I was talking about anime with this guy I used to work with (who was into it, but not really into the "fandom" portion of it), the terms of yaoi, yuri, etc. came into conversation one day. Being a heterosexual male, of course, the meaning of "yuri" was up his alley. When I explained "yaoi", he just looked at me and said, "People are really sick, you know." It was hilarious - all in delivery. One of those "you-had-to-be-there" things.
I'll tell you something sick, yo. So I'm at Fanime Con 2004. I'm watching this late night/ early morning marathon of Naruto episodes (basically the entire chuunin exams from prelims through finals). And of course I've already seen it all (being as I am a fansub-downloading-therefore-superior-and-almost-old-enough-to-drink fan ::tongue in cheek::), but it's fun anyway.
What's messed up is that the hentai 18+ viewing room is the conference room right next to ours. And you know how thin the walls are in hotel conference rooms. So everyone once in a while (every 5 minutes) the hentai would cheer loudly and make whistling noises. This was annoying but kinda funny, so no big deal.
Then. We're watching the prelims and Sasuke is fighting the purple clothed guy and Orochimaru-disguised is watching. And he licks his lips with his really long gross tongue after Sasuke does some really cool taijutsu move.
And the room next door cheers and does cat calls, at that very moment.
After a beat our entire room said "Eww! Uuuuhgh!" at the same time time.
Let's just say that if I was ever inclined to ship Orochimaru with anyone, male or female, it died in that moment.
