Squall-sama

*laughs* Well at least SOMEBODY is killing you Keith... But I know it must get tiresome fighting teeta all time. I haven't been killed by you for a whole day... what happened? *grins*

And as DemonGoddess061 has pointed out and you so willingly offered. You wished for the voices of opinion. I gave mine. If you didn't want to hear what I had to say then you should never have left that little piece at the end of your original post. You were taking everything I said out of context and using it back against me. Also, obviously if I'm a yaoi writer I think know about homosexuality and how long it's been running around. Furthermore, I was merely using why "YAOI"--specifically came about, since you seemed to use that specific word. You could have been more general and just said homosexual instead, but you chose to use yaoi. So I returned with an explaination behind that. I never even used the word "invent". I would be as arrogant to go that far.... You're the one putting words into my mouth now. Also, just because I write mainly yaoi doesn't make me more defensve than the next person. For all you know someone who is gay could have come along and seen this and taken offense to it and said much the same things I did. Or not. Just because I write it doesn't mean my opion and words have any less value and thats basically what you're implying. Secondly, now who's the name caller here. I never called you specifically a bitch or any other name, thankyouverymuch. So quit resorting to that malicious form of flaming, please. Again, I am not taking myself too seriously, if fact, I was laughing most of the time I was writing my reply. You're the one thats taking far too much offence at what I had to say to defend something you obviously know nothing about. The End.

I think, glancing over everyone elses replies, mine has a little bit of eatch, but I'm still gonna say what I have to say on this. First off, immediately trying to redeem yourself over a subject before you basj it doesn't make the fac that you're bashng it, any better. If you're going to complain about something--especially something as politcally racial as homosexuality--in whatever form--go all the way man, you might as well, you've already dug the hole--you need to sleep in it too. Second, I think we also need to get a few of our facts straight here; 1) Yaoi or slash is written for the same reason as any other genre is written: for pleasure and to bring our fantasies to life. Like you said. Though it's not just written with the same excuse men give or just by women. Everyone is equally guilty of writing yaoi and slash, reguardless of sex. 2) It doesn't matter what genre (again) a story is written in. If the story sucks, it sucks. Period. I don't care if it's straight fiction, yaoi, yuri, porn, fluff, whatever; if someone can't write for the shit, the story is a failure. But there are also equally well written stories out there as well--you just have to look for them. Perhaps you've just been subjected to all the crap; try taking your time to actually sift through the shit that's out there. No matter if it's yaoi or not. 3) Once again, going back to that fantasy being fulfilled thing; gay, straight, bi, whatever, that charaters are put into situations that they would never normally be put into BECAUSE that would never happen. If it makes the author happy to see the straightest guy in the world molest the gayest guy ever--let them do it. I've seen worse--believe me. And if the pairing is awful, or the ideas are just completely illogical and impossible and awful to read, that once again goes back to the author just being a shitty writer. Or inexperienced, whatever. 4) Once again, I will be reiterating myself here: Women aren't the only yaoi authors here!! Quit pointing the finger at only one guilty party. 5) Are you even looking in the correct place for the stories you want to read? I mean, okay, I guess it's understandable that some people are idiots and are incapable of placing the proper tags on their fics so yaoi, yuri, straight and anything in between gets mixed on the man pages of the sections and sometimes into the actual designated space for specific themes... and there's really no way to avoide those, then of course you're going to run across stuff you don't want to read but... if you go into the properly designated section, i.e. yaoi, yuri, specific pairings, etc., then you really shouldn't have that kind of a problem--to the extent that you're ranting and raving about. Unless you're one of those people that close their eyes and randomly click then just happen to fall into the BDSM "butt-plugs" sections, read the fic anyway--even though it wasn't what you wanted in the first place--KEEP reading then proceed to bitch and rant about how awful the story was.... Well then I guess that would make more sense. After all, your hand must have been forced by the Yaoi Satan, right? 6) YAOI is not ruining fanfiction--bad writing and inproper planning and retarded 13 year olds are ruining fanfiction. Choose your words wisely here. 7) There is also a reason for why more yaoi and sexually explicit fic--of any nature-- can be found on here... One abbreviation: FF.net. 8) Once again, what section are you crawing around in? I know there are M/F fics on here, I've seen them. But that's because I'm adventurous and like to stray away from my precious yaoi every once in a while.... Finally, I may just be delusional here but... *checks* Nope, I'm defnitelly a chick... I write yaoi and het and I happen to think I'm pretty good at both. I'm a feminist and I believe women should have as much power and praise and men get. But that doesn't stop me from loving and writing yaoi. I personally write yaoi and feel the way I do about it because I'm a woman and feel the way I do about feminism. I want to see men in the same situations as women; reverse the rolls and show that men can be just as victimized and "weak" as women are portreyed. Once agian, reiterating myself; people write their fantasies to bring them to life in a way they never could. Do you know the exact reasoning and theory behind slash and yaoi in Japan? Women created it because they wanted to show relationships that were actually meaningful and filled with love--to show what a loving and comforting relationship--sexual or not could be like, unlike those that the men created where the women were always being raped and crying and always being tortured and the relationships were always onesided. And that, as with anything else popular bloomed into the fanfiction you see everywhere--there's good and bad. Perhaps next time you wish to bash something like yaoi, you might want to be a little more objective and less personal about it, do your research, your arguments may hold more sway.

It Must Have Been Love in my pants! Haha...

Hah, I'm a dumb ass, I though this was the other one. >.< Sorry Electronic

*snickers and laughs* Hah, I'm above you in suicides now... >.< Damnit.

Yes, like the others said, Instant suicide. I learned that the hard way the first time I attacked someone--which happened to be DemonGoddess061 and I killed myself without knowing what I was doing. >.< Start out attacking them level one people or keep an eye out for the higher ups with like 5 HP, but make sure, if you decide to attack them at a lower level, that their strength is also very low--it doesn't happen often, but just keep an eye out. You don't get any money when there's a difference of 10 lvls or mroe between players, but you get EXP and right now that's what matters, ne? Also, stock of healing items! Go rack up as much points as you can and then buy a shit load of tonics. *nods* They help.

Well, it seems I don't even need you to kill me, I'm doing that just fine to myself. >.< I keep missing! Damnit.

Oh, well YEAH! Of course... You just made it sound like you wouldn't kill anyone in any guild. >.< Misunderstood. Hah....

*raises eyebrow* So... Isn't the whole point of having different guild to attack those opposing and become the most powerful? If you're only attacking those not in a guild, that leaves two people for you to attack, Me and Laaerie. I see no sense in that, but ok. May as well resign to the fate of NEVER leveling then. *salutes and bends over*
