Anyone here have any opinions on Yaoi, good or bad, and Yuri?

Yuri!? Where!? Where!?

No one else?

i love 'em both, but i think i like yuri more XD

I dont mine one way or the other.

Yaoi=sucks. has ruined a lot of good shonen series for me by doing OOC pairings that has never belonged in the 1st place and what not. And as for the rest, 4 words: "boku no sexual harassment". Nuff said *shudders*

Yuri=Heh, I like it  :D

I think most guys would like Yuri. I dont think ive seen any Yaoi or Yuri animes.

Well, would Revolutionary Girl Utena be called an Yuri? I own that one.

I love Yaoi!!!~~~~~~~~~~~XD, I can't forget the first Yaoi anime that I saw---"Gravitation" Yuki~~ I love you !!!XD

gravi was pretty good

im ok with yaoi as long as i dont have to see any buckfuttering

I ain't much for teh yaoi, honestly. But the ladies seem to love it.  :lol:

Yup, and I think the boys likely to love yuri more, is that because that's a girl love anime?

Yaoi = 'teh awesome .*__*
Yuri = meh =.\

And teh ladies love teh yaoi bois! XD Even if teh yaoi bois can't love dem back.

I'm with Aya-chan on this one! Yaoi is soooo HOT!

I've had enough bad experiences with yaoi.

Like that one time my female friend "persuaded" me into letting her use my computer to look up yaoi so her dad couldn't catch her.

Or that time the same friend forced me to read some Gundam Wing yaoi fanfiction after I forced her to watch the first episode of original Gundam. ...Now that I look back, I don't think it was an even trade.

Yaoi is the creation of the devil. Plain and simple. But then, that's just my opinion. ^^;

^__^ I looovvee yaoi~~ It's better than yuri XD Why? erm... I dunno... when there's yuri, it feels very associated with hentai, which I hate. Yaoi is just yummy and pretty~~ There's even yaoi-con already in publicity XP

Ah well, the fangirl world loves yaoi, and the fanboy world loves yuri ^^;

Yeah I've never seen either genre's yet, but I do want to see Gravitation due to it's popularity and stuff. So I don't have an opinion as of yet but I will one day heh.

umm i think there is a yuri con too, i love hentai too, whats so bad about hentai >_>

Yeah there isn't anything wrong with it...just don't tell anyone else that.

yeah right. you'll change your mind when you see 2 guys having buttsex. now, what's so pretty and yummy about that? *shudder* if you seriously want to watch that, then go watch gay porn.

Calm down boy, it's ok. People are allowed to have different opinions. Most straight guys are not going to like the idea of two guys together and most strait girls are not going to like the idea or two girls together. One could say that watching two girls make out is gross and if you want to watch taht then you should just go watch lesbian porn. But I think both that and your comment were a bit extream seeing as how there is yaoi and yuri that isn't hentai and doesn't have to do with actual sex.

yaaaaaay yaoi!! *does a Mango dance*

Boyth boyth boyth!!!!!!

But hey! Whutz wrong with buttsex!!  :wink:

N? That certainly didn't change my opinion. X.D I wouldn't watch gay pr0n though... I like bl between anime charas, not real people.

Quote from: "Mango"But hey! Whutz wrong with buttsex!!  :wink:

Absolutely NOTHING! X.DDDD

But yeah, that's just how it is. Girls like yaoi and boys like yuri. *shrug* Nothing seems to bother me too much now but I much prefer yaoi and am not interested in yuri or hentai. The only thing for me is that I don't care if it's animated. I'm not interested if it's real people, noooooo thanks.

Quote from: "GokuMew2"...that's just how it is. Girls like yaoi and boys like yuri. *shrug*

I agree. I haven't seen any yaoi or yuri, but I don't think I'd mind either. teh butsecs in yaoi does make me hesitate a tad though... 0_0

Yaoi boys are really pretty though  :wink:

It's the same thing. I'm sorry to say, but it is, whether animated or live action, it's the same thing.

um, anyways... let's not make this debate ugly, ne? XD I was just merely stating my opinion X3;;

I'll agree with you on that one ^^~ My main interest is yaoi between anime characters.

I'm Hollywood AND Tokyo, bei-bi! Almost like what would happen if Kevin Smith and Shinichiro Watanabe got together for a day of Thai food and a night at the titty bar.

Im obsessed with yaoi. I have an IV by my bed chock full of YAOI. In certain circles my nickname is 801. MY DRUG IS YAOI.
My boyfriend is cool with it too... which is fabulous. He always surprises me with copies of Gravitation before the actual release date <3 aaaah the general blissful sweetness that is shounen ai...
But I must beg to differ on the statement that yaoi is just gay porn, it is NOT. There's an article on it somewhere.. I need topost it here.. but yes, yaoi is a type of homosexual pornography, but honestly, the characteristics of the two are really quite different grrr and im having difficulty locating the site now. But my main point is Yaoi is not just gay porn.. i believe because yoai is primarily created for a female audience when actual gay porn is made for a gay male audience...there are different tactics you use...
But then again arguably yuri is not just lesbian porn etc etc.

