So who's a what fan and a what again?

[Aquastorm]

Okay, I've been here for not exactly a long time and my internet's been down for quite bit, so I want to know, who's a what (yaoi/yuri) fan and boy/girl...

^_^

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Male - Yuri

[Plue]

Girl- yuri and yaoi

[dunno001]

*ponders* Wouldn't the currently existing yaoi/yuri thread help with answering this? Either way, I'm a male yaoi fan.

[DazzleKitty]

female yaoi fan.

[DuoInChains]

Female. Yaoi. Why?

[Tsukiko]

Female yaoi and yuri fan, but I like yaoi more.

[typhonblue]

Name. Rank. Press Affiliation.

Typhon. Female. Yaoi.

[Mr. Referee]

Male yaoi fan ^.^

[Aquastorm]

...and I thought I was the ONLY make yaoi fan...all the poeple I know tend to either be females or male homophobes...

[semaj550]

Male yuri fan.

[shezaei_neko]

Female yuri fan.....

[FateDancer]

female yaoi and yuri fan, but yaoi is my favorite of the two.

[Mr. Referee]

...and I thought I was the ONLY make yaoi fan...all the poeple I know tend to either be females or male homophobes...

Nope, guess not :P

[StrawberryLove]

Female - Yaoi & Yuri

[Animematt55]

Male _ mainly yuri, but i like yaoi if it isnt poorly written, and not so 'in your face' (i like subtltry)

[Aquastorm]

It seems that there's girls who actually like yuri and guys who actually like yaoi. Wow, my world just turned...upside down again, and again and again.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Well, I just finished Gravitation today, and yea, the story was good I suppose, but that is the only Yaoi I ever gave a chance. I still didn't like the romances, heh... I couldn't stick to them...and the music was too much in my head, so I couldn't focus. I DID see what happened and all...but yea, Yuri is #1 in my eyes...always will be :) Girls are just....sexier to watch kiss than guys, haha.

[dunno001]

It seems that there's girls who actually like yuri and guys who actually like yaoi. Wow, my world just turned...upside down again, and again and again.
Actually, what surprises me more, is that the numbers here are more balaned than seemingly everywhere else for yaoi fans. I figured it would be about 3-1 female, but I'm told that some other areas are as much as 7 or 8-1 female, which I suppose is more normal, but... I just have these rose-colored glasses. (And being a male, I hate being in such a small sect...)

[Aquastorm]

Suprising really, since I've been to like...20 plus different places and this is the only place where it doesn't feel like I'm a minorty....

[Thedarksenshi]

Male - all shoujo ai and *some* shonen ai

[kittynboi]

Male Yaoi fan.

[kittynboi]

(And being a male, I hate being in such a small sect...)

Just do what I do and take pride in breaking both American AND Japanese social conventions by liking it.

Breaking two sets of taboos is always better than breaking just one.

I LOVE Yuri over Yaoi too, but saying one is greater than another... That brings about fights here...BEWARE O_O.

Yurizoku no hitori...

Female yuri fan... desu.

[Ken-Ohki]

Many men are yuri fanboys, I heard someone's explanation that boys like to see a romance between girls because we don't get jealous of the man in the relationship obviously, and if a girl chooses romance with another girl it doesn't hurt our self preceived masculinity.

Male Yuri fanboy.

I don't subscribe to that explanation. Not every guy is that obssessed with his "masculenity." I like yuri pairings because they are cute, other wise aesthetically pleasing, and the best characters in shows are usually females anyways. Why would you want to ship your favorite character with some male douche-bag who annoys the hell out of you anyways? coughtenchicough. I also think females have more interesting emotions to play with when it comes to romance fiction. It adds entirely new dimensions to it. Guy/girl cliches on the other hand can get boring, especially after you've seen them in everything you have watched and read for your entire life.

male yuri fan

[Yukito Kunisaki]

GLAD to see more Yuri fans. Finally male yuri fans as well as the girls. Seemed alot like 90% of the guys here were of Yaoi and 70% of girls were for Yaoi, glad to see here are more Yuri fans =DD

You have a point. I also think it can be true for female yaoi fans. I believe it is something primal and originates from subconsciousness, can't be helped really.Not saying that its the case for everyone.

[Animematt55]

i dont see too many yuri fanboys. I only see HENTAI fanboys the like the girl-girl scenes....not really a fan of yuri there.

[Dinco]

^Thats the problem people lump they hentai crowd in with the yuri crowd, and that asertion is just ignorant. They definitley need to be sepparated. I mean theres a lot of guy/girl romance shows, but does that imply that people watch them only because they like seeing guy/girl sex? It makes no sense.

[Animematt55]

I have noticed that many yaoi fans fail to admit that there is hentai (porn) in yaoi.

