First person shooters. They all seem the same to me. Other than Team Fortress 2 because hats and confetti.

So why don't you like yaoi?
It's overly girly-looking dudes in poorly-written and often downright abusive relationships.

And then we are supposed to believe that this is romantic and passionate ??!
No, just no.
Who's saying it has to be romantic and passionate? Some people just have rape fantasies and in yaoi, they can get that!
Yaoi is written for straight women by straight women and represents little of what actual gay relationships are like. In the end, they tend to objectify and oversimplify gay relationships to a degree.
Yes, it's a fantasy. I get that, but it's not emphasized enough that it doesn't represent any healthy relationships.
EDIT: They aren't portrayed as rapist and victim, though. These relationships are often portrayed as a pair of star-crossed lovers and an ideal romance to aspire to.
You only need to read thecloudyday89's blog entries to see how rapey Yaoi is.
So much blood. Too much blood.Quote:
