...there any particular reason you're capslocking the yaoi? Just curious.
I poked my nose into a pair of gay erotica books at an airport once. One had a plot that was about the level of a mediocre to not good slashfic, the other had porn that sounded more uncomfortable than sexy. Given what little I've seen of both bara and live-action gay porn, I'd say porn in general fetishizes the sexuality of whoever's having the sex at that particular point in time.
Yaoi also doesn't carry that stigma of "gay until the guy shows up", as you said. If females even make an appearance, they're either bit characters or there to encourage the blossoming gay love.
you as a fellow bisexual girl must have experienced the negativity it can bring
Not on a personal level, but then again I don't tend to hang out with the kind of people with that mindset in general. *is sheltered Seiber* I've heard plenty of stories, though.
