So true!
I've started out shounen and then shoujo just for the romance side of things, but when you've read enough shoujo/josei, I don't feel anything on the boy/girl relationship at all cuz almost half of those characters annoy the shit out of me for doing stupid shit or one treats the other like crap. However, with yaoi/yuri, the boy/boy or girl/girl relationship doesn't actually annoy me that much as straight romance does. But still, I treat it the same if there's a character in both yaoi/yuri that's really annoying and that you can't stand them to that point.
you realize you read too much yaoi, when you started stop read a shoujo manga just because the girl is selfish and clingy and you said "what an annoying girl" but when you read a yaoi manga and there's an uke who's selfish and clingy you said "what an adorable ukeee kyaaa~~"
i've read too much yaoi... too much...
