Yaoi is amazing!... I find the aspect of the "forbidden fruit" or "forbidden love" appealing.
Plus westerners don't have anything like it, right!
K I’m going to elaborate on that, this was a response for Yaoi and Boy’s Love for Everyone !
A Friend of mines blog …
She made a post about yaoi and um asked in a way, why it was so appealing and this is what I would have responded... well if I wasn’t so damn rambling lol I would have writing all of this.
I find the idea that the story is about something different aka one, two or sometimes more gay men, their love, their hope, their feelings basically a perspective of how they live (and I say perspective because many mangaka write their stories different) although most of the time is a woman's prospective, their are some male mangaka out there. I swear there are. But seeing how most mangaka use aliases so I'm just going to go with it and say there are Men who are mangaka that draw and write yaoi/BL! :P anyhow back to the topic about me loving yaoi...
So I really really love the fact that these mangaka write and draw these stories, otherwise where would I get my fix right. The stories aka Yaoi usually are yummy male sex goodness censored or not and sometimes just two men finding love. I can say I'm good with either version really... I think, I honestly read these stories because they are something that people are not “suppose” to do i.e. forbidden or conflicted love. Men loving men I see no problem with that , but most of the time they do deal with the conflict of being gay and coming out or staying in the closet and some even deal with the hardship gay men have to deal with, Like I’m not supposed to love him I’m a guy. or family issues around being gay a lot of the mean have no family or a supportive family, but all in all I like when they beat the odds and have a happy ending. Although I do know most of it is fantasy and my friends say I have yaoi eyes or goggles I'm ok with that, because sometimes fantasy is ok
I really applaud these mangaka for writing and drawing these awesomely yaoi / boy love stories but of course I also love men who love men so.. Yeah: P
SO there is the post I would have posted. I find I ramble a lot so sometimes I have to re read and re read to fix things. I know this is different from my usual post not that anyone is really going to read this but I wanted to rambling and well what else are blogs good for right.
