--- Quote from: Ruby Chan on January 21 2006, 07:54 am ---Has anyone ever noticed how different boy/boy and boy/girl stories are? Leaving out the physical side of the relationships, and the usual plotlines of angsty does-he-like-me-too, am-I-really-gay and it's-a-prejuidiced-world....even fluff fics are totally different. Just the way they're written....I can't really explain it.
Has anyone else noticed it? And can you describe it better than I can?
--- End quote ---
Yeah, I've noticed that, too, Ruby-chan.. In fact, I think that's why I like them more! XD Because if it's a boy/girl relationship, it's usually pretty boring and just the same thing every time...
When it's a boy/boy or girl/girl manga, there is all that angst in the story line, and the character has to accept his or her feelings and he or she has to worry about how others will react, etc. Also, sometimes it turns out the other person isn't also gay or the other person can't accept being gay (In one manga I read one of the two boys killed himself for the way society treated him! It was so sad!!)
If it's a boy/girl thing the storyline is pretty much always just he thinks she's cute, she thinks he's cute, they get together: the end. -_- Boring to Yuki... Either that or it's the age old harem stories... Like Tenchi Muyo.. One guy lives with anywhere from six to thirty girls allll in one house and he has to pick one... Also boring. That's one reason I prefer gay couples to straight ones! XD The stories just seem more mature and complex to me.
Jeannette:
I agree withwhat my dear sister-in-law AkaiYuki's comments, and I want to add that a lot of the difference is because the relationship is between two boys and two girls as opposed to between a boy and a girl. Boys and girls interact with each other and with the opposite sex differently, and homosexuals also interact differently than straight people. Not much differently, but differently. That's why so many people have 'gaydar.' (I have a fairly sensitive pair of 'gaydar' myself.) I'd also like to add that, in straight relationships, the rules are fairly set and known, and everybody knows when either partner has a right to be angry because the other person has broken one of the rules. Gay relationships are breaking the rules themselves, so there are no clear, mutually understood rules like in straight relationships. The couple has to make the rules themselves.

conclution: shounen ai and yaoi couples are more interesting than normal ones
