Some things you dislike about yaoi?
Omg what blasphemy is she spouting! Grab your torches and pitchforks haha!
Seriously though, what are some things you just haaaaaate? And I don't just mean the yaoi genre itself, I'm including fan art, fanfiction, fandom, and anything else that comes to mind.
Personally I hate:
1. The whole rape equals love thing. Sure I might go read a quick pointless yaoi if I need a fix, and that doesn't bug me then. Though when I'm trying to find a good manga with believable characters and all I can find are ones where the whole relationship for the main couple started when when one guy raped another guy who he had an unrequited love with or a guy that raped his best friend that wasn't even aware of his feelings and then they end up a couple I get annoyed. I mean come on, if you were raped my someone (best friend or not) would you turn right around and start dating him!?
2. The lack of yaoi with any decent plot whatsoever. Yeah, there are some good ones out there. They seem to be in the minority though, a lot of what I've seen are just straight sex and what little semblance of a plot there is is just to get the characters to bang each other.
3. Overzealous Fans. You know the ones, I won't even go into detail with that. Thats the second reason I'm a closet yaoi lover. I don't like to be generalized.
4. Unattractive art in a yaoi that has a horrible story. I mean come on! If the storys going to suck at least have something worth looking at! Its a double whammy, two slaps in the face!
5. Mary sue/stus.
6. Mpreg. WHAT.THE.HELL? Just because Harry is a wizard doesn't mean he can get pregnant nor does making the Kyuubi in Naruto a female allow Naruto to give birth to a child.
Now don't get me wrong people, you're free to like whatever you want, this is just my opinion. So don't get your hackles all raised.
