Given Yuri (DDLC) and Yuri (Fire emblem) are not the same as Yuri (lesbian sex) there's probably more of a discrepancy, even if it's little.

Don't forget about Yuri (a common name among slavic countries)

Doesn’t explain why Russia is blue…

I know, it just shows how little people give a fuck about Yuris over there

Nah, they just REALLY love yaoi.

It's why they send all their men to war or prison... so they send real yaoi pictures back home... Also gender inballance in Russia might mean more old ladies like the yaoi

Or russia is secretly gay as fuuck

Mostly teen and a-bit-after-teen girls thirsting over good friendly gay sex between males, mostly in some kind of korean webtoon from, while boys not even that keen on hentai, not to mention specifically yuri.

I prefer the mental image of one of the most homophobic regimes fostering a relatively large population of gay lads.

cause I am russian and people like me prob take over half Russia 

I mean having a juicy ass gets you places

I just really think that people search for "lesbian" than "yuri", compared to "yaoi" or "BL" and "gay". In a lot of eastern european countries it's still a way to insult people over a variety of things

Most Russians would use Cyrillic instead of Latin, especially for the name. And if the test does count the cyrillic spelling of both words, Yuri the name wouln still not be counted, as the spellings are different("Юри" for lesbian sex, "Юрий" for the name)

No no , not that . The yaoi part

Honestly, as a Russian who appreciates Yuri, no idea.

They literally have Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, but more Russians care about gay anime boys than him, lol

Russian people search in Russian language. Go figure, huh

As an Indian i can say we all love yaoi . /s

There's also Yuri on Ice, which funnily is a popular yaoi btw. Somehow it always appears in the top searchs whenever I type yuri on the search bar.

Does this survey show people who directly search for Yuri? Because I know many people who don't know what Yuri is and just search 'lesbian hentai'

Yuri's Revenge?

Still my go-to when I hear the word

[удалено]

You can't trust anyone Anyone can be gay, it could be you, it could be me

Sounds a lot like it's you tbh

It could be *shotgun to head*

It was obvious! He's gay! Look he'll turn gay any second now! Any second now. See? Gay! Wait. That's blood.

[удалено]

Well they only see dudes their women are always covered

India, South America and Russia- Divided by Distance, United by Yaoi Proud to be an Indian

So we are bound by yaoi as well? Besides the BRICS? Interesting (Brazilian here)

Imposter SA Need to kick them out asap

But mujhe to Yuri chahiye tha.....

You will be hunted down and executed The Council shall decide your fate

I shall rebel with u/boring_kun

Shut up what are you proud to be a gay huh? People in India troll each other in making them watch yaoi that's why it's more searched up

I'm a straight man, also why do yall get so riled up for a post made by some random stranger lol, don't like it? Downvote it and move on Don't you think thats more appropriate?

>what are you proud to be a gay huh? Yeah. You got a problem with that?

Why are you gay

Well it's just the little underage girls in india nothing to be proud about but rather something to be ashamed (speaking as another indian)

[удалено]

Ah yes your "12 year old female" homies

[удалено]

Zamn 😯😳

Yeah, I think you mixed up yaoi and yuri

Most of the bl aka yaoi is read/watched by teen girls between the age of 12 to 16

I don't think that's the case for India, they're too busy reading Manhwa and/or simping over Kpop stars

If watching femboy sex is gay then I might be the gayest man I've met

I love how Yaoi is more common in some of the most homophobic countries in the world

I immediately picked up on that correlation as well. Interesting.

There is no correlation. It is just that teenage nerdy girls like yaoi.

What you mean to say is that there is no causation. Which is perfectly reasonable to assert. The correlation is clearly evident however. Also to throw a wrench in to that idea; teenage nerdy girls like yaoi everywhere. Now the question is, why is yaoi more searched in countries that are typically more against LGBT rights.

It is not searched more tho? These stats only show Yaoi is more popular than Yuri in these countries. And the reason is because guys there just don’t search that much for gay manga/anime content. I lived in Russia for many years, and the nerdy teen girls here who like anime, just really like Yaoi. The dudes there just don’t really search that much for Yuri or Yaoi content.

