Possibly a dumb question but... what's the difference between yaoi and slash? I've looked up yaoi and it seems to be basically the same thing, but people in fandom seem to use these words in distinctive situations. So I'm a wee bit confused now.

Yaoi = a genre of manga about romantic relationships between men. Notorious for clichéd plots and exaggerated seme/uke (super-manly top/super-feminine bottom) roles. Often has strange anatomy (http://wtfyaoianatomy.tumblr.com has plenty of examples, if you're interested).

Slash = Fanfiction that pairs two men together (or two women, but that's usually called femmeslash to differentiate it from slash with men). Sometimes uses common yaoi genre tropes, but not always (it depends on the writer). Referring to slash as "yaoi" is more likely to happen in anime & manga fandoms, although there has been some debate over whether that is appropriate. Referring to non-anime slash as "yaoi" will at best get you some strange looks and at worst start a flame war.

it's slash for animanga

It's also notable that yaoi usually refers to porn (although some people use it in a more broad sense for nonpornographic manga with the same themes), and slash can be either porn or not.

Isn't shounen-ai the non porn? Man, idk.

Yaoi = PWP, Shounen Ai = Fluff/Angst, BL = the whole genre of written-(by-women)-for-women homosexual animanga. Bara isn't included in that umbrella, I think.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't quote me on this, but I think the term shounen-ai has been more or less phased out. I haven't seen anyone actually use it since my days in Trigun fandom some ten years ago, though that could just be that I'm not in the same fandoms anymore.

Yaoi is slash for anime/manga--PWP based on fictional pairings of canonical series (and always porn).

BL is probably what the OP means. I've never heard 'yaoi manga' used seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

yaoi references two male characters in manga and anime in a homosexual relationship, canon or not.

slash refers to two male characters in a tv show or movie in a homosexual relationship, canon or not. it comes from the / that is people put between characters. star trek is the sourc: kirk/spock.

[(Anonymous)]

yaoi is also its own genre in manga and anime.
