Seems logical to me. Boys = yuck, Girls = beautiful. Just remove all the boys ! Voilà.
Whereas Yaoi is “Oops ! All boys !” aka “Oops ! All yuck !”
Nota Bene : This comment was written by a lesbian. But y’all know I’m correct, deep down, don’t you ?
You’ve never been to a Japanese manga store if you think this. Its so sad how small the yuri sections are compared to the sea of BL
This is mostly my experience on lemmy (there’s 2 yaoi communities, each haven’t had a proper post for about ~6 months). Outside of here, it’s the opposite.
The problem isn’t that there’s not enough yaoi, but that what there is is mostly problematic fetish material by people who don’t seem to understand the concept of consent, and who encourage unsafe practices to young gays. More healthy porn/romance please.
Yeah, so much stuff feels vaguely homophobic.
Most yuri isn’t geared towards lesbians though, at least from what I know.
Most yaoi is geared towards straight women
Ok but you see, Yuri is appealing to straight men, and as we all know, that is the only demographic ever worth appealing to
:(
Ikr, wheres the yuri for actual lesbians? I want yuri because I’m a girlkisser not straight :3
For yuri authors that choose to list a gender the vast majority of them, 80%+, are women. While it varies by distributor the audience for yuri works is made up of close to 50/50% men and women.
Furthermore, if you look at the tag numbers on sites like MAL or mangagao you will find that yaoi manga outnumbers yuri manga by more than 5x:
Also, while its male audience has grown in the intervening years, yaoi originated as a genre primarily by and for women who were attracted to men. Bara is generally more written by gay men for gay men.
Kininatteru Hito ga Otoko ja Nakatta/The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All is one people are getting more enthusiastic about these days. The “green yuri”, as it’s known.
Tsukiatte Agetemo Ii Kana/How Do We Relationship? Just ended its run after 7 years and it’s pretty great and down to earth. (Sidebar: absolutely horrible title translation. A more literal translation of 付き合ってあげてもいいかな would be something like “so you wanna date, or…” or “I guess I could date you” and these capture the tone a lot better. I normally despise the chuds that are like “translators that use any kind of slang or artistic license/interpretation are shit! Translation should be literal! I completely don’t understand how Japanese works!” But this title choice, imo, is just bad and the work is great)
Both, but not at the same time. Do not mix Yuri and Yaoi.
Yuri+yaoi double date disguised as two straight couples. And they live together in a sitcom.

They cancel each other out
Be the change you wish to see in the world
Apparently, I am out of the loop. What or who is Yaoi and Yuri?
Gay cartoon porn. Yaoi is of male subjects, yuri is of female subjects
afaik they aren’t necessarily porn, I think regular romance media can also be classified as yaoi or yuri
context: the DTP (democratic technology party) which is center-right and the SDP (social democratic party) which is center-left are parties in Virtual Democracies, specifically the DTP in the 5th Republic of Owlia and the SDP in the Democratic Republic of Julia. The DTP and SDP are in the yuri alliance. also both owlia and julia are discord virtual democracies but Julia actually has a presence on the fediverse on C.IM even though it was used to advertise it once (at the time of posting).
