We need some activity in this forum so I figured I'd start something lol. Refering to the title of this topic - how do you feel when you see a popular pairing of two guys put together when in no way, shape or form would they ever in their lives EVER consider getting together? I know for one it really annoys me, especially when they show in the series or movie or whatever that they are inlove or even together with a female. Now I don't mind guy x guy pairings so I hope no one starts having a go at me about it. If they are official, or show obvious signs that they are interested at least, I have no problem but if it's pairings like the following: Yuki x Kyo (Fruits Basket) - who I might add hate each other Naruto x Sasuke (Naruto) - who are rivals but deep down consider one another friends - FRIENDS! Besides, Naruto likes Sakura .... Well yeah, you get the idea. But pairings like Kamui x Fuuma (X/1999) who are an official pairing I have no problem with, infact I like this pairing. Same with Yuki x Touya (Card Captor Sakura) who are another official pairing are quite cute. But yeah, there's my view anyway. |

I think you mentioned once.. what was it.. Cloud and Sephiroth? That's a big no-no. I personally don't mind the guy x guy thing, but as long as they don't flaunt it, I'm content. And their PDA.... ugh. But anyways, I know you gave me some more examples... But I forgot.

Yeah I know hehe, but it's still scary. I mean, Dark x Daisuke (DN Angel) have been put together as a pairing... But they share the same body! And are technically one another if that makes any sense Besides, both guys fall in love with girls... Showing they don't swing that way at all

They complete each other. They are one. XD Funny thing with Cloud and Sephy is, you never know what Cloud is thinking. Did he fall for Aeris, Tifa...? Maybe Yuffie was his type. Sephiroth, well.. heh.... I dunno. XD |

Sephiroth loves his mother silly hehe
As for Cloud... I believe he loved Aeris in my opinion. Perhaps he had a thing for Tifa in his childhood, but I think Aeris and Cloud had more of a thing going on, even if she was only around for a short time. |

Oh yes, Gundam Wing... The one major Yaoi sprouter and home to many straight pairing bashers. I've never seen an anime character hated so passionately before it's so sad Relena, who loves Heero in this series is hated so much because they prefer Heero to be with Duo (a guy who also has his own Gundam like Heero and technically, I find these two friends in a way, but they are a very strong yaoi pairing).This series actually has yaoi pairings more popular than the straight ones. Heero x Duo is the most popular compared to Heero x Relena when there is actually a sign that Heero cares for her, as it's obvious with Relena liking him lol. Again, they have Quatre x Trowa which I admit can be debatable... It's kind of hard to tell if these two had a thing going on. But in my personal opinion, I saw them as best friends. They understood one another, and personally I didn't really think that them caring for one another would lead to an instant 'OMG they are a couple' assumption. Then we had Wufei x Treize (sp?) ... Which doesn't make sense because Wufei hated Treize with a passion, especially when Wufei was defeated in a duel against him, he wanted vengence. And Treize was a married man who ended up having a child before his wife died and he had a thing going on with his right-hand woman. And Wufei was married as well so technically that pairing itself was But yeah... I could go on forever so I better stop now Thanks Jason, the moment you bring up GW yaoi I go on and on like a broken record lol

There's a lot of pairings in anime like that. I blame it, a lot, on fangirls who want two pretty boys in the same picture. Unless it really is a realistic pairing. However, there's not many of those, really. But since you guys mentioned video games... the Suikoden series has often been the target of some unusual pairings. Gremio X Tir, Jowy X Riou, Tir X Ted, Yuber X Luc X Albert (this one makes me laugh), Lucretia X Lelei (this one probably seems the most realistic, I think), and Richard X Mueller are just some examples. But there are a lot more. Oh, and don't forget Ted X Aldo. Hahaha. Thing is, I think we have to take into consideration translations. Anime and many RPGs alike are not exactly as they were intended to be, since the words had to be translated over to English. So any sort of suggestive line could be completely different in Japanese, and vice versa. An example that comes to mind is the Richard X Mueller thing. When you go talk to Richard when he's lying in bed in the infirmary, he has a conversation with Mueller and says something to the effect of "I know you love me!" But the Japanese version was something like, "The truth is, you really are a kind person, right?" (I believe this was on the Suikosource forum). Totally different. Anyways, back onto anime. I can't think of any glaring examples in particular, other than the Gundam Wing ones (heh, so many...), but anything involving a bunch of pretty boys is subject to strange pairings. What's bad is when it's, like, somewhat based off of history, like some of the Shinsengumi ones. I was thinking, the Okita and Hijikata pairing is pretty awful. And I'm pretty sure that some hardcore fans could pair Okita with Yamanami Keisuke, too. |

