Honestly it’s embarrassing and wired how I did, but I first discover yaoi because of gacha life. I was a gacha kid and liked watching those weird gacha things and saw a gay one so I clicked it and watched it. I don’t remember my reaction, but I do know that I liked it and kept watching them. Then I got into anime and manga and boom. I discovered yaoi. Fyi I no longer watch gacha life and find most of it cringy, unless your one of those talented gacha editors I don’t like it anymore.
