Merged with existing thread. Be respectful and don't bash etc; etc;
I don't mind yaoi/yuri I just tend to dislike their rabid fandoms, but that's pretty much every pairing fandom and yaoi fangirls are easier to spot and discriminate against. While the stereotypical view is that they are 13-4 year old teenage girls who seem to be interested in shounen-ai, there are of course those who fit the "normal" category and can write such a captivating perspective you'd figure they were written by someone who has had homosexual experience.
Again its all about how people define "love" and character dynamic to make possible yaoi/yuri pairings plausible. I can understand NaruSasu being a realistic pair since Kishimoto has put yaoi sub tones between the two and and it appeals to shounen-ai fans who always use these subtle little "hints" to elaborate on the dynamic between the two characters and expand on from there.
Favorite (and only one that I really could care for) yaoi pairing is Gutts/Griffith from Berserk.

Love and lust are often confused as one.
Edited by Saint Michael, 24 May 2009 - 09:08 AM.
The Righteous are humiliated and perish, the strong are weakened and beaten, lovers become wretches to all and the other, the innocent are forsaken and dismissed, and the shattered are left broken... such is the cause of evil and contempt... contempt for what others are not, contempt for their own weaknesses, contempt because they are no longer in the realm of the light. But instead have fallen to hatred, anxiety, and greed.
