolicon and shotacon, as those make me cringe with disgust (much like men do for yaoi). I'm not picky; a good story is a good story, no matter who it's targeted towards.
It does seem as if MangaUpdates is heading towards yaoi these days though. I have it set to show all yaoi releases in blue, and half my page is blue most days. Hentai in red is giving yaoi a run for its money though! I'm happy in either case.

Even though hentai scored a decent percentage, just think of how many people didn't vote hentai because they were afraid it may make them look like a perv.

But it's an anonymous poll...
(And that reason clearly didn't stop people from voting for yaoi)

Lol, why "I'm a guy myself, and yaoi = no way"?
Guys should explore too+_+
*cough*
Anyways...
Well, as for yaoi winning "yay". But I didn't think it would at first...
The fact that hentai got so many votes is really amusing...
Makes you feel like the majority of people here are pervs and fan-girls.

Believe me, it is sad for us yaoi haters. I'm straight. And why every fan girl wants to see Sesshoumaru reaming every bad guy in Inuyasha is beyond me.
