Actually, I never hated yaoi as much until I actually became acqainted with the Naruto fandom, and then I realized I hated it. And the very fact that this topic even exist on a site dedicated to a het couple only makes me hate it more. As someone posted, it's as if you can't enjoy a single anime/manga ect. without some yaoi fan bringing up the topic of what two guys look good doing one another. Dear god why? And the most favored reply by yaoi fans are, if you don't like, don't look/read. Well, that's all fine and dandy, except it is not we who enjoy het stuff who are impeding into your section of the sand box but the other way around.
Naruto is not nor will it ever be shounen-ai, nor is bleach, or Inuyasha, or Vampire Knight or Beserk, and yet i can find more yaoi related materials for these fandoms then I can the latter. And again this is when I am looking for the het stuff which makes it allt he more annoying. I am a heterosexual female. I like...no... love men. I love everything about them from the exotic flavors they come in all the way down to the interaction these men have with the opposite sex. I love the male female dynamic. Thus I seek things that reflect my interest. I don't actively nor passively seek yaoi. In fact, I go out of my way to avoid it, but I am still forced to be bothered with it in places I would expect not to find it at all. So is it g bad? The genre itself not particularly. I don't like it, and never will. Albeit I have written yaoi before. What I truly despise about yaoi is more the fanbase, and their need to make yaoi a topic when it has nothing to do with most series that are over run with the stuff. That's what I find bad about it.
