Talk:Yaoi

The trivialized rape thing
It's not necessarily equal to trivialized rape, but in almost every single one out there, the victim falls in Stockholm Syndrome with his rapist, and it's treated as love. I forget the source, but the word itself is an anagram which in Japanese means "stop, my butt hurts". So I think this genre has pretty much earned everything that gots tossed its way. Squall L.

 * Well, I'm not very familiar with anime/manga, but it's important to keep in mind that some people use slash and yaoi interchangeably. So saying these things about yaoi - for which they might be true, I don't know - reflects badly on slash, which should not gain that reputation. Also see my comments on the Talk: Slash page.

 * Yeah, I really don't want to see denigrating claims about an entire genre going on our wiki pages. It's fine if you don't like yaoi, it's fine if all the yaoi you've personally seen has been bad and that's turned you off it, but we can't just take your word for it that your personal experience reflects the entire genre. Regarding the anagram in particular, who's to say that your unsourced anagram is any more accurate than the unsourced anagram we've already got on the page?


 * Also, seconding what Hermione says on the Slash talk page: We prefer it if only actual members of our community edit the wiki in general, and most of your edits seem to have been on sensitive subjects like this, which makes the fact that we don't know you an even bigger concern. So, who are you to us?