*goes off whistling*

yeah, out of character and out of canon pairings that make no sense whatsoever. Because of this, a lot of good shonen anime and you know which ones i'm talking about, got ruined. Just because it emphasizes on teamwork, going over one's obstacles, being true to yourself, being a really good friend to another male character or being rivals, doesn't imply that they are in love or any of that stuff. Naruto got ruined, Gundam Wing got ruined, Hell, even Full Metal Alchemist got ruined because of this. Seiously, on FMA, Al and Ed are 14-16 year old kids and one of my friends told me that these RABID Yaoi fangirls made Ed and Col.Mustang lovers. Excuuse Meee...isn't that child porn and in  various part of the world, illegal? God, It makes me want to take a shotgun out and go after these Yaoi fangirls. Now, the next series that already has been butchered is Gundam Seed. Excuse me, just because these guys are rivals/teammates and is stated that they have female partners, they are in no way in love with each other. Out of Character and Out of Canon pairings are the worst.  I'm sorry to say this, but it's true. I've said my piece.  :twisted:

Lucky for you I'm quite selective when it comes to pairings. .^_~ I don't just slash anybody with anyone. And unlike most people, shota doesn't really suit my tastes. (Though the charas in Tenipuri are techinically shota but they don't look it so Nya~ *sticks out tongue*

And about it being the same when irl or animated, well... I don't really think so cuz... One is with real people and one isn't. .^^; But that's just what I think. *shrug*

I wish there was still a Yuri-con.. Yuri-con was a one time only thing..

I should start a new Yuri-con.. Despite those who had the ONE still hold the name for their self-made manga type stuff...

Why is it ruined for you? Why can't you still enjoy all the old stuff as what it ment to you and ignore what a bunch of "RABID Yaoi fangirls" decided it ment to them?

Do you really think that your way is the right way and if it's not what you like it is wrong?

Quote from: "fuzzyfaery"how bout female/male

Whoa! Not that I'm saying that that is wrong but this conversation has officially gotten a little too grown up for this board. There are kids that come here and read this and I just don't think it's the place to start talking about this kind of thing in this much detail.

Actually, Gundam Wing has no official pairings.  The author himself stated he never wrote it with anyone in mind for anyone else.  In fact, in an interview, he was told about people writing Quatre and Trowa as a couple.  He laughed and said that if they wanted to see that, it was fine with him, but he hadn't written anyone to be paired with anyone else.

felicity869: what are you? net nanny?

the words i said were "female" "male" "i.e." "strap-on"
im assuming you know what "she has a" means
how is that grown up? did you not pick up those words til you were 18?

Forgot one other thing, there are plenty of rabid fangirls on all sides of the series.  Plenty of times, rabid hentai fangirls will pair Trowa with Catherine...which is gross as that's his sister.  Or Ed with the girl who repairs his arm...forgot her name.  Should this pairing be acceptable because it is a guy and a girl?  It has the same age objection.  

If you don't like a certain kind of story or merchandise, why not avoid it?  I find almost all hentai dull as heck.  A few series are fun, but I've found most aren't something I enjoy.  Solution:  I don't watch, read, etc. hentai.  Of course, if a friend recommends it, I'll give the title a shot.  But normally, I just don't go there.  I wouldn't tell my friends they're wrong for liking hentai or even yuri.  It's not my thing and I leave it at that.  They give me the same respect.  

And why should someone writing Relena and Heero be a bother? Or Heero and Duo?  Kakashi and Iruka?  Or...heck...name a fictional pairing.  I know the story is pure fantasy.  So are many hentai, yaoi, and yuri fics, pics, etc.  It doesn't detract from my enjoying the series and I can't understand why it should.  If I don't like that sort of thing, I just don't read it, watch it, or buy it.

No, I'm not net nanny and I'm not a mod of the board. I was just saying that I thought the conversation in general had gotten a little too grown up for this board. I know that a lot of kids come on here as young at 10 years old. Personally I don't think talking about stap-ons and anal sex is something that they should be reading. Did you know what a stap-on was when you were in 5th grade? Should these kids?

hmm..do you know who the original creator of Gundam is? It's Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. Masahi Ikeda, who directed Gundam Wing and Katsuyuki Sumisawa who wrote the screenplays, actually ripped it off from the UC Gundam storyline, since it's ultracompressed into one single year. If you look at the anime closely, look for references that were used and taken from UC Gundam. If you don't get them, watch the UC stuff. It's a lot better than the Gundam Wang :p

Actually, all the Gundam series seem interconnected.  Not by universe, but all seem to have elements or references to at least 1 Gundam series.  It's been a while since I watched them though.  Picked up Gundam Seed but haven't watched it yet.  Was too busy with B'tX and Hundred Stories...not mention keeping up with Naruto and One Piece.  Sigh, so much anime, so little time.  Naruto has a movie out this summer!  And One Piece movie 5 was incredible.  0083 and Wing have my favorite music from all the series, however.

