ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Yaoi fandom

Yaoi fandom is when people really, really like stories, art, and characters that show romantic or sexual relationships between two guys. It's like a big fan club for these kinds of stories. People who are part of the Yaoi fandom enjoy reading and looking at pictures of these kinds of romances, and they might even dress up as their favorite characters or make their own stories and art to share with other fans. It's like being a really big fan of a TV show or a band, but instead of the show or band, it's all about the romantic relationships between two guys.
