Hentai?
this implies sexual (which yaoi and yuri usually not necesarily imply), and doesn't imply heterosexual
Yaoi 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).
Edit: a tongue in cheek meaning of “yaoi” was/is “yamete oshiri ga itai” (stop, my butt hurts)
nowodays they usually doesn't
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
Yaoi and yuri only refer to sexual, shōnen ai and shojō ai are what you’re looking for
vanilla? I suppose?
Using classic genre labels, would it not just be romance? Yaoi and yuri are special labels specifically because they’re “out of the norm”
Is there a Japanese equivalent word/term for either of these genres?
romance
rom com
Edit:
I found these referring to movies:
恋愛 (ren’ai) - love, romance
ラブコメ (rabukome) - romantic comedy
From: skdesu.com/…/vocabulary-japanese-about-cinemas-an…
ecchi I guess (if you’re horny), or just romance
