[QUOTE=Sandy][B]Bloodseeker[/B], when you say something as provocative as you did in this forum, you really need to explain why you think so. Otherwise you'll just look like a ignorant newbie, which you aren't really. (Just a friendly advice.)
I'm gay (well, duh!), but I don't consider myself a yaoi-fan.
Why? Two male manga-characters getting down on each other is [I]hawt[/I], but I really don't like the style of mating a gorgeous, tall-as-a-house popular guy with a short, awkward, big-eyed boy who looks like a girl without boobs. :/
That's just isn't [I]gay[/I], if you get my drift! In my opinion many girls love yaoi (over say gay porn), because the main character is almost always as girlish as them. And the yaoi-girliness is very far from the pretentious, overdone, "pink positive" behaviour that some Western gay guys favor.
My point is, to me yaoi-manga looks very similar to "straight" manga, because the main character could very well be a girl personality- and behaviour-wise - just draw a few more curves at him and voilá! :P
Take Gravitation for an example: in a purely visual and aesthetic p-o-w, I'd be more than happy to see the tall, handsome guys hitting it off with each other, if they'd erase that main character with his huge eyes and dressing-up fetish. Now, of course the main character is crucial to the plot of the manga, and makes it what it is, but does he [I]really[/I] need to be a girl with a wang? 8/[/QUOTE]
Try FAKE.......none of the guys look like girls....ever....there may be some flower petals-floating-past-head action there but no girl look alikes...(excepting J.J who is a little boy and is given that exception..... :animeswea )
Anyway, I digress... check it out.... you'll like it.....I guarantee....
