I was horrified by the yaoi pictures that my sister and I found when we were first introduced to the internet and started looking up anime straight away. Those pictures were from Slam Dunk, and we couldn't believe it. We read the comics, watched the anime, and there was no way known that Sendoh and Rukawa could make a couple. For goodness sakes, must people pervert rivalry into some sort of yaoi relationship?
Over the years, I don't say anything about 'couplings' - people do what they want with the story. It never ceases to amaze me how many people think that Kurama and Hiei belong together, but that's their business.
The only yaoi couple that I find acceptable is HisokaxIllumi from Hunter x Hunter - I thought it was almost inevitable the first time I ever same them together (not to mention the fact I thought Illumi was a girl before Killua called him brother). Other than that, I see not even the most remote possibility of couplings with any other anime character.
My own strange phenomenon aside, what do you guys think of yaoi fanfics and male couplings in general?

What I think of yaoi: EWW!!
Ok, I'm not really against it or anything, but I just don't think it's normal to pair up two boys together - in a romantic way. Not that I like it, I do support HisoIllu coz somehow they don't look weird together. ^^;; What I really dislike is having my fav. bishi paired up with those characters I don't like, and when two children (e.g.:Gon x Killua) are paired together. >_<

Well, I can think of dozens. ;D Yaoi and Yuri! hehe And you know what. Personally, I can see why some fans paired Gon and Killua! XD I find them tolerable to some extent. But then, I barely read lemons so...  In my personal opinion, shonen-ai and shojo-ai is better bcoz it doesn't have sexual content. At least it's not supposed to. ^^; |

To me, Yaoi is OK to some extend ^^;; I don't like Yaoi-lemon...makes me sick Gahhh >< With the Illumi/Hisoka thing, well there's not much evidence that they are gay ^^;; and Illumi doesn't seem like the type to be gay or even to have romance hahaha, and Hisoka...Hisoka scares me haha but he has feelings for Machi even though I think it's just lust ^^;; But in the other hand, Illumi and Hisoka make a great pair  No offence to Japanese, but most of the Japanese manga authors are HENTAI!! Big yucky pervets! lol And they love yaoi and yuri alot but mostly yaoi. You should check out some HXH doujinshi, go to the hxh section on this board and you'll find the thread I posted up 'Hxh Doujinshi' All of them are yaoi, I nearly ripped my screen off when I saw Hisoka kissing Gon and Killua >< BUt there was a very cute one of Gon and Killua...kissing ^^;; I can't help it!! That pic just looked so cute! There was a few random pages of Illumi/Hisoka and Hisoka/Kuroro ^^ And heaps of Leorio/Kurapika GAHHHH!!! I wonder if anyone made a Machi/Kuroro fic  I reckon they'll make a good couple  I would luv to write one but my brain is empty of ideas ^^;; At first I could NOT accept Yaoi NOT at all, i was just so freaked out ^^;; first time I saw a yaoi-fic I was so upset I sent a email to the author and flamed the shit out of him haahaha. But now, I'm just used to it |

(Hey, Yomi-san knows my fave anime too! Yay!) ;D

;D How can I NOT know Slam Dunk? It was one of the very first comics that I could read in Chinese because Sakuragi's lines were always so simple. And it was one of the first sports manga that I read as well. I loved it to pieces, and compared to Prince of Tennis, I think the author does a much better job with the team members than the tennis one. Well.....doujinshi of that type are inevitable (I actually want to read a HisoxIllu one!) and I don't want this to turn into a yaoi-hating/bashing thread so you know, what people do and think is their right - at least it's only imaginary characters bonking each other. But I can't believe it! This forum doesn't seem to be swamped with yaoi fangirls. Wow - there are still areas of resistance after all then.  You didn't respect their freedom of expression?! Or maybe I'm just being politically correct...but I don't think so. For example - why do people keep pairing Kurama and Hiei together? --> because the anime drawers deliberately put in ambiguous scenes during the anime. Why do people like to pair Leorio and Kurapika together? --> Go look at the end of episode 62 and tell me that the drawers aren't trying to bait the fangirls. Lots of scenes are deliberately anonymous - even if you're thinking completely straight. Even Togashi himself almost did it with Killua and Gon in the 2nd OVA - whilst most of us could choose to interpret Killua's words innocently ("I'm so glad I have you Gon"), I cannot refute that it could easily be interpreted with some other meaning. Well - apparently yaoi fandom is huge, so it's a way of drawing the fans I guess. You don't think Hisoka and Illumi don't show possibilities of being together? This girl put it very well - and it's in Chinese as well: dang...can't find the addy right now - will patch it to you later  Hisoka, gay? He's such a flippant and unpredictable character that I say he could easily be bi. Illumi - frankly, he's just a minor character who nobody knows much about and contains a lot of speculation, that's why it's so much fun to play with the minor characters Yomi |

Hehe, I know. My sis freaked out when she checked this board out (she's a hardcore fan of yaoi). I felt a bit queer here once becoz I was the only "corrupted" one here.....LOL!
But everyone has their own opinions anyway. ^^

No - I just find it surprising because yaoi seems to be everywhere. You have 2 boys in an anime? There's bound to be a yaoi fanfic on it somewhere.
The most amusing is YYH - especially the Chinese ones. After all these years, there's still fanfiction (which is just simply amazing), but because the pairing's getting old, the new ones that people come up with really make me gasp and wheeze in shock.
Kuwabara x Hiei?! OMG?!?! Lol lol - well, you know when people get desperate and want to be original or just try something new - that's what you get - something hilarious and shocking at the same time. I'm sorry, but whilst I laugh, the idea of Kuwabara and Hiei makes me want to barf, lol.
That's kinda starting to happen to HxH with those wierd Feitan x Phinx pairings - and in the jap pages (I just flick through for fanarts sometimes), it's Feitan x Kuroro?! WT?!?!? Lol!

Yuusuke x Kurama Gees...that was when the Kurama x Hiei pairing was getting old and people were starting to look for something new. There's this site that has a collection of YYH doujins scanned (aethiesm.net or something?) and it featured Yuusuke x Kuwabara (  ) as a couple with Kuwabara dressed in a school girl's sailor outfit (it was chibi, but it was still disturbing). Hmmm....that's just a PWP (plot? What plot?) lemon fic - so of course it's going to have a lot of sex and OOCness dear. As to whether you find the act of sex between two men disgusting - that's your opinion. Frankly, a lot of chinese HisoxIllu lemon fics are like that - basically, there's one paragraph about how they meet (or how Hisoka catches Illumi) and bam - straight into bed. But hey, some are written well, so I'm not complaining. When you read lemon fics, or when *I* read lemon fics, I know not to expect plot or in-characterness. Double plus if they DO have it, but if they don't, it's still got Hisoka and Illumi so I'm cool. Yomi |