Oh yes... Rurouni Kenshin, filled with many hot yet cool guys is subject to a lot of yaoi pairings And then Weiss Kreuz, an anime I just started watching, which is based on four male assasins is subject to yaoi as well. Funny how all of them had girlfriends and stuff, yet people put them together in guy x guy pairings anyway it's just.... ARGH!
And Suikoden lol, yeah... With so many charcters, so many pairings can be made out of them Unfortunately not many good ones I know fangirls seem to have this obsession with guy x guy stuff but... How??? I'm a girl yet I can't figure it out Is it because I read too much into the character to understand that they AREN'T interested in guys?? I admit I swoon over lots of anime guys... Right now I'm obsessed with Dextera and Sinistra from Kiddy Grade... Hot guys and yet... They are a yaoi pairing too, only because they work together and are friends but anyway... Them and Aya from Weiss Kreuz is quite hot too XD! But I don't consider putting them with another guy from the show to make them seem hotter If anything, I'd match them with the girl they loved/were interested in so that way, I can picture myself as the girl lol

Well, I guess I'm a slight anime fan and I'm a girl, but I don't really like the yaoi stuff. I know that all of my female friends that like anime (with the exception of one) like yaoi, though. I don't really know of any other explanation. But even when I was more into it, I still wasn't interested in yaoi. Then again, that might be because I'm slightly different than most people, anyways. I don't even really have any anime guys that I swoon over. I do have some that I think are cool, but not really to that point of "ZOMG SO HAWT LAWLZ", much less a pairing. Again, probably because I'm not really interested in boys (or girls, for that matter) anyways, really. And when you bring up the fact that certain characters could never be in that kind of pairing, a lot of fangirls will kind of just brush it off and ignore you. It's like, they don't care, they just want their fantasy. Which is fine, in that case, as long as I don't have to be subjected to the details of the, uh, trashy parts. But personally, a lot of them just don't make sense. Funny thing is, there's the Oscar Wilde rebuttal for the girlfriend thing. He was married and had kids, but he had flings with men, supposedly. So, I guess you never know for sure... |

Well, these characters in anime shows could have millions of things happen to them which we don't know about. So there is always the endless possibility of something happening to them, like if they ever were interested in a guy or whatever. But we can only go based on what we see of them in the shows we watch. And from there, base how their personalities and feelings are towards other characters and certain situations etc. I mean, Heero COULD get with Duo... I mean, Heero's upbringing was to become a perfect soldier so he never really got the experience to develop feelings for others. I found it started more with Relena though. And during some parts of the anime, Heero showed he had feelings for her (in a way to show he cares). I didn't see him ever call out Duo's name But they are only 16 (based on Endless Waltz) so who knows, with Relena busy being a peace representitive, Heero may get lonely and find his happiness with Duo lol (oh god I'm disturbing myself).But that won't happen anyway as in the manga which follows after Endless Waltz, Heero kisses Relena of his own free will (wasn't forced or anything for those Relena bashers out there!). So again it enforces he isn't interested in males, or DUO for that matter But getting back to the point. I don't mind if people have these yaoi fantasies... If that's what they like then fine, I have no problem with that. But as you said Kairi, if they force this belief on others, that's when I get super mad lol. Because for me, going for straight pairings and finding someone say to me "OMG, Duo and Heero were made for each other!" I would easily slap them in the face if I had the opportunity And especially when they try proving the facts from the anime, I find it's always real stupid crap which as you mentioned as well Kairi that they take something the wrong way because of translation. Even when you try explaining they never listen so you just try and cover your eyes and ears and move on But it's hard doing that lol. Oh well, there is always others out there that feel the same way you do (even if they are fewer in numbers). So yeah, you can always think of them and try being strong lol. The whole world isn't insane yet lol
