Seems like yaoi is more talked about, but do you all think equates to it being more popular?

Simply put, IMHO, in the same way most people read thin Harlequin paperbacks, watching or reading stories about yaoi or yuri is escapism (yes, even Marimite has a "fantasy" school with systems and standards that doesn't have a real world equivalent), to turn off reality for even for a while, either to satisfy one's need for drama, lust or adventure, or in some cases, to see if the story manages to depict homosexuality in a proper light.
Of course there's only a few smart yuri and yaoi titles out there, in a sea of rub-a-dub-servicey tripe. Which is why there are sites like Okazu and some other good critics to help separate the wheat from the chaff.
One final question to you, the threadstarter: after all we've given our answers, have you read them all? Um, and another thing, have you finished the
"study"?
