Well to be honest. Yes.

I find it an expression of love. Love is good. We need more of it to spread around.

And it's a gorgeous cel, to boot.

Well, I don't have a problem with two guys kissing/having sex but them being brothers is kinda gross

But no, I don't think it's offensive. They're clothed even!

I didn't choose on the poll though because I don't think they're hot either (not my type

)

Nope, no problems at all.

hell no i dont mind. then again i'm a yaoi fangirl so of course i'm not gonna mind. but as baakay said it's an expression of love and that is quite true.

and to the guys you know that if that was two girls kissing, you'd be saying yes to it also.

No problem here. May not be my personal cup o tea, but I certainly don't find it offensive. Sorry to break it to the masses, but there is homosexuality in the world. Adapt or die, and I don't care which one you choose.

Funny thing, I've posted the cel below hundreds of times since I got it a few years back, and I have yet to receive one single complaint. Weird.

I didn't choose in the poll, either, because I don't find the image "hot".

But, I also do not think it's offensive. So, none of the poll options really fit for me --- LOL.

I really think it's a beautiful cel, and you should display it as a treasured part of your collection. If people are offended by it, they can always skip over it and not view it ... provided you put the adequate warnings on it for them.

Actually Gloff, I think its a wonderful cel.

I really have a thing for Yaoi, though. Plus, if I
thought that was offensive, then I just wouldn't
get any enjoyment out of my new cel.

I'm not a yaoi fangirl (never watch the stuff--not my cup of tea) but it doesn't really offend me. It's a lot cleaner than some of the other stuff out there. In fact, (correct me if I'm wrong, I never watch any of the genres I'm about to list) it seems that yaoi tends to be a lot cleaner than hentai or yuri. That's just based off of what I've seen in various cel collections.

On the other hand, I can see how that would offend someone--it's not an image I would actively seek out, but then I know what the terminology means. To the untrained cel fan, it might come as a huge surprise--and a surprise that that fan might not have wanted to see.

So, if you're getting complaints, perhaps some warnings might suffice. Explain that yaoi is about homosexual relations. If that isn't enough, you might just have to password protect your "offensive" cels. Of course, that's your choice. If you don't want to do any of that, no one can make you. I don't think it breaks any of RS's rules.

I don't think they're brothers. From what I understand, there are two guys in the cel: (duh klet

) A-san and B-san. But there's a third guy in the anime: C-san. A-san and C-san are brothers, but B-san and C-san are lovers. So, someone's moving in on his brother's plaything.

Correct me if I'm wrong about that. Like I said, I don't watch this stuff.

As long as they ain't havn sex I couldn't care less.

To ones' own I say. It's not a bad cel at all. It's not HALF as bad as some of the homosexual sites/ images on the internet you get thrown at you.
