@PK_Spam
So I just discovered Gakuen Heaven. It is basically just Ouran, but the main character is actually a guy (the way Ouran was *supposed* to be).
I am only 2 episodes in, but I def recommend it. It also has video games:

I can already tell it's nothing like Ouran besides being a reverse-harem set in a rich yuppie school.

Ouran was incredibly tongue-in-cheek about EVERYTHING it did, and the show's writers made it a point to actively tell shoujo fans that they were annoying, intrusive, and didn't have any knowledge of how real relationships work.

This just seems like another gay hentai game. But with pretty men. Where's all the beards and muscle?

/ouran
Yeah, this is pretty much all there is to Ouran. You are overthinking it.

Doesnt exist, and I know you would like these kinds of shows (but would never admit it). Sign up for Crunchyroll.

I prefer it with a girl. Makes the situation far more interesting since there's an added element. When it's just a guy, it's boring.

What I like about this show is that EVERYONE is gay (or at least bi). Everything is 100% homonormative. It is awesome.

I like yaoi because it is a fantasy world in which homosexuality is fully normalized and accepted. It makes me forget how shitty the real world is.

And a lot of people criticize yaoi for this and say it ignores the hardships gay people face. The thing is, I dont want to see that in my entertainment. I am reminded of the hardships gay people face on a daily basis. I like being able to escape for 20-30 mins a day.

You've never watched Ouran have you? Or, rather, you've never watched Ouran and compared it to other reverse harems.

Ouran is a parody of the reverse Harem genre, that's why it was so hilarious. No one watched it for the romance, we watched it because it was funny as fuck.

I criticize it because it fetishises homosexuality so middle-aged japanese women can masturbate to it, thereby reinforcing stereotypes about gay men, good and bad. Notice how most yaois are borderline rape?

Yaoi is definitely not perfect (far from it), but it ultimately paints a positive view of homosexuality and does more good than bad.

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.

The main character is such a whiny, slutty, posh twink. They should have just named him Balor.

It paints a view of homosexuality as we're all perverts, who coerce each other into sex under dubious conditions.Yeah, a totally positive portrayal.

Naw, it is portrayed as "uncontrollable love" by the seme for the uke. While that is total BS and not a good thing, it is really only a small part of Yaoi. Yaoi is really about true love in spite of adversity.
