An outdated term referring to any male x male manga,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 The term has since been replaced by “Boys-Love” (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.”
