As with everything, men are better at homosexual relationships than women.

There are only 121 pages for yuri/shoujo ai compared to the 400+ pages for yaoi/shounen ai. On a unrelated note, I wish people would stop using those retarded terms.
Carter Sullivan
boys and girls can enjoy yaoi and nobody enjoys yuri
Landon Gomez
yuri hime stats say both males and females read yuri, with the mayority being males at least in that magazine.
Brody Gomez
because yuri is just trash
Jaxson Wright
Yaoi is blatant porn for women, whereas Yuri is just pseudo-porn for men.
Dylan Fisher
> Yuri is just pseudo-porn for men.
not even pseudo-porn. The most popular ones like yuru yuri have no porn at all.
Wyatt Ramirez

Better marketting.

So what's the target group for Yaoi? Do girls actually read about gay boys? Do boys enjoy to self insert themselves into gay couples? How many boys are actually gay ( in japan ) to relate to that stuff anyway?
Gavin Green
Yaoi is written by women for women.
Ryan Thomas
I guess Otoyomegatari is yuri because of that one story where the wife asks her husband to take a second wife?
Matthew White
>Do girls actually read about gay boys?
yes that's the main demographic
>How many boys are actually gay ( in japan ) to relate to that stuff anyway?
actual gays read Bara
Angel Foster
It's also the josei bookshelf.
Adam Anderson
The vast majority of people who consume yaoi are women
Nathan Sanchez
cute boys doing cute things

I take it you've never been to an anime convention when something like Hetalia or Free were at their peak and half of the teenage girls were crossplaying as them.
Jaxon Clark
I don't know if it's more popular, but yaoi is plotless shit for retards much like shounenshit so the dumbass masses and women are able to comprehend & enjoy it.
Jose Hall
Landon Williams
>is plotless shit for retards
so is 90% of anime and manga regardless of genre

yaoi has a very clearly defined audience. i'm not even sure who yuri is supposed to be aimed at and i say that as a massive yurifag. i can't really think of any common traits amongst yuri fans, it seems like a completely random crowd
