I honestly thought I was the only one who couldn’t understand this fascination with Yaoi (or Yuri) and the whole ‘shipping business. Keeping an eye on Webtoons and the like, it’s easy to see that the comics that rise to the top for the most part are Yaoi, and reading the comments, it’s “Oooh, I ship them” and “I ship those guys.” One of my favorite comic artist featured a fangirl at a Christmas pageant, and during the betrayal scene at the last supper, she said — loudly — “I ship them!” I loved the expressions of the actors portraying Judas and Jesus. Thing is, I believe Yaoi/Yuri has been around for years. It’s not even about sex, it’s romance. :-/
I guess I understand – I’m not really into lesbians but hetero sex is better experienced than seen. I’ve never felt the urge to ‘ship female characters together though. I suppose it would have been funny if Jabba had slave Mara Jade going the same time as slave Leia. Luke probably would have still picked his sister.
It’s funny to me because I come from a time when women didn’t officially have a kinky side – but now they’re all masturbating to underage Harry and Ron with their 14″ dildos or rabbit vibrators. Probably on camera for money. What a strange turn of events it’s been.
“We’ve seen enough hentai to know where this is going.”
No, wait! End of story! It’s not going anywhere now!
