No no no. Yaoi fangirls are not that sort of creature.
You see, the big reason why they prefer the male-male couplings in fanfiction, regardless of whether the males in question would ever couple with their "pairing partner" or whatever they call it, is thus:
Fangirls of that sort do not sexually reproduce, nor are they capable of doing so. They are asexual organisms that reproduce parthenogenetically, spawning dozens of near-identical fanblobs every month. Thus, the idea of sexual reproduction - which introduces what is, to them, an uncomfortable level of genetic diversity - is abhorrent to the fanblob, and so, to get the attention they crave for their pseudo-creative efforts, they settle for writing unusual homosexual pairings.
So, it's really less like an orgy, but more like an overactive (and very annoying) germ culture.
*wheels blackboard away*
Okay, aside from the usual jokes, why are fangirls so obsessed with yaoi?
I'm not against male/male pairings (of course, the better written ones are a tad easier to read) but why are these girls so driven to force two men together? Is it similar to us men writing yuri?
I'd imagine most of the writers to be below the age of 17, hence the lack of grammar, spelling, ideas, characterisation, plot, etc, but that still doesn't explain why they like to write these completely unrealistic stories (I read the first chapter of the Ramen Delivery, and had to purge my brain of those words).
Please, any hints into the fangirl mind appreciated here.
So this is not off-topic, some crackers from the Naruto section:
I love the confidence the writer shows here...
