Agreed. Yaoi can be a very well-reasoned genre, but usually it's just fangirls giggling about teh cute and teh naughty.
heterosexual and yuri couples can be JUST as cute as yaoi couples (and in sometimes even cuter)
Very true, and they sometimes make a helluva lot more sense.
Not -all- females are canon-sues, and I hate how alot of the yaoi fans trash talk on female characters because it gets in the way of 'their ship'
That's an attitude that seems rampant especially in the Gundam Wing fandom. I must admit, I'm not fond of the allegedly canon het pairings there, but I don't see the logic in pairing off the boys "just because they're cute that way" -- if the characters don't have any sort of realistic connection, I just can't buy it. (I do think that Noin and Sally would be a perfect yuri couple, though.)
And those same fangirls give the sane fans like me a -very bad name-.
