Re: 42

I think what the secret writer was getting to, though, is that real people of the male gender generally aren't so feminine looking.

Okay, but if that's the case, that's not a staple of yaoi by any means. That's freaking how a LOT of anime guys, in GEN anime, are designed. Not all, but a lot. The OP's beef, I should think, is with the overriding aesthetics of an entire culture that likes to draw girly looking men.

Meanwhile, it's a minority of people that like to take those girly looking men and make them have sex. *shrug* (And I feel like this is all a moot point, since the OP's expressed distaste for the way REAL men look when naked, anyway.)
