Some things you dislike about yaoi?

[DoktorSnope]

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.

Well, I wouldn't say all yaoi works lack a good plot. I've read some pretty good ones that had amazing action as well as steamy hhh action. Though I never bothered to put down the names, so I don't remember them, lol. No, wait, Wild fangs was a good manga!

But yea, the rape equals love thing is really stupid. Also there are stories who have no logic whatsoever behind them. Just brainless pounding. Others are just too violent. I hate yaoi tragedies!!!!!!

The Mpreg thing sounded kinda gross in Sex Pistols. I was like WTF? when the dude in the 2nd OAV was told how to put that worm whatever inside of him. Talk about a major turn off!!

Guess these are some of the things I don't like.

As whritten above.

I think too that the Yaoi - genre lacks better
amounts of good plots.
As people have described already - its Meet ´N´ Shag
the most of it...

Now i know i might offend a few with
my dislike to Fandoms.
I think Yaoi should be kept to OC´s
that is created to the purpose,
and not random characters from T.V shows, cartoons Etc. Etc. -
It kinda fucks up my view on the character XD

I don't like how with some yaoi, (especially the doujins/mangas) certain things don't make sense. I agree that there tend not to be solid plots, that is a little aggrevating. Sometimes certain wants try to overcompensate for the lack of plot with a highly explicit sex scene.

At that point the viewer is so lost they don't even find the scene worth the confusion. Another thing is that sometimes a yaoi will draw out a scene too long and it becomes boring to the point the viewer/reader does not desire to continue.

1.) M-Preg... No thanks.

2.) No plot just smex... Hot but give me SUBSTANCE!

3.) The standard jackass, smoking, always frowning "Badassed" seme. I'd love a badass, not a prick...

[Murky]

Shota - Dude, rooting a kid who's the same age as your little bro...srsly? D:

NO PLOT JUST SEX - Some mangas/doujins/fanfictions are good without the plot...but mostly are really just a slap on the face. I mean, at the first part , their already tearing their clothes and jumping onto the bed..ending? Seme & Uke climaxed.
The end. Kinda boring imo.

Crappy Art work - Nobody likes to read manga w/ a crappy drawing...it's the first thing that we appreciate especially when reading a NEW manga.
And some mangas have a really crap stories combined w/ crappy drawing too :|

Soft spoken/Blushy ukes - Whose only role in the manga is to get raped repeatedly.

Bara - No comment

Contrived Plots - I like my yaoi to have interesting plots..not the one that I can easily guess and get 100% right. That's just boring & very unoriginal.

...Okay enough with my rant.
And please don't flame me, this is just my opinion :T

[Tritium]

Tentacles, and bdsm, and torture and really really abusive guys.

[DMNK]

It seems like Im isolated here..

1. I really hate yaoi which are too dreamy, I mean it can be both the art and the plot.
2. I dislike yaoi with the same plot as shoujo manga. They just have to change the girl into a guy and that's it.
3. About doujinshi, I hate it if the 2 main characters are paired up just because they're hot. I care about feelings more and I need to have good reasons to pair them up, not just because of their appearance :|

mmm... that's all? Did I miss something ?

[Mooglegirl]

Mpreg is just...too weird for me. -.- And I've never been a fan of incest, in yaoi or het. It just feels so inherently wrong, y'know? Bluh.

[xenotic]

Furry, BDSM, torture... I mean, I prefer "normal" yaoi.
