I'm Still here!^_^
I haven't been on for a couple of days cuz I've been caught up in a few things. One being the fact that I'm desperately trying to write up the 9th chapter to one of my stories. I've kinda been feeling a little uninspired lately.*sigh* But I'm trudging forward! I've written 12 pages so far, so that's a start.^^
So, how has everyone been? Doing well I hope! I don't really have much to report, so I'll just comment on my last post. Thanks for all of your great comments. I'm so glad the fizz made it to my site to see the Inu-chan pic.^_^ I was getting worried there for a second. Anyway, I was impressed with the variety of answers I got to my question. All in all, I think I can safely say, after summing up all the responses, that we all love yaoi because it's just too damn hot seeing two guys make out!*drool* Are we all agreed on that? Okay, now I'll give my response to the question. Why do I like yaoi? Other than the fact that it's uber cute and sexy, there's a lot more behind my reasoning. While PMing the friend I told you about earlier, I tried to be as "professional" and in good taste as I could be while explaining my reasons. Here's what I wrote:
~As long as you don't degrade what I like, it's all good. Okay, where do I begin...well, let me ask you a question: why do you like anime? See, asking me or any yaoi fan for that matter, why we like yaoi is like asking any otaku why they like anime. We just do! It draws us in and we feel a certain connection to it.
As for me, ever since I was really young, I've been raised to respect everyone, no matter who they are. So, I've been respecting and supporting the gay community ever since I could remember. Over the years, my support and love for them has grown. When anime came into my life back in '98, I found a place that I could feel comfortable and be myself. Since American society is so closed minded and like to ignore that anything different exists, having a way to escape is a huge relief. Just the fact that the Japanese have yaoi, shounen-ai, yuri, and shoujo-ai genres in their animation is such a wonderful thing, in my opinion. It has a place for everyone to feel comfortable and where they can feel free from prejudice.
I love yaoi because...well...it's just something I feel connected to. Plus it's totally cute and hot!!!*drool* Gome! The way my sis and I see it, it's something out of the ordinary, so to speak. It's not the all too familiar guy meets girl scenario. That gets a little old after awhile. Plus, it's all about tolerance! I sneer at anyone who claims to hate gay people. I'm all about spreading love, peace, and understanding! I would NEVER tell someone to love yaoi or anything for that matter. I would only hope that they would at least respect and accept it.~
So, how was my explaination? Did I clarify it enough? Though she seemed to get where I was coming from, I still felt as if she really didn't.
Well, anyway, I'll try to visit everyone's sites as soon as I can. I won't be able to do it in one day, but I'll eventually get it accomplished. I hope you all have a great day! Ja ne!
This is kinda how I looked as I was contemplating what to write for my chapter.^_^
