It irks me when someone will say that they are a huge yaoi fan, but they only know manga like Junjou Romantica, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, or Koisuru Boukun. Those are the most mainstream yaoi, and, in my opinion, the most poorly-written. Yet, these girls parade around, claiming to be "yaoi experts" (silly title in general).

Does anybody else have a problem with this? Or am I alone?

I dont think so xD
I agree that its kinda stupid to call yourself a xxx expert/big fan of xxx when you only watched/read like 5-10 series. But on the other hand, one series might get you to know that you like it a lot. So I dont really see a problem in it.

I usually tend to ignore people like that xD there are too many idiots either way.

for example what you have added here on MAL (I dunno if that is all or not), I would never see you as big fan of anything, due to the lack of knowledge. Still I dont really care, because as said, one series can make you realize what you like.

I wouldnt even consider JR, SH or KB as the extrem "yaoi" series, rather lighter ones, so just another reason to ignore those people *g*

Hmmm....If they wanna say they are a fan! Well they are! They love the BL they do know of! xD
An expert? Ha! DO they really? :/
I mean I'm no newbie to yaoi and I know many who might have a bigger list than me, but an expert? I don' think there are any, because are tastes are all different.
Only if they reeeeeally get in my face about it will I get annoyed, (As in picking on my tastes) when all they know mainstream yaoi, (though you could know a hell of a lot of yaoi and that will still annoy me xD) but luckily that doesn't really happen to me. Though I do laugh at comments like "this is the best yaoi in the world!" when well of course it is to you, it's the only one you know XD *sigh* whatever, no harm done, but yeah I can understand what you are trying to get at.

It irks me that Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is SO popular and others aren't? I think because it's more 'Shoujo'...which is open to a larger audience (compared to just Yaoi). Whateves

I'm smug enough to think that I'M an expect...but then i compare myself to others are realised I've just scratched the surface ><

I've completed 1654 manga and 2 of them are not yaoi. So expert...I don't know, but hard core enthusiast yes yes yes!!
It is like when a "new" designer "insert hot trend here" comes out everyone is all "I started that", "I am so the best at that". It will fade, and then only the real fujoshi will be left standing
Don't take it to heart. Be optimistic, the now fan favorites may have converted them to the dark side :)

Well, yes, it does annoy me but I don't really think I have a say in what people like. It just kind of puts me off naturally if someone says their favorite is JR or SIH. Actually any BL anime cuz almost none of them are good. (only shit BLs gets animated, sadly)
I mean I liked them too at first, but after have read a lot of BL manga my taste has gotten better and more picky. I don't understand why I liked them in the first place. *sigh*
