Comment on what is a word like yaoi or yuri, but for boy x girl?
Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 weeks agoYaoi and yuri at least used to denote explicit sex? Has that changed? Non-sexual was shounen ai and shoujo ai in Western fan parlance (Japanese terms are more varied).

Haha, no. Those are hentai genres dude. Ecchi still counts.

Funnily enough, yaoi actually is an acronym, I think referring to stereotypical yaoi stories:
Yama nashi, Ochi nashi, Imi nashi
"No climax, no resolution, no meaning"

Yep, basically “plot? what plot?” More evidence that it meant VERY nsfw things ;D
