    I like yaoi. I found it when I was going through a very bad time and have been reading it for half of my life already. I do admit that now that it's gotten very popular (In my country, which is slighly on the conservative side, there have been legitimate publishing companies who have set up imprints dedicated to publishing materials from the genre), it makes me slighly uncomfortable to see so many fans who only focus on it for the xxx parts :notlikeblob:

    I'm at the level where I can accept it if one of them is a trap/feminine looking.

    It’s alright, but only on the condition that the story cannot be told with just a straight couple. Like, I keep seeing novels which have titles like “my wife is pregnant” or something, and in fact it is some bs kakyoin did you lay this egg situation or whatever or something. Or the plot (from reading the synopsis) just feels forced, like some Stone Age survival story but for some reason the alpha male guy falls in love with another man in a survival of the fittest natural selection society

    Yeah, I even read some and enjoyed them, but most I just stay away from as far as possible

    Where is the "I love yaoi" option? Haha! I am one of those few who filter releases to yaoi and shounen-ai only.
