Personally, I don't think hermaphrodite should be frowned upon, It just people classified that word is bad. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Just like how people classified others as "white" and "colored," when skin pigments does not classify your race/other stuffs....so use the word however you like. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
So do I... But I saw someone writing in every post that it was "intersexual and not hermaphrodite" (I was just trolling lol)
I suppose there is a slight difference tho, since both words exist but I don't know what it is ^^'
I saw their post about it too but to me, they're just being a butt hurt because they cannot handle a word...just like I mentioned earlier, our brain like to sort things to category like shapes, sizes, races, colors. And because of us still categorized it, that's why we still have issues and discrimination, so that person should be quiet and let people use how they want....just my opinion though. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Bit of research never hurt anyone.
Oh, thank you very much! It's clearer in my head now ;)
it's yaoi because the character obviously seems to identify as a male. just because he has both a vagina and a penis doesn't mean he's both genders, if he himself feels more so that he's a man then that's fine. You're trying to be fair, but you realize that your genitalia doesn't really match with your gender identity right. -_- If he feels that he is a man, then so be it, a man in this case can get pregnant, so he gets to choose what he wants to be. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I saw a lot of people getting angry that this is tagged yaoi because the character happens to have a vagina, but I mean, am I the only one who was disturbed by the fact that this was basically a rape? (not saying that because he also has female genitalia, it's the same either way)
Anyways I do appreciate to see an intersexual character (yes I also learnt today that saying "hermaphrodite" was considered bad).
