Why do people not understand that yaoi/slash/shounen-ai/whateverthehell, are NOT the same thing?

"lol it's all gay/boy-on-boy/whatever"

Right, 'cause hardcore man/woman porn = D/s het fantasies = fluffy chick flicks = romance novels = nonfiction het relationships = realistic fictional het relationships, it's all heterosexual relationships! If you like one you surely like the others, too!! Let's get over ourselves, they're not different at all.

Whatever.

ETA: Yeah, so it's a touchy subject for me. But I hate hate hate hate when people are all "I know yaoi isn't realistic!" and then are all "eee yaoi!" whenever there's -anything- gay regardless of whether it's actually yaoi-themed or not.

If I happen to like some guy, it's not fucking "yaoi" goddammit. It's just me liking some guy. Do not ask me who is seme or uke. Do NOT say "lol u must be uke because u look it." You know what, don't even assume there IS a seme or uke at all. HI GUYS THIS IS NOT YAOI. "Gay" works. "Homo" works. Just like "het" covers everything. Yaoi DOES NOT. I would hate so hard to live in a yaoi story. I'm sure most people would too.

What does that say? That says yaoi has themes. That means it's a sub-genre of "gay." It's like saying "sci-fi," another sub-genre in the blanket genre of "action/adventure." If you called PotC "sci-fi" would people think you're an idiot? YES. Because you'd be WRONG. How about "romance" as an overarching genre, and "historical drama" as a subgenre? Lol, does that mean "She's All That" is a historical drama? According to the original reasoning, of course it does!

aeghaetjghaetk gay people/gay literature (albeit fandom-based) have diverse relationships/themes too, dammit.

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

...Damn, you're as right as the person who made the secret. D: Is it okay if I agree with you both?

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

3. Have my babies, plz. ♥

[niwakaame.livejournal.com]

13. When I was three, I inadvertedly dropped my favourite(and wellonly) sailro moon figure in the toilet and accidentally flushed.

I was quite sad, I hope it got a nice life:/.

[degrees.livejournal.com]

14. For his birthday, I once made a guy friend of mine a costume from TM to wear at an anime convention. *DIES* But it was Kiyone, not one of the guys. HE STILL WORE IT. I know that somewhere on the internet, there's a picture of a male Kiyone (WHO LOOKED GOOD) wearing that costume I made :D

On topic with the actual secret. Yeah, I can't tell that story to newer fans of anime, because they don't know what TM is. It's sadmaking.

[shahrizai.livejournal.com]

OMFG, people don't know what Tenchi Muyo is? I feel sad for the state of anime fandom. I guess I'm a little better off - I'm a Lodoss fangirl. The fandom is non-existent, but everyone's seen it. It's like one of those weird rites of passage like seeing EVA or Vampire Hunter D.

I'm also feeling sad for the state of anime cons. I feel like an old school fan who just never got to cons in earlier years before fanbrats moved it, so now that I can finally go I just want to smack people.

I don't even want to know the number of fans under the age of 18 who have ever gotten VHS fansubs. Hell, I'm 20 and I was on the edge between fansubs and digisubs. Damnit, people, have some respect for the days before broadband when it was actually hard to pirate shit. We had to make an effort!

[insanepurin.livejournal.com]

14. I couldn't stand Tenchi. @.@;;; I did like the first movie though.

[keikain.livejournal.com]

Uuuugh. So much word on number 12! What's worse is she cross-posts in about seven or eight communities (sometimes with the same misspellings in every single author's note). Anyone remember that day she did a seven part series and cross-posted each part separately one after the other?

[descorde.livejournal.com]

*DIES* THAT IS TERRIBLE

[killcity.livejournal.com]

2. I love that movie so damn much, and I cried (and still do) that that part too ;_;

14. TENCHI MUYO LOVEEEEE!~!!1 ♥♥♥♥

[stormbringer986.livejournal.com]

9. OMG I KNOW! The uber-popular characters/pairings just aren't that appealing to me though.

WERD

Yeah, I know how that is. I was banned from Y!G and I love every minute of it. =P

[fairness.livejournal.com]

14. Oh my god, Tenchi Muyo is what got me INTO anime in the first place. ♥ I remember being like, thirteen and wanting a pet cabbit more than anything else. Good memories.

[shattterheart.livejournal.com]

I remember being like 7 and wanting to touch Ryoko's boobies. 8D

1. WORD. Sure, I try to make mine pretty, but it's not to compete. It's just because I like to make pretty things. Some of the most meaningful secrets I've read have been "ugly as shit."

2. Me too. I loved that movie. ;_;

[aestivalis]

WHY DOES THIS MOVIE GET NO LOVE? It's like a forgotten Disney classic. Only modern. I thought it was wonderful >:

The saddest part, though, is Mr. Arrow. That's his name, right? Auuuugh, heartbreaking!

His voice actor just died too D:

7. Fellow frenchie?
8. I must confess, I feel the same. except that feeling so much hotter than them. that, or laugh and ask myself 'so you're the prettiest girl inf andom,I wonder if you're my type'.

[(Anonymous)]

Sadly, no. Je suis le sucky Americaine. (Pardon my horrid French, I haven't studied it in years.) But I do feel exactly the same. Sometimes I want to be out of this world so much that it HURTS.

...

Usually on a daily basis.

This was the first Disney movie, watched as a teen, that made me cry.

OMGALASJFALKD I LOVE IT.

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

I adore that movie beyond all comprehension.

I also relate to Jim way more than I'm ever comfortable admitting to others.

The biggest difference between us is that I never did find a father figure.

Secret Maker

Sorry to hear. I never found one either.

[luzerna.livejournal.com]

2. That picture looks really familiar. I could swear I've watched it before. What is it?

4. Oh yes, preach it sister ♥ I've had the misfortune of having friends like that. Not fun. You're probably better off without them if they treat you like you're expendable, of course, but it's never easy letting go of a good friend (or what used to be a good friend anyway; sometimes they change so much they're scarcely recognizable).

14. Just because a series is "revolutionary" doesn't mean it's good. D: It might have been really great for its time, but things change and there's no guarantee that it can't be outclassed by newer shows.

Tenchi Muyo and the rest of that genre have never appealed to me. It's just not my cup of tea, you know?

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

Treasure Planet. Disney's space-age version of Treasure Island.

So underrated and underappreciated D:

16. Though Robin Hood has only just started here in Australia (the second episode is tonight) I'd be happy to squee with you. I love the Robin Hood legends in general. At the moment, since I've only seen one episode, not sure if I can agree that a threesome would be a good idea with those characters, but I could totally talk about a whole lot of different pairings.

Taking the opportunity to pimp this stuff 8D

[saave.livejournal.com]

5. 8D Ahaha. I soooo remember that.

4. tl;dr

16. I watched, like, one episode.

I'm not really into Robin Hood, since I live in Nottingham.

[animeotaku51.livejournal.com]

7. Ditto.

16. I LOVE ROBIN HOOD. I'm watching it right now, actually.

[myuki-chan.livejournal.com]

YES.

The moment I saw that block of text on my flist, I knew it was her and her A/Ns again. I believe my reaction was, "... not again."

I was so glad when she finished her last fic. The A/N just kept on getting longer and longer with every chapter and AUGH.

Can't she just... put it under the cut? D: Isn't that more logical anyway??
