An outdated term referring to any male x male manga, anime, or
fanfiction. Can be explicit or not, oftentimes used in a not safe for
work (NSFW) sense. The term has since been replaced by “Boys-
Love” (BL).
Person A: “Don’t you find it
weird how
straight girls will read yaoi but discriminate against gay men?”
Person B: “Yeah, that is pretty
strange.”
