Will we ever have a yaoi anime that isn't for fujoshi?
Will we ever have a yaoi anime that isn't for fujoshi?
I don't understand what you mean. Yaoi is inherently for fujos
>yaoi not intended for fujos
who else would it be directed to?
Only fujoshi and fudanshi like yaoi.
Who would be the audience?
Bara anime? Wait for Golden Kamuy.
Who would it be 4 instead? Gay men? I'm not sure what gay men like that fujos wouldn't like too.
>a yaoi anime that isn't for fujoshi
There's an overlap between what gay men like and what fujoshi like, but then there are extremes on both sides that most gay men wouldn't like and most fujoshi wouldn't like. For example, most fujoshi wouldn't be into huge muscular hairy bears, and most gay men wouldn't be into pencil thin girlymen. Anything in the middle of those would appeal to both sides.
To answer OP's question, if there was a bara manga that was very popular, focused more on plot than porn, and appealed to men as well as women, I could see it being adapted into an anime. But most BL manga don't get anime either so it's even less likely that a manga for gay men would get one.
You can have a love story with gay characters that appeals to everyone
Boku no Pico, unironically
It someone likes m/m shit they're fujoshi/fudanshi. Otherwise they not.
>gay guys don't exist
Gays are't everyone.
Gays like m/m shit but aren't fujoshi or fudanshi.
It's called bara
>
They are fudanshi for liking yaoi which are for girls.
I think gay dudes who like BL would just call themselves gay. I don't see many gays referring to themselves as fudanshi because there's nothing "rotten" about a gay guy liking gay things.
But there is something rotten about a woman liking gay things, and a straight guy liking gay things, hence the terms fujoshi/fudanshi.
They are rotten for liking thing for girls.
Does Jojo count?
Theoretically, but straight men are so insecure that prominent gay relationships turn them off a series no matter how it's portrayed. The only way you could fit a gay couple into a series that appeals to everyone is if you avoid any demonstrations of romantic or sexual attraction to avoid offending their fragile sensibilities.
YOI could've been that series, considering it's mostly just figure skating like many other well loved sports series with a romantic subplot, but then you'd have to take out basically every gay interaction to keep it haram.
To stop it being haram, I mean
YOI could have been that series if it wasn't about figure skating, the gayest sport on the planet.
If YOI was about a manlier sport like American football or hockey, then more straight guys would have been into it.
>straight men are so insecure that prominent gay relationships turn them off
It's called having a different taste user. I like homostuff myself, but retards like you really piss me off.
It's one thing to not want to read/watch BL. It's another thing to hate an anime you were otherwise enjoying because of the gay. A lot of anons dropped No.6 because it turned gay.
By its very definiton BL is for fujoshi. Unless you want a slash manga/anime aimed at some other demographic, you're shit outta luck.
I call bullshit on that. 90% of straight guys refuse to watch anything "gay" because they think it'll make them gay, or at the very least they think people will perceive them as such. The story, animation and art could be a masterpiece, wouldn't matter. It has nothing to do with taste.
there will never be another masterpiece like Hyouka
If someone drops a show because it turns into a straight romance, does that immediately imply that they're insecure too? Because 90% of straight anime romance makes me gag. Can you really analyze someone's psyche just based on that? Are you that good of a psychologist?
Yes, yes it does. If you're disgusted by any type of romance in general, that means you're insecure. It might not make you aroused, and it might not be as compelling, but it you're gonna be a little bitch about it, that's where the issue lies.
So not wanting to watch two people suck face in a closeup shot means I'm insecure? That kind of shit is better saved for porn instead of taking time from the plot of an actual story. But then again that's my "insecurity" speaking, so what the fuck do I know.
I think dropping a show that had no romance to begin with but ended up focusing on a straight romance would be justified. But dropping a show that developed a straight romance that wasn't the focus of the series, assuming you liked everything else, is weird. That being said, I wouldn't call a gay person who is sick of seeing straight romance everywhere insecure.
You can't, I'm not gay.

Naruto just got finished airing after 500 episodes and you're still not satisfied? Damn you OP. I'd almost call you fujo at this point.
gays are not people
