Good evening, folks!
Now, where was I?
...
Ah, yes, the yaoi thing.
Ah, dear readers, I guess you're all wondering why did I decide to write about it in the first place?
Well, aside from the fact that my tumblr is overflowing with yaoi-fangirl-screaming-worth-art and all that kind of crap, it's something new to this our so called culture that became popular among girls between the age of 14 and, well... I have no idea... Until they have their first labour? ... Maybe even after that? God knows.
But, the question is ... Why?
Well, let's rationalise a bit. There are a lot of reasons girls are into yaoi, and it should be acceptable as much as guys that like to see lesbians. I'ts all a tough and complicated net of fetishes et cetera that I'm not intending to talk about, but it's a start. Now I ain't saying that there aren't guys that like yaoi, but, let's be frank, and say that the majority of audience it attracts produces estrogen, not testosterone.
But, for a clearer view at this... Well... Opinion of mine, here's a cute cat that'll explain how the majority of guys see that anime-so-to-say-exibition:
You see, females, as very emotional creatures, find yaoi rather cute.
Weird huh?
Well, basically, being oriented mostly on the emotions and the plot, most of them find it amusing and calming.
And I'm not talking about any anime that has been sadistically turned into a pedo-bdsm-fetish-work-of-art just for the sake of the hungry and aggressive audience, I'm talking about classics.
Plus I gotta admit, some scenes do get kind of hot.
And the characters can be pretty interesting.

| Admit it, you gusta. Just imagine both of the cosplayers are male, too. ;A; |
One fun fact is, that real life gay males aren't as interesting to girls as the ones from anime, because the relationship and the bond they have is far from any yaoi characters. Actually, I doubt there is any kind of couple in the world who would have such a relationship in every aspect of it.
You see, it's all a made up world, where everything works perfectly fine and everybody gets attracted to the poor, cute, adorable, hard to resist his little booty - uke. I't all romantic and fluffy and all lovey-dovey, where the big strong seme saves the day and his ... khm ... damsel in distress. And then does stuff to him. But aside from only that, it substantially contains a lot of romance. And that's why it's popular.
Now when we look at the real world... Well... It's a lot more tough than it seemes, isn't it?
Hence the gay rights, and other shit that's been going on for decades now.
I'm not even going to comment on that...
One way or another, it all comes down to this:
Guys: Yaoi? - LOLNOPE
Girls: Yaoi? - YESOMGYES (Is that Iason I see?)
So that was about it. I just had to share my opinion on this one.
Hope I didn't bore you to death.
Have fun, and yaoi on! (gosh that was an awful pun)
