yeah
yeah, feels weird ppl calling manhwas/even mangas that has little smut "yaoi"
I always prefer them BL
woah the origin is new info to me! thx
the meaning definitely has been changing outside japan. nothing we could do to stop it tbh, words slowly evolving into something else is not new but reminding people of its origins helps a lot in certain arguments
not really a question but I just wanted to say this cause the meaning seems lost nowadays. there's a reason the japanese don't refer to mlm romance mangas as yaoi but BL!
yaoi stems from YAmanashi (no climax) Ochinashi (no fall) Iminashi (no meaning)
basically it's gay porn. it focuses on sexual stuff with little to no plot lol it's like a gay equivalent to hentai
