The poor horse
I've run across several misconceptions online, so I'd like to set things clearly, here, to use as reference.
Uke and seme are martial arts terms.
uke = receiver of the technique
seme = to attack
nage = thrower
Nage is from Aikido, in which uke also acts as seme.
I just found this, think it's from...2000? I'm posting the text here, just in case the link ever stops working.
The Great Debate
It has become quite a debate.
Are they gay or are they straight?
First you have yaoi,
This means a boy and a boy.
This include combinations like 1x2, 3x4, and even 5x13
And everything else in between,
If you get what I mean
But yaoi is only about the males
We can't forget those lovely and not so lovely females
When you have a girl and another girlie
This is known as yuri.
Some say Relena and Dorothy are meant to be.
Other's say Noin goes good with Sally.
And some even like a group of three.
Last of all, you have those who think they're straight.
That means like a boy and girl on a date.
This includes Heero and Relena, Duo and Hilde, and the list goes on.
Wufei and Sally, Quatre and Dorothy and Zechs and Noin.
People argue every which way,
Are they straight or are they gay.
But this is what I have to say.
The Gundam characters are not alive
We can all think what we want and we'll all survive.
If you think Quatre is Trowa's koi.
And you like to read and about the boy and his boy
Go ahead and read lots of yaoi.
If Dorothy and Relena is you thing
Than find yourself some yuri Gundam Wing.
But if you like your guys and gals straight
And if you think only a boy and a girl should go on a date.
Leave the yaoi and yuri be
And read things about couple like Wufei and Sally.
All these arguments have given me quite a fright
So everyone please just read and write what you like
Leave the other stories be
Bye now, I think I'll go watch some TV.
I've told my mum about the yaoi/het arguments, and we agree that at this point, it's rather beating a dead horse.
