What do bạn think when bạn hear the word "yaoi?" Do bạn even know what's yaoi? Well, for those who don't, here's a simple definition: it's boys love. Yes, boys love.
Many people discriminate this as "disgusting" hoặc "revolting", but then again that is what the term "fujoshi" means: a rotten woman. Anyways, back to he point!
Yaoi has been aound for some time, getting publicity from mostly người hâm mộ girls and some boys. People will usually think "Why like yaoi?" hoặc even just eliminate the idea that they will ever like yaoi. But actually, Yaoi is just thêm than hình ảnh hiển thị two boys. When bạn really think about it, Yaoi is hiển thị the freedom of love, setting an example that tình yêu has no boundaries. In most cases, tình yêu with two of the same gender is weird, abnormal, discriminating, and some even believe it's crazy. But it's actually nice to know that there's people out there who don't follow the rules of just making straight couples, which most mangas and animes do.
How many animes/mangas can bạn name with Yaoi couples? How many can bạn name with straight couples? Can bạn see a difference?
Just like yaoi, there's also girls love, hoặc yuri. This is thêm được ưa chuộng with males, but also females. When bạn think of a male liking yaoi, hoặc a female liking yuri, bạn probably would believe they're gay hoặc lesbain. Surprisingly, there is people out there who are straight and watch manga hoặc anime with couples of the same gender.
So why do people still discriminate hoặc talk about those who like Yaoi and Yaoi itself?
They just don't see eye-to-eye like others. Yes, there will be people who will go against many things, but it's better if they are left alone.
My point is, there is nothing wrong about liking Yaoi hoặc for people liking yaoi. People who are anti-yaoi, accept it. People who like yaoi, keep doing your thing. So don't let anyone ruin your fun and happiness, your fangirl squeals, loving the fanservice, whatever bạn like, enjoy it. We live in a judgemental world with judgemental people, but that's doesn't mean bạn gotta be one.
So go out there and read your yaoi! We'll be right behind you, doing the same exact thing my friend.
