Welcome to the

Welcome to the

Alcon Yaoi Panel!

• Yaoi is fictional media that focuses on homoerotic or homoromantic male relationships. These are usually, but not always, made by female authors and are female-oriented.

It began in Japan in the late 1970’s/early 1980’s as an expansion of shonen-ai.

In fact the word Yaoi is an acronym created during this time by Yasuko Sakata and Akiko Hatsu. It stands for Yama nashi; ochi nashi, imi nashi, which means; “No climax, no point, no meaning.”

There is also a funnier acronym made by female yaoi fans (fujoshi, which means rotten girl!), Yameta, oshiri ga itai. Which means …

… “Stop, my butt hurts!”

Originally yaois were a parodies of mainstream anime and manga works..

WRONG!!!!

But as it gained in popularity, it grew to become a term that encompasses a wide range of things such as; manga, anime, dating sims, novels

and dojinshi with both original characters and

storylines as well as continuing parodies of

mainstream work.

The main characters in yaoi are usually put into one of two catagories; Seme or Uke. The Seme male is the dominant one. He will pursue the Uke, take the leads and generally be the spoon ;3 The Uke is the submissive partner. Always on the bottom, very shy and will blush….

….. A lot.
