Yaoi is bad for women
I am tired of the yaoi and the yaoi fangirls. talk2hand
Especially when they want to force you to watch yaoi. sweatdrop
I do not force anyone to see yuri, but the yaoi fangirls try to force someone (specially others girls and even straight boys) to watch yaoi.
Even the yaoi fangirls have tried every means to force me to say that "yaoi is better than yuri" stressed
They have tried several times to convince me to put yaoi on my page that is about the yuri... stare
The yaoi fangirls have insulted me for not liking the yaoi. They insulted my favorite genre of anime that is yuri, they mocked of me for liking the yuri. neutral
Even the yaoi fangirls have entered my Yurilandia forum and have posted pictures explicit yaoi.
They have insulted the other users in my forum, only by not likes yaoi, and if they see that some of my users that likes yuri, also likes yaoi, they try to make my users forget the yuri and concentrate only on seeing yaoi. rolleyes

Those are my experiences with the yaoi fangirls. sweatdrop

At the University, study the career of Gender Studies and Women Studies.
According to the latest information in Women Studies.

The yaoi is bad for women.

The yaoi promotes androcentrism, phallocentrism, misogyny and patriarchy in the female population.
Besides his greatest danger lies in the fact that it is promoted by women to other women.
In other words, the woman, is promoting other women, something that hurts and devalues itself.

The yaoi show only focuses on men as the greatest and the best in the world. It is not interested in show, something good about women, and even show the woman as a negative image to what must be avoided at all costs.

Because yaoi focuses all its attention on improving the image of man. This has to stop paying attention to the portrayal of women in anime.

The yaoi not improved at all, the image of women in anime or manga.
On the contrary, caused to be left to pay attention, as seen in the image of women in anime.
Which in many animes, the woman portrayed as a useless, weak, clumsy, unable to do anything for herself or defend herself.

Sometimes they even show women as the worst in the yaoi animes.
The yaoi also focuses on showing how women fight and hurt each other, by a man who does not like women. The yaoi, promotes it as an attitude to be imitated by other women.

The yaoi seme and uke's have another function as well. Which is to perpetuate patriarchy.

The seme taking the role of man is always seen as dominant, asset, strong, and handsome.

While the uke to take the role of women, is seen as someone who needs constant protection, weak, submissive, clumsy but very cute and sweet.

In several anime and manga yaoi. The uke does not hesitate to humiliate himself, in exchange for be loved by her seme.

There is no doubt about who is the boss, the seme (who takes the role of man), while the uke (which takes the role of women) you should only do what you tell your seme.

Because women do not have good female characters in anime (except maybe in some good yuri anime). Then focus their attention on wanting to be like gay men, undervaluing the fact of being women, because they feel inferior to a man. Besides it also promotes the imitation of the uke submission.

Besides that yaoi has a very favorable relationship with the patriarchy,
Promoting things like BDSM, child abuse by means of shota, hatred among the women themselves, subjection of women to men, androcentric, phallocentric and misogyny.

Thanks for reading. heart

I agree with your point of view, both as a Yaoi and a Yuri lover.
I noticed, with all the Yaoi that I've read, that women are always depicted as inferior on Yaoi mangas and that's a very negative thing to teach to teen girls.
However, it doesn't stop me from loving Yaoi, that can be very sweet.

Thank you for reading my reply.