[Shawaazu]

Female yaoi and yuri fan (Though I like yaoi more)

[Ken-Ohki]

I know what you mean animematt. It seems whenever I tell people I'm a yuri fan they instantly think porn. Which is why I prefer telling people I'm a Shoujo-ai fan because for those who know it's the non porn girl love that gets me all giggly.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Yea, I know what you all mean, haha. I hardly see any Yuri Fanboys anymore...which HIGHLY amazes me. Guess that just shows most of us as perverts, but then there are the very few of us who dare not step in that line of fire with Hentai. Hentai....just freaks me out, I don't want to see an animated thingymawut...and like Matt, not a "hardcore" Yuri fan in THAT fashion. I like the cute stuff, just girls loving eachother, there is hardly anything fun in hentai... I will stick with my Shoujo Ai ^_^ *Goes back to Strawberry Panic* =D

[jm_fig]

It all smells fishy to me.

[Jeyl]

I'm a male Yuri fan. Yaoi is ok, but Yuri for me is just so.... beautifull. And besides, I abide to the rules of both logic, physics, and cosmic history that women are superior.

Even I can't argue with that. If only all yuri fans were like you! ^_^

[ZoharContact]

I'm a male Yuri fan. Yaoi is ok, but Yuri for me is just so.... beautifull. And besides, I abide to the rules of both logic, physics, and cosmic history that women are superior.Hee hee... If only it weren't true and the sexes were equal in their greatness. <_< Seriously.

[Jeyl]

Why have equal when you can have.... SUPERIOR!?

[Jeyl]

But seriously. I understand how so many people like Yoai. I actually envy you all out there since you've got like 2-3 manga distributers selling Yoai manga in book stores. If only Yuri had that much attention. But the folks at ALC are sure doing a great job in getting the word out.

But generally, I prefer yuri over yoai simply because I love the female being so much when it comes to love stories. The way they smile, how they talk, how they look when they're together, ect. :huggles:

I'm certain these aspects can apply the same way to Yoai, and that's perfectly legitimate (Except for the "Superior" bit). When it comes down to it, It's all about preference. I just hope we're all happy with what we got.

[ZoharContact]

I'm certain these aspects can apply the same way to Yoai, and that's perfectly legitimate (Except for the "Superior" bit). When it comes down to it, It's all about preference. I just hope we're all happy with what we got.Absolutely. ^_^ Though, I'm sure we'd all be happier with a little more.

When it comes to Yuri, most localizers probably think that the male demographic cannot handle anime that focus on relationships, while they assume that the female demographic isn't interested. And who knows? They may be right (present company excluded), which would be quite unfortunate.

...I hope Kannadzuki no Miko sells well.Why have equal when you can have.... SUPERIOR!?Honestly, I'm not sure people would like me answering that question here. Here's the short version: people often put the female sex on a pedestal and revere it for a few reasons. For example, avoidance of violence, harmony with nature (that one's highly suspect), and being honest with their feelings (again, highly suspect).

It's good that many women have these traits, but it's not good that they're associated with the female sex rather than female enculturation. That's called "essentialism" (EDIT: Actually, I think it was "essentialization." Maybe both apply.) and it often prevents men from exhibiting those traits, lest they be censured as feminine. I think we can agree that problems arise from such a situation. That's one main reason I dislike the notion of "superior."

...Thank goodness, it was actually a short answer. Sorry for being off topic.

[Jeyl]

I didn't mean that women are superior in a sense of story telling. I mean they superior in general. It is women after all who go through the greatest lengths and pains in persuit of life, while it's just a walk in the park for us guys.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Oh god.... lets not get this kind of sexist talk. I honestly see both as equal, but please, lets stay on topic before a fight breaks loose.

[Jeyl]

No! I'm being sexist?!

Too anyone who was offended by my posts I deeply apologize.

[LostCause]

It seems to me that among all kinds of anime fans(don't know about hentai though) we are the ones that cross the line between anime concepts and their real life counterparts most often, myself included. In the debates that is.
Genders are not meant to be equal, they compliment each other, and really are apples and oranges and shouldn't be measured with the same yardstick.
That said; Jeyl, please do go on about female greatness! :P

[Yukito Kunisaki]

No! I'm being sexist?!

Too anyone who was offended by my posts I deeply apologize.

No, its just that some guys might go on saying WHAT? WE are the better ones! or some girls might say that guys are better because of some reasons. Trust me, it could cause a big debate ^_^;

God; Internet is weird.
I think majority of posters don't come looking for trouble, its just that we get carried away and jump the gun sometimes, before thinking it through. We are hot blooded after all.
I still think comparing sexes is wrong, but I do enjoy hearing some of the "arguments".

