Hey Balor, you ever watched the series, Gaycation? I think you'd really like it.

There's an episode where they focus on the homosexual culture and stigmas in Japan.

Jarsky definitely has the right of it, Yaoi is primarily marketed toward straight females in Japan. It's fascinating how they see Yaoi as something they can enjoy and revel in the "taboo" feeling while watching it; while simultaneously ridiculing and ostracizing real life homosexual couples.



Yeah, I have seen it. I loved that episode.
I know I am not the target audience, but western media is pretty much devoid of any gay romance (besides random indie films), so I will take what I can get.
I agree though, it is weird how gay un-friendly Japan is. For a country so open about sex, you think they would be more accepting.
