As a gay guy, I don't really care if straight people do or don't read yaoi, bara, etc
Yes these stories can have certain problematic elements such as romanticising rape, but as long as you have enough sense to differ fiction from reality just go for it 3 reply
After watching yuri on ice,given and banana fish I was interested in bl so I came here 6 months back and got into shounen ai and yaoi and now I’m a full fledged fujoshi and I regret NOTHING! reply
tell them to mind their own business. Yaoi isn't problematic, it's the fans that make it problematic. Yaoi does encourage people to fetishize gay people, but people need to realize that gay couples aren't goddamn objects. If you stay in your lane, you'll be good. Don't let people tell you to stop doing the things that make you happy. 1 reply

I first accidentally found abt shoujo ai when I was looking for shoujo to read and really liked bloom into you. Then came yuri and then shounen ai and then yaoi. Am i the only one who found gl before bl reply
my older sister she showed me shounen ai then like a month after showing me that, i saw yaoi and now its an addiction. i've had the addiction for 7 years now and i show no signs of recovery 1 reply
The intended target audience for yaoi is straight women (not exclusive to just straight) I'm newly bi and I started reading when I was straight and I dont care who felt what way I was still going to read. And still am. I draw the line at fiction and reality. I know the difference. 2 reply
I'm not suicidal (I think) but I want to die. I sometimes search up ways to die and get absorbed into the topic. I also think that if my life turns really bad, I can commit suicide. My life's good right now and I'm happy reading yaoi. I don't think this is normal but I wish I could gather enough courage to die. Is it normal?
