An outdated term referring to any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 The term has since been replaced by “Boys-Love” (BL).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.”