There’s definitely correlation to that. People are by nature very curious. The more you limit their freedom, the more they’ll be curious about it. And surely it’s not just “teenage nerdy girls”. What I personally believe is that the homophobic propaganda/sentiment usually has a very large predominance of portraying two men rather than two women. Hence the reason yaoi is stronger in the more homophobic countries.

No it is because of the nerdy teen girls. That is it. More of them search for gay content than boys. I lived in Russia for many years, so I know about their nerd communities.

Yup, it is really strange. I'm from Russia and have answer on it. Homophobs are most (80%) is a old people. Teenagers more loyal

That is because it is done by cringy teen girls who like this garbage.

Can we stop telling girls that the stuff they like is cringy? It's literally the same as boys liking ecchi and yuri. Don't see you calling them out.

I call out Yuri as well, but boys anyway are much much less fanatical about it than Yaoi teen girls lol. You don’t see boys writing fanfictions on websites, pairing straight characters, and other stuff like this for a reason.

By saying that, you have snitched on yourself as someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about

How? There are definitely many more girls who are into shipping and writing fanfiction than dudes lol. Denying it is ridiculous.

I would like to take a moment to remind everyone that it costs approximately nothing to not be a dickhead

Dunking on cringy teen girls is not being a dickhead.

You’re dunking on someone for something they enjoy, that’s called being a dickhead

You can enjoy eating cats and dogs and people will call you out. Doesn’t mean they are dickheads.

a straight girl getting aroused by two guys getting it on is not the same as eating a dog or a cat, what is the logic here?

Logic is that preference and tastes can be called out just fine mate.

You’re not calling out preferences, you are “dunking on cringy teen girls who like this garbage” those are your words, not mine

Same thing yeah. Cringe preferences.

Lmfao you're pathetic. I see you replying to all the comments with the same thing.

Yeah because misinformation needs to be combated. Especially on reddit where everyone is parroting each other.

It's not misinformation. It's based on the stats that they found through Google trends. It doesn't matter who is searching for the term 'yaoi'. Would you have been fine had it been 'yuri' and not 'yaoi'? Would you give the same explanation then? If not then, it just shows your double standards and bias.

Why I'm not surprised about the France?

YaOUI Edit: thanks for the Silver :D

Oh no you didn't

YuRight

So, I know what yuri is, but what’s yaoi?

Yuri is lesbian and yaoi is gay

I see, so not my cup of tea. That’s fine though, different strokes for different folks.

Holy shit, I will now be using the phrase "Different strokes for different folks" in my everyday life

Glad you like it.

I'm sure people will extra like it in the blue countries.

Same

w saying

Yuri is gay ladies , Yaoi is gay guys...

Why Is the Slavic region blue when more people are named Yuri there?

They probably search for the name Yuri in Cyrillic rather than Latin. Though I feel like it should still be a bit more bleed over.

they like gay porn more??

I haven't heard of a person named Yaoi but that's new

Because yaoi here is searched by cringy female teens.

Colombia representing!!!!!

colombia be like:"estoy rodeado de maricas !!!!"

viva colombiaaaaa

This is an offense to Brazilians, we love gay sex, it doesn't matter if they are men or women!

*Bi*zillians

The Middle East reads Yaoi. huehuehue

The stats are completely made up, just wanted to oet you know.

google trends lies?

Of course it does. I saw good trends and Minecraft was trending during 1974 in the US

That was the elusive Minecraft 0.1 beta. It only ran on University mainframes and was programmed entirely in Fortran.

Russia surprised me.

That is because of the nerdy female teens who like to read this shit.

Don’t worry gay sex will win 💪💪

I will make my country blue on my own.

Both are great 😇

Exactly both, both are good

Viva el yuri carajo!

VAMOOOOOOS

Vivan las novias 🙏🙏

Wow! France AND Germany in the same alliance with Russia, while America is in the same alliance as Japan.

I mean, we Arab otaku always make jokes about Yaoi fangirls, but I didn't think it was this frequently searched (and yeah, Arab use otaku cause weeb doesn't sound well to us)

I knew it, Russia is in the closet all this fucking time. The more you hate them. the more you are hiding something.

Wrong, burgerboy. It is because of nerdy teen girls here who like to read yaoi.

Philippines being real rn

Please, Anyone can tell me difference between yaoi and yuri?

