0_About Yaoi.txt
Seme and Uke
The two involved in a yaoi relationship are either called Seme, meaning "attacker", or Uke, meaning "receiver". Seme derives from the Japanese verb semeru ( to attack ) and uke from the Japanese verb ukeru ( to receive ). Though gay males are often referred to in English as "tops" or "bottoms," seme and uke are more nearly analogous to "pitcher" and "catcher."
The seme is often depicted as the stereotypical male of anime and manga culture: restrained, physically powerful, and/or protective. The seme generally has a stronger chin, shorter hair, smaller eyes, and a more stereotypically masculine demeanor than the uke. The seme usually pursues the uke. The uke usually has softer, youthful features with bigger eyes and a smaller build. He is usually less experienced with romance or sex and his interactions with the seme often make for his first homosexual experience.
Yaoi vs. shMnen-ai
Yaoi is used to describe titles which contain sex scenes and other sexually explicit themes. The counterpart, shMnen-ai, is used to describe titles that focus more on romance and don't include explicit sexual content.
Shotacon
Also know as "Shota". shotacon often depicts children in sexual situations with adults or other children. While the shotacon community argues that drawn art is protected under freedom of speech, critics claim shotacon is a direct offshoot of child pornography and may lead to child sexual abuse, backed by studies done on the subject by the NHC (formerly the National Children's Homes). Supporters argue shotacon is fictional drawings and therefore not child pornography (a view supported by Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition) because no child has been harmed in its creation, and that no study has ever linked shotacon to child sexual abuse.
Doujinshi
Doujinshis are based off of non-yaoi animes or mangas. You can basicly look at them as fan-made mangas. Crack pairings and crossovers often feature impossible or improbable romantic couples.
