--- Quote from: Kugai on 03 Jul 2009, 21:49 ---Manx, as with anything like that, there will always be a 'Feeding Frenzy' in the beginning but it does settle down eventually. Slash, whether Yuri or Yaoi has probably been going on for years (the legendary Kirk/Spock slash comes to mind) but the net has allowed it to explode like a Borg invasion.
Eventually, this does settle down and, in some cases, dies away. There is always going to be stuff out there that will make you want to either ask the Author "What the hell were you thinking?!" or even form a lynch mob! (Believe me, I know from personal experience :roll: ), but there is good stuff out there.
Of course, as with all things, it's a matter of taste. I am not a fan of Shonen-Ai/Yaoi, but I am a fan of Shojou-Ai/Yuri (probably stating the obvious here :D ;) ) and I know it's not to everyone's taste. All I can say to that is that you're welcome to your opinion and belief on it, and I would never try to force you to read it - seriously, despite the silly HanTai business (and I have to admit that that did get a little out of hand) - I wouldn't expect you to agree with me about it, just so long as you respected my right to enjoy it.

Hey, I believe that people whould be allowed to make there own decisions, and that includes what your kind of entertainment is, it's when others don't accept my choice of entertainment (Many slashers despise canon pairings, I've noticed, especially if it includes a man and a woman) that I get upset.
As I said, when it comes to in series romance, I usually prefer canon couples (not always, I do have a bit of a crack-shipper in me. for some reason I always liked Naruto/Ino in Naruto), but I can accept others don't feel the same way. I would go one, but i've already stated my feelings on the more maniac slashers above.

She sweats because the character type she's emulating sweats. And...

Jeph: "Chibi style AnthroPCs have an internal reservoir full of a viscous, opaque liquid they can exude through their hair follicles in order to simulate the Nervous Anime Sweatdrop. It's kind of gross, actually."
In other words, I totally called that one. A whole month ago.
As for all the shipping, it's been made very clear that Marigold is completely inept, socially. The blushes at this point are nerves and fear. Not that such emotions don't lead to romance, but I think both these two are not quite to that point.
Also, since shippers use couple portmanteaus, they are by definition evil. I know this because couple portmanteaus are the signature of evil, the embodiment of the creeping darkness of ignorance that threatens to overwhelm us all and hurl us into the dreary inept hell-world of Jeet-Djue-Seat. Stop while there's still time.
Anyway,

I think she's sucking her lips in and out the way Nero Wolfe did when he was working out a case. With Hanners, it's nerves, though.

Delirium:
Look, it's just not realistic for Marigold not to be sexually attracted to Hanners, for the following reasons:
1. Marigold is a regular visitor of 4chan. On 4chan there are traps. It is impossible to look at a hot trap and remain completely heterosexual.
2. She is a fan of Yaoi, as well as anime/manga in general. As I stated earlier, this makes it extremely unlikely for her to be straight.
3. She is viewing yaoi with Hanners. As someone else stated earlier, this is equivlant to two adolescent boys viewing porn together. If they're straight, they're not likely to experiment with each other. If they're not straight, (which, as I've established already, Marigold is astronomically unlikely to be), however, then they are almost certain to sexually experiment.
4. Angus is a horrible, horrible, smarmy dick, so Marigold is seeking comfort in another female. This is likely to lead to sexual activity with her.
5. Hanners can't handle semen, so if she has sex, it's with a girl.
I'm sure there are other factors I'm neglecting to mention, but they all lead to one inevitable conclusion. It would be more likely for a tornado to rip through a junkyard and leave in its wake a fully assembled 747 than for Hanners and Marigold not to make love.

There are SO many holes in that argument it's stunning! You obviously have very litle experience with actual Yaoi fans.
Don't try to inject your hatred over the fact that Angus isn't Sven into this, I'm willing to bet that outside of his issues with her cleanlines, Angus and Marigold are probably friends.
Hannelore's issues are at least partially about cleanliness, and this includes all sex. Where you got the idea it was about male semen over girl mucus, I don't know. But Hanners has shwon the ability to be physically attracted in the past. Can anyone here tell me who to? For the love of God people, Hannelore is attracted to Firemen and Indiana Jones! She's STRAIGHT! Straight as an arrow! She borrowed the Yaoi because it has picturesd of two hot GUYS involved. If it was two hot women, I might agree with you, but it wasn't.
I'm starting to figure out why Jeph hates these forums.