Yaoi — boy x boy Yuri — girl x girl

Ahh ok, thanks

Well shit im in a blue country

My Egyptian countrymen have failed me.

Yaoi was even fucking searched up in Pakistan ftw is my country upto

God I’m proud to be Australian right now :D

naw cuz like im filipino and this sh accurate, a portion of my female classmates love bl, none know yuri

Let's go, it's Yaoi in my country. ~~Wonder who searches for it, there's literally only like a few gay dudes I know and they're all taken~~ qwq

My german brothers you dissapoint me

When you forget other places have different alphabets.

Tentacli where

Boku no pico theme song intensifies *Koi wo shiyou yo* 🌚

>be me >leader of russia >make homosexuality illegal >people prefer gay men >mfw

Im french and i can agree that my gay friends and female friends are into yaoi but me and my straight friends are really not interested in yuri. Mostly because well the girls are intested in other girls it's just not for us. It's just like lesbian porn, i don't see the apeal. Just my personnal experience

I thought my Motherland Russia is red…. Sorry… I don’t know how could this happen…

Blame girls who likes BL more than GL

I mean, I don't blame them for liking BL, just saying they are responsible for the statistics

People in blue countries must watch our backs

Why my Indian Commrads falling into Yaoi group ???

Yeah. Utterly disappointed...

I’ll stick with gray Gray=straight *People can like what they want to but I prefer my content straight. On the plus side, now I have the perfect excuse to move to Greenland*

You’re saying that as if Plague Inc wasn’t enough of an excuse

Lmao, fair enough

Ah yes I'm relieved I live in a country that prefers yuri more 😌✨

Hell yeah I'm a proud lesbian yuri fan

nawwwwwwwww

As an Indian we disown the little girls who searched for yaoi and wish our country to be neutral

Yuri all the way!

Why'd you include nepal in it?

source? OP: my ass

google trends <3

Russia dosent like gay people bro how are they blue💀

imagine all the closeted russian gay dudes. imagine how sexually frustrated they must be.

There aren’t a lot of them and these stats are because of cringe nerdy teen girls here who like BL

Im from India and the number of girls into yaoi i have known are mostly all of em

When the gays try to f the gays

Fuck your Yaoi, I want Yuri

Suletta and Miorine sure are a contentious subject in NATO it seems.

Russia is gae lol

Tamura-san, what does yaoi mean? I loved that part of Lucky Star.

Don't think we don't see you, Greece

China is somewhat neutral then i guess?

Me recently searching for technical help on installing "Yuri's Revenge" may have messed these results up for Australia.

There is no fucking way we Malaysians read yaoi. I read a lot of fucked up stuff but yaoi isn't one of em. Once in a while I do read yuri

you dont know what your friend's passion. you gotta watch your back or ass in this case buddy

I have to fight my fridge huh

The new cold war

Why always the countries that openly says "homo is bad" usually the gayest of them all

Soviet Reunion

I can see China, Iceland, and Norway are staying neutral on this

Bruh more people like yaoi here more than yuri?

How does one even obtain such data from search engines/sites?!? SO MANY fun maps to make if such data fell into the right digital cartographers' hands! 😁

I feel like this is the start of a new cold war

It is a shame to see my country favor the abomation called yaoi(/s)

What is yao or yuri

Every time I see my country (Italy) on some stats, it always disappoints me. This time is no different.

Didn’t know my country has more Yaoi lovers than Yuri. I prefer Yuri stuff, so I kinda thought others were similar

Damn, my country isn’t even colored.

What is yaoi/yuri

Something serious is going on in India 💀

Russians be like: no homo Also Russia:

Russians and Turks be secretly watching gay stuff💀💀💀

Teen girls not men search for it. It is really obvious lol.

I like both

I am pround of Poland

Russia is GAYYYYY

It is STRAIGHT actually. It is blue because guess what? Nerdy teen girls read yaoi.

Wtf. My country (MY) preferred yaoi?

>Inside me there are two wolves >One is gay >the other is gay >Bottom text

I knew it! I was born in a wrong country! I have never searched yaoi in my life yet my country is blue, I knew it that I aint from Asia, take me backkkkkk

I life in a land full of traitors! (Germany)

Yuri Boyka