I'll go back and rewatch the series again.  I shouldn't let all the new pretties keep me from forgetting the awesome place they came from.  Thank you for reminding me!  Sigh, not going to get any sleep this weekend.   :lol:

Quote from: "RyuDOA2Hayabusa"hmm..do you know who the original creator of Gundam is? It's Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

That's Yoshiyuki Tomino who did Gundam. Sadamoto's a character designer for Gainax.

I knew my supplies were dwindling way too rapidly these days. XD

ryuunosuke Ayanami~ i didn't know yuri-con was just a one time thing! I remember visiting the website a couple of times, but i couldn't go to it, cause i think it was somewhere in the east? correct me if im wrong.

It would be cool if there was another one that started up, but damn i wouldn't be able to go until next year when im 18. but then again i doubt we could have a running con finished within a year XD i would love to attend it

...i think it was in new jersey... youre never ever getting me back there again.

I'm alright with yaoi, as long as it's done tastefully.  Many times, yaoi pairings feel entirely too forced.  If I can't find a reason why the two are paired, then chances are, it's entirely too forced and it rubs me the wrong way.  It's service to the girls and, being a straight guy, I won't appreciate it for its shallow appeal.

Well, Turn A supposedly makes the assumptions that all Gundam series are interconnected, but from Mark Simmon(he's the head webmaster of gundamofficial.com ):

QuoteIs there more than one Gundam world?

Yes. At first, every sequel to the original Mobile Suit Gundam story took place in the same setting, a futuristic space age called the Universal Century. However, with the release of Mobile Fighter G Gundam in 1994, the creators began introducing new worlds - parallel universes, one might say - with their own characters, histories, technologies, and calendar systems. Each of these new worlds is a self-contained setting with no real ties to the Universal Century history, linked only by certain common themes and the recurring motif of the heroic Gundam mobile suit.

At present, six Gundam worlds have been featured in the animated stories, which we can classify according to the calendar systems they use. In addition to the original Universal Century, we have G Gundam's Future Century and the After Colony setting used in Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz. Gundam X uses the After War calendar, while Gundam Seed, the latest Gundam show, introduces a new world based on the Cosmic Era calendars.

The sixth of these worlds is the distant future of Turn A Gundam, a recent sequel which complicates the picture by suggesting that all these Gundam worlds are just different eras in a future history which spans thousands of years. But for all practical purposes, we can regard these worlds as parallel universes, whose inhabitants know nothing of the events of the other stories - which means the viewer doesn't have to know anything about them either.

there you have it. :D

Yaoi vs. gay porn.

AHHH my eyes! *eyes begin to bleed profusely*

i have nothing against the gay part of it at all, it is just that i am not a pervert, (not saying that all of you are, but you know what i mean) and i do not like to look at that kind of thing. ^^

ok.. Im changeing my vote about Yaoi.   F-ING YAOI take all our women away saturday night! F-YOU YAOI!!!

Quote from: "swordofthebezerk"AHHH my eyes! *eyes begin to bleed profusely*

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *falls on the floor cackling*

YAOI! YAY! Yaoi makes the world go round. Mmmmmmmmm.... CORN!

I love yaoi...and I am a lesbian... does anybody find that odd? I love yuri too...

...No het for me. Give me yaoi (and yuri) in large doses and I am a happy llama.

muahaha yaoi scares teh guys, well not all guys, but it's still funny XD

yes bring on the yuri and yaoi w00t!

Quote from: "DayDreamerNessa"muahaha yaoi scares teh guys, well not all guys, but it's still funny XD

Thats because most of us are not gay.

Actually, there are many straight pairings that seem forced to me.  Especially in video games.  You play up to half the game and they are just friends and companions, nothing more...and that is made very clear...then you suddenly hit 50% of the game and BAM....they're in love.  WTH?

And why does Ranma stay with Akane?  Talk about abusive relationships.  Yeah, yeah, comedy...but she still treats him very poorly and he's always running around risking his life for her.  Sigh.  Seems ridiculous.  Had to stop watching the series.  

Sure, there are straight pairings that make sense.  Tenchi and Ryoko...did I spell her name right?  This is one of my favorites.  

