It's sad but true......you are not the one who is crazy, it's them!.....well.....if you like it....good to you....but if you don't like me....then all that you can do is wait and pray for the next chapter of one of the few mangas that aren't yaoi... 🤢

I put maybe, but what I don't get is why all the series I'm reading aren't being updated 🙁 I'd really love to read a new chapter of Bukiyou na Silent or Honey Boys Spiral!!! >.<

Quote from bully_jesus

maybe yaoi is better than its reputation.

If you read the right ones 😃

it's just that the topic of homosexuality is becoming more open to discussion nowadays.

I totally agree with you 😃
But I also think that it is also because the story plot is good and supported by beautiful arts, what else you need 😀

My main problem with yaoi is that it always gets very... graphic. I think the reason why it is scanlated so often is because it gets liscensed less.

Quote from Decel

But as for its meaning, it's either of two things (or both):
-More gays are reading manga
-More girls are reading manga

It's girls/women. I'm not saying that some guys don't like yaoi, but it's 90% females. Reviews by actual gay people have shown that they go 😕 at yaoi, because it's usually romantic fantasy written by girls, for girls, and doesn't represent anybody's reality.

I personally don't like yaoi. It's way too graphic, most of it has little real plot, and I don't like romance in the first place. Which is a shame, because yes, some of the art is really pretty. But as long as I can filter it out, and as long as the non-yaoi is still coming, I'm all good!

Basically I see it as the manga equivalent of those cheesy , trashy romance novels girls and women like to read. And I've stayed away from those all my life so I'll stay away from these. Also the purchasing power girls have is crazy. So if it's that popular with girls no wonder it's so abundant. Ask yourself in every family who spends the most money on smaller items(exclude big things like cars and stuff)? Yup women do.

It might be a stereotype but like it was said on Raymond "you don't give the wife the credit card " or was it keys to the castle I forget. Oh well girls are scary in terms of market force or something 🙂 Especially teenage girls. They buy so much junk 😀

Lmao. Plot? What plot?

x<-- plot
o<-- me

90% of the time it's PWP.

1 out of 10 series you might find a gem, but that goes for every genre.

I'd post the typical why do women want to see two men doing it, but then it would be shot down when someone brought up the fact that guys like watching two women doing it. That being said Yaoi is one of the two things that disturbs me in my life, the other being Harry Potter.

that's the proof that so many people who likes it (I think mostly are girls)

as for me, I dont really bother with yaoi or yuri, not interested anyway

Oww, the arrows of generalization. 🙂
Actually I would say kids buy the most useless junk. -_-
Hmm, you never know.
But for the main topic, the amount of yaoi and stuff has obviously increased in numbers. I do not really care if there is or isn't any for I am not very fond of the subject.
