paperbagprince23 Posted November 26, 2011 at 07:26 PM Report Posted November 26, 2011 at 07:26 PM Usually, when ever I see anything about Yaoi in Chinese, they either type out "Yaoi" or use the japanese hiragana. Anyone know how to say it in Chinese? Is the word even commonly used? Quote
skylee Posted November 27, 2011 at 12:16 AM Report Posted November 27, 2011 at 12:16 AM I don't know anything about this word. But according to google results, some call it 三無 ( "無正式譯名但因沒有高潮、沒有結尾、沒有意義有中文網站稱三無"). Some websites mention the term 山落意無.

xiaocai Posted November 27, 2011 at 04:34 AM Report Posted November 27, 2011 at 04:34 AM I don't think this word is common used outside of certain subcultural groups. 1 Quote
paperbagprince23 Posted November 27, 2011 at 05:08 AM Author Report Posted November 27, 2011 at 05:08 AM I'm sorry; for those who don't know "yaoi" is japanese-english for cartoon porn involving two male characters. Quote
tooironic Posted December 6, 2011 at 11:39 PM Report Posted December 6, 2011 at 11:39 PM I imagine this is the same/similar to "BL" ("Boys Love"), right? Did you check out the Chinese Wikipedia page for it, or the Baike page? There doesn't appear to be a fixed Chinese translation for it. Quote
aifeluna Posted December 16, 2011 at 11:35 AM Report Posted December 16, 2011 at 11:35 AM it's 腐女 which means female who are deeply interested in BL stories. it's an urban word, hardly find from official dictionary. 1 Quote
tooironic Posted December 18, 2011 at 10:32 PM Report Posted December 18, 2011 at 10:32 PM @aifeluna AFAIK it refers to the porn itself, not the female readers. 1 Quote
zinnynhoc Posted October 14, 2014 at 05:05 AM Report Posted October 14, 2014 at 05:05 AM It's called "Danmei". It's more involved to the fiction BL novel written by Chinese. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=danmei Quote
zinnynhoc Posted October 14, 2014 at 08:59 PM Report Posted October 14, 2014 at 08:59 PM Danmei (耽美) in Chinese means "passionate the beauty".<= <In additional>http://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%90am_m%E1%BB%B9 <=Vietnamese wiki Quote
MPhillips Posted October 14, 2014 at 09:41 PM Report Posted October 14, 2014 at 09:41 PM 耽美 in the more recent sense to which zinnynhoc alludes seems to derive by extension from the original Japanese meaning of 耽美 ( "tanbi" -- aesthetics ); thus 耽美注義（"tanbishugi" -- aestheticism）& 耽美派 （“tanbiha” -- the aesthetic school ). 1 Quote
