Keep your men away from my yaoi!!!

In the Loveless community Raburesu[info]shotagoddess makes a post discussing whether or not Loveless is a "gay love story." Apparently the post was prompted by an encounter with a couple of goth anime fanboys at Waldenbooks, who called Loveless their "second favorite gay anime."
[info]grayunderpants has an issue with this, and comments with "I get annoyed when boys try to appropriate the yaoi/BL genre too. It's a love story for girls, written by girs [sic], about guys. I so totally see the love in Loveless, but it's not "gay." Boys, read your own stuff! Grrrr...."

shinataku02, vulpecular, and iczer6 disagree...

Because if you aren't a member of the target audience, you just shouldn't read it.

To me, gay manga implies that it is written for gay people.


AHAHAHAHAHA haaa. And here I thought gay meant same sex relationships,I'm so glad she cleared that up for me.


Damn those icky boys, liking her yaoi! Damn them! Probably getting their male cooties all over the ...uhm boy-boy loving!

Get thee to the gay manga section, boys, before the wymmins smack yo bitch up for hanging out in their section. Because, you see, any manga that is officially "written for women" automatically self-destructs if some male touches it!

Girls read comics about boys who kiss other boys. But real-life boys who kiss other boys (or just enjoy reading about boys who kiss other boys) are not welcome. Why? Because they are boys!

Or something.

I like that there's nothing at all in that wikipedia article about shoujo being for teen girls instead of prepubescent girls. It just says "girls".

Even with the validity of wikipedia being questionable in and of itself, grayunderpants really should have at least made sure her "proof" was actually there.

Boy, [info]grayunderpants sure doesn't get it, does she? Granted i don't read manga but i never realized that they were packed into such specific categories as 'gay', and that it was a hard and fast rule and therefore was not allowed for anyone to interpret it as gay if it wasn't officially labeled that way.

*hugs OT3* don't worry boys, even though you guys never had hot sweaty manlove in the movie doesn't mean i won't still write you having a wild threesome in the showers that should have been a deleted scene on the DVD.

If you said BL had gay themes, then I'd agree. But I wouldn't call it a gay manga. To me, gay manga implies that it is written for gay people. But it's not.

This chick makes my brain hurt.

I don't care that boys enjoy it. I don't want them to call it gay. I don't think it should be ghettoed to the gay section at bookstores

Uh - bitch, please. I can't even start to touch that one without wanking.

I would be SO tempted to post a reply to grayunderpants switching the gender in her spiel, just to see her completely flip. You know she'd do it.

"I get annoyed when girls try to appropriate the yuri genre too. It's a love story for boys, written by boys, about girls. I so totally see the love there, but it's not "gay." Girls, read your own stuff! Grrrr...."

Ahahahaha. The pretension, it oozes through the monitor. I love people like that, who get so caught up in their omgsoimportant research into Japanese that they forget that uh, what may be true in Japan isn't necessarily going to be true everywhere else (honestly, I'm not sure they're correct, anyway, what with me never having visited Japan before). It's that whole different culture thing. And frankly, the translation companies? Don't give a flying fuck who reads (or appropriates) it as long as they make money off of it.

What?

I'm not criticizing, I'm saying I get annoyed when BL is called something out of context. If it were written by gay people for gay people, I wouldn't care if it were termed gay. It wouldn't stop me from reading it, and I would be totally aware that I was not the intended audience for it. It does bother me when gay guys think "she's weird for liking gay manga" when I read BL.

So things aren't allowed to be called gay, EVEN IF they have boys snogging in them...unless they were written specifically by and for a gay audience?

Note to the Audience: You get no say in how you interpret a manga! No calling it gay unless they TELL you it's for gays, okay? I mean, we wouldn't want to embarrass any fangirls by having them associated with actual gay, or - HEAVENS FORFEND! - cause anyone to think they're weird. That shit's just not on, yo.

SeimeixSoubi= S&M non-porn dammit
Kyou shouting to Soubi: LET ME DOOO YOOUUUUU!
Zero girls: We be lesbians. And hawt. We flash boobies. And kiss.
Zero boys: Shota-er than Ritsuka, yo. Androginy. And bathtubs.
SeimeixRitsuka: *Sleep in the same bed and have improper clinginess* oh c'mon, y'know it
RitsukaxSoubi: Piercing scene. The piercing scene. I mean... GUH. And then, Soubi going 'let's see how much of improper touching I can do before I'm told not too! <3!'
Ritsuka: *Hottest shota-seme in training, yo.*

... YUS, I can't see where's the gay. Huh-huh.

I'm waiting for her to pull the "but it's so transgressive!" line.

But labeling Loveless as purely a gay love story strips it of the intricate aspects that make it so intriguing.

'Cause gay love stories can't be intricate or intriguing?

Well if someone goes with the Yaoi-con* description of Yaoi, grayunderpants is somewhat right. Yaoi is written by women for women, and it's not "gay porn" (in the sense of what you find on a porn site). But to say that a boy cant read it, is just plain stupid.

*I would put a link to the actual description, but the Yaoi-con website is close while it's preparing for Yaoi-Con 2006.
