Sorry, meant - Thumbs up!!
To be honest I have seen women being like that not only in yaoi, but also in Shoujo, Shounen, yuri, etc...
I began to ask people if women were really like that there, not really according them... is like the mexican's Telenovelas, women in those soap operas are the worst but is not 100% reality...
Something they told me is that women in Japan search future husbands very young and they are very competitive (not as these manga level), because they have an "age limit" to get married and the society expect they get married and have children.
true, a lot of them are like that but not always. I really like when they're allies instead too.
I guess it depends on the pov of the person lol like I have some friends who are really snakey and think they can turn gay men straight and they get really angry and bitchy when they don't get their way :/
Nah, no way. I'm gynophobia and yaoi mangas are my only escape, please don't ruin people with ur stupid demands, there are plenty of mangas with 'good' females supporting the gay couple, just go read those. I can recommend u a few if u want to
I agree but they do that in shojo manga too and I'm like wuuuut?
Japan ranks pretty low when it comes to gender equality. I think that might have something to do with it. Some might just have a poor view of women.
Dude then you should read Scarlet Beriko's stuff. Her female characters are so cool.
Watch "together with me series" it's a sexy boys love drama. And there's this amazing girl that basically helps them out and hooks them up. She's an amazing woman, who really cares for her friends.
Yep, I consider her one of the notable exceptions.
YES!!
With a few notable exceptions, all the women in yaoi are either:
A. Psychos
B. Total Bitches
C. Complete freaks
D. Old grannies
I love reading yaoi, but I wish the stories included more normal women and girls.
It's almost like the authors figure the female characters need to be really awful in order to explain why two men would get together.
Personally, I enjoy yaoi stories more when they include cool, kind, intelligent, and attractive women, even if they sometimes get their hearts broken. ☹