[Yukito Kunisaki]

True, haha, true ^_^. But sometimes arguements get carried away, and this IS an adult section, so who knows what words might fly =S

[typhonblue]

Men are better.

If I have to choose.

[typhonblue]

Taller, leaner, stronger, sexier, smarter and cooler... Plus they don't have to look in a mirror to get horny.

MEN RULE!

[ZoharContact]

Phew! Looks like it didn't become an argument. I just wanted to interject a thought as peacefully as possible. Arguments are exhausting.Men are better.

If I have to choose.If you wanted my opinion, it's better if you don't choose, but I admit that men were lacking an advocate in the discussion.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Taller, leaner, stronger, sexier, smarter and cooler... Plus they don't have to look in a mirror to get horny.

MEN RULE!

Sometimes, women are the taller ones, sexier ones, ALOT of the times smarter than us xD...etc. I suppose it is a matter of how you look at it, and as I said, this topic...not a cool idea.

[Jeyl]

Only women can be Oprah.

and lets not forgot the endless amounts of body hair, and body odors....
i know quite a few women that are much taller...sexier...smarter (much smarter) and cooler than men.

[DazzleKitty]

And let's not forget the nasty vaginal odors and grotesquely large boobs some women have. Girls can also have body hair, but they choose to shave it -something I think men can learn from. :P

Why are we even arguing which gender is superior? It's obviously a matter of opinion. Neither is better than the other.

[typhonblue]

and lets not forgot the endless amounts of body hair, and body odors....

I think you've mixed up men with the German Woman's Wrestling team.

i know quite a few women that are much taller...sexier...smarter (much smarter) and cooler than men.

Every woman on earth, no matter how tall, is shorter then a man.

As for smarter... I can't help it, I like guy things and you can only listen to a chick drone on and on and on about hair, nails, clothes and her own emotional state for so long.

[ZoharContact]

Why are we even arguing which gender is superior? It's obviously a matter of opinion. Neither is better than the other.Yay! A voice of reason. ^_^Every woman on earth, no matter how tall, is shorter then a man.Taller people see more of the world, and shorter people have more to explore. ^_^As for smarter... I can't help it, I like guy things and you can only listen to a chick drone on and on and on about hair, nails, clothes and her own emotional state for so long.And I have a guy friend who talks. A lot. And when he talks, it's usually about cars. Usually I just smile and nod and say, "Oh, is that so?" (In Japanese, that's called "aidzuchi", and my aidzuchi is perfect.)

However, if he interrupts anime to tell me the weight and acceleration of the Ferrari Enzo, I give him The Eye (tm). <_< Even guys are able to understand my body language.

Edit: Admittedly, though, Azrael over at Outpost Nine has a much more creative gaze attack called Gaijin Optic Blast (http://www.gaijinsmash.net/archives/gaijin_smash.phtml).

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Haha, yea, my friend...when he gets into video games, he gets me out of even wanting to try them. He tried Resident Evil 4, Tales of Symphonia, Devil May Cry...all in which he had his *Show me, tell me* phase to everything @.@. I honestly wanted to try DMC and RE4, but truly, I am bored of them and I have never played them.

See? Guys are like that too, just as Zohar shown, with different subjects :P.

As said by the two above me, can't this stop? O.o... All of us have arms, stomaches, legs, heads.... and we are all human, no need to say who is better. As they say, there will always be someone better than you, be you male or female.

[yaoi_boy87]

male, 18, yaoi fanboy

[Insertnamehere]

Yaoi. By far. Keep girls away from me <.< unless she's a tall muscular knightly handsome woman. But since that doesn't even seem to exist, I'll settle for yaoi.

Oh, and I'm male, though you may not know by looking. ^_~

[Insertnamehere]

Actually I prefer the longer torso. More upper body looks more manly. Legs are good too though, just so long as she'se taller than me ^^; which isn't that hard. Anyone woman who can attain a look like that could easily make my knees weak.(not the cute-boy look though, that annoys the heck out of me *glares at Hana Kimi threateningly*)

i've heard good things about the maria-sama series, but i've never actually gotten around to watching it. has it been licensed or can it still be downloaded?

that was a demented episode, but it was soo much fun. nanami makes a good looking cow.

[Merryl]

I've been into shounen and yaoi for along time ... eh

but the recent slow down on manga that I'm interested in and the virtual stall on Kizuna, and Youka Nitta's novels has left me starving for anything decent to read...

I've been buying shojo manga -_-;

[yaoi_boy87]

cant remember if posted here, so here i go again!

Male-YAOI! wooo go yaoi :)

[badbaby92]

i'm a girl, and i like both yaoi and yuri (more shoujo-ai). it depends on my mood at the time that i prefer which one more.
