Thankfully, not all Yaoi are just porn.
yea they are this is a shounen ai they should tag it properly.
That is where you're wrong. Yaoi is simply the adult counterpart to Shounen Ai like How Seinen is to Shounen. It doesn't have to be porno so long as it has maturity. Just take a look at Super Lovers.
super lovers is a shounen ai mangago just puts a lot of wrong tags on stories but on mangafox and any other site super lovers is a shounen ai.
Can't believe you're gonna put the credibility of Mangago, a manga site that specialize on BL, over a site like mangafox. Needless to say, you are yet wrong again. Super Lover is publish in Kadokawa Shoten under Ciel magazine and now Emerald, two magazine that are notorious for Yaoi and not Shounen Ai.
Can y’all stop arguing it’s not that serious and the first person who commented it was saying it as a joke at first so calm the hell down. Get along ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I'm not arguing. I'm educating. It's always good to learn more about the things you love.
shes/he is arguing and she is wrong lol. Sex does not mean porn btw there are lots of manga with sex scenes that aren't porn...
Aren't you the one who said that Yaoi are porn when I said they're not? Talk about embarrassing yourself by being wrong twice.
Just because something has a sex scene does not make it porn, have you ever seen an R-Rated movie? Plenty have sex scenes, but they also have stories tied to the sex scenes. Sex is a part of every mature relationship and Yaoi's are generally by the vast majority of readers, considered to be stories about relationships which contain sex scenes.
x2 I'm guessing some people might come from a more conservative background where they associate any nudity or sexual content as being "porn", rather than maturely or realistically just seeing as it as a normal part of life that is represented when you deal with adult characters in such comics.
Yep, seems so, but I grew up with a bunch of free love stoners and hippies, so I'm about as far from conservative as it gets haha.
At least you know how to pick your battle.
If there is no sex depicted then by definition it isn't yaoi, it's shounen ai. Shounen ai is primarily romance where as yaoi displays sex or romance and sex.
Then how come there are Shounen Ai out there that depict sex then even when they're not label as Yaoi?
Unlike your opinion, here are the facts. Like Seinen is to Shounen, Yaoi is the mature counter part to Shounen Ai. Meaning that as long as a homosexual story is targeted towards an older female audience that which is older than teenagers, it is a Yaoi.
That's why in Yaoi, when there is a sex scene, you get the very graphic scene where the genitals are reveal. While in Shounen Ai, even though there is sex, the scene are a lot less revealing because it is targeted towards a younger audience.
As you can see, sexual intercourse doesn't dictate the demographic. Now you won't make the same mistake twice.
Nothing you just said is in anyway a counter to my statement. Also, whose labeling are you referring to? I think it's hilarious you mention genitalia being revealed, because in Japan they will not allow depictions of genitals in their media and any genitals you've seen in a manga were all added later by a redrawer (typically working with a translator team) that may "uncensor" genitals. That's why there's so many "lightsaber" dicks in mangas.
Anyways, both terms do have a difference, and that key difference between yaoi and shounen ai is how they choose to portray (or not portray) sex.
Are you stupid? Your argument is that Yaoi contains sex. I just proved you wrong by stating the fact that Shounen Ai also contain sex as well.
I know that you're dumb for just assuming that the difference between Yaoi is Shounen Ai is sex. But at least remember what the original argument is.
Yaoi does contain sex. Usually it has very graphic sex, but if there is no sex shown then it isn't yaoi. Throwing around insults doesn't help your point in anyway, and I'm pretty sure you're the one that doesn't understand what the original argument is. A simple Google search would back up my claims. Where are these Shounen Ai with graphic sex scenes you're spouting about?
Zankoku na Kami ga Shihaisuru has sex in it. A Night of a Thousand Dreams have sex in it. Omamorishimasu, Dokomademo has sex in it. Not to mention the thousands of shounen ai dojinshi out there that has sex in it.
There is a reason why no one else, not even, spacesapphire talk back after I say that sex isn't what makes a Yaoi. No one else but you. That's because unlike you, they've read enough BL manga to know the facts from the opinion. So stop acting stupid and accept the fact.
And lastly, it's not name calling if it's the truth. Know the difference idiot.
wheres the steamy sex scenes tho....