And as for why men don't like yaoi....it's a very complex psychological question.  Many theories exist...including one that claims gay men threaten straight men's ideas about their sexuality.  Others feel it makes men uncomfortable to think about men being submissive or allowing another to be the one with the power.  Another group of thought is that all people are born bisexual and we are trained from birth to only like one group and think of the other as unacceptable.  And those are just the TIP of the iceberb.  Plenty of study has been done about why people enjoy yaoi, yuri, hentai,  or dislike it.  Of course, none of the studies...except the hentai one....get much press.  You really have to look to find the studies and results.  And be warned, many of the studies about yaoi are done by men and sometimes their results are insulting and degrading...and skewed if you look at their research methods.

Err sorry, too much yuri and hentai watching at fanime. =^-^=

Too bad you were too young nessa. You would of enjoyed the room at night. Funny as heck!

Yeah especially since both myself and Drall were on a roll. Him with his projection shadow play and my random comments we didn't do too bad haha. There is always next year, I had to wait for this year cuz last year I was only 1 year short so yeah I was "pumped up" XD for the Hentai Room.

...you  know, there ARE reasons why i got drill sargeant on my career aptitude test and why my economics classmates dubbed me "Misstress of the Night" ;-)

Your poll is flawed.  You can't put yaoi and yuri together . they are two different genres.

really ?

could someone explain briefly how yaoi and yuri genres differ ?

i really dont know much about this, so im open to learn whats up with this " interesting " part of the anime sub-genre....

( i know im gonna get into trouble for asking... )  :roll:

yaoi=guy on guy anime

yuri=girl on girl anime

Everyone seems to think that it's all full of sex thought but unless it's hentai it's not. They could just have crushes on each other, cuddle now and again or have a normal realtionship, it's not just a bunch of porn.

Originally, yaoi and yuri actually did mean there would be sex.  The terms used for just people in love were Shounen Ai and Shoujo Ai.  (Hope I didn't mangle the words too badly.)  However, here as in Japan, yaoi and yuri are becoming catch all phrases.  IE...everything having to do with 2 guys gets lumped in with yaoi and the same for yuri.  

You can't go into too many manga stores and ask for the shounen ai section....they'll just lead you to the yaoi section.  Same with doujinshi stores.  I guess it's just easier to lump them together.  But it makes it harder to shop if  you just looking for something sweet and romantic.

thanks for the heads up!  :D

i guess the only question is now...

Does that mean ppl will stare at me or judge me if I decide to goto Yaoi Con ???

and yes, for the record I am, a Heterosexual Male...

just curious about Yaoi... ( BUT NOT IN THAT RESPECT !!!! )  :roll:

its bad enough that due to a lack of girlfriend... EVEN MY OWN FATHER HAS HIS DOUBTS ABOUT ME...  :cry:

Goodness no.  My ex-boyfriend is a career military man and wanted to go.  He got sent off to do something that weekend and couldn't make it.  But questioned me about every second and wants to attend this year...but they shipped him to Maine.  He's still asking for leave that weekend though.  

I've never seen the women at Y-con treating any attending male poorly.  Usually, men get a bit drooled over.  But don't let that scare you.  If you're uncomfortable with women adoring you, just say so.  They'll back off.   :)

Honestly, Y-con is meant to be a fun convention and all over 18 are welcome.  A variety of items are sold in the dealer's room, including stuff guys might like.  In general, the people are respectful and fun.  (But you know a couple of jerks have to attend every convention.  Do you think the jerks of the world have some sort of organization that assigns members to different fun places?   :wink: )  I bring several men with me every year and every year they have come home and convince more to go the next year.  There are about 10 different guys trying to get time off their jobs and save up money to attend this year's....and I started with just 1 guy.

I like both, but i'd say my favorite is yaoi.

haha this is an amusing thread. ^^;; I like both. Yui and Yaoi are grea tin their own ways. ^^ I probably own my yaoi then yuri thought because more exists or i can find more of it then I can find yuri ^^;  Plus most of the yuri out there is pretted well, over exaggerated! I mean come on girls don't have boobs THAT big! --

But don't mind either ^^

Also, a lot of straight guys i know go to yaoi-con just cause it's a con and we get to hang with friends ^^' Some guys that went i think got free hentai too o.O

I am a yaoi fan. yes. ^_^... I don't care much for yuri though..but I'm not like uberly anti-yuri that I would call anyone who likes yuri a freak! *cough*unlike some of you anti-yaoi's but into yuri ppl*cough*

I like yaoi cuz I think it's cute when two boys find out that they like each other and get freaked out! ^^~

I dislike yuri because I tried it once and it didn't appeal to me. I'm an absolute fan of yaoi, however, and have been to two Yaoi-cons so far (attending for the third time this year). Wonder if I should thank the friend of mine who got me into it or what . . .

for the love of god, this thread should've been dead, so I say:

SAGE!!!

Guess that means that assuming about something doesn't mean it truely is so.
