Yaoi Lovers Unite!!!

[Ningyou]

Dear Mods,

I just wanted to bring something up. I made a thread awhile back asking gay or bi people to share their coming out stories or things like that and it was closed because it had to do with sexual orientation. So..um...why is it okay to have Yaoi/Yuri threads? That's about homosexuality too.

I just didn't think that was fair. If some threads like that are allowed then I don't think it was fair to close mine. Thank you.

Yaoi/Yuri isn't about sexual orientation. It's a genre, such as Shoujo/Shounen.

Threads about sexual orientation are not against the rules because we are anti-gay. They are against the rules because nothing positive ever comes out from them, in the end. People sharing their coming-out stories are exposing themselves to ridicule from our less sensitive and mature members.

Yaoi and yuri are genres of Japanese manga and anime. Sexuality is not necessarily a part of the stories. It would seem odd for a Japanese forum to ban discussion of certain manga genres.

Yes, but Yaoi and Yuri are gay romance stories. I understand it's a genre of manga/anime, but how come that doesn't inspire hate from the immature members of this website?

I understand that the mods have to keep the peace and that's why things like sexual orientation and religion aren't allowed, I was just sort of confused as to why threads like this are allowed.

But thank you for answering my question, I appreciate it :]

Jeez, what's this all about? Do you want this thread to be closed?

[Ningyou]

No, I don't want this thread to be closed. I like Yuri (and a few Yaoi) as well, I just wanted to know why MINE was closed but this stayed open.

I already stated my reasons for saying that, so you don't have to get snappy about it.

Actually, a lot of the time yaoi mangas are a lot more explicit then yaoi animes because of restrictions on what can be shown on tv, etc. But reading is a different experience then watching. But you'll see just as much

Oh, i watched part of okane ga nai. It seemed pretty good to me, but i don't think i've finished it...
