Assuming this is a question, it's when people pair up two male characters sexually. Usually through art, fanfiction or dedicated tumblr pages.

This was a question...I had no idea people did this... not my cup of tea

Not really mine either but I like that it exists, simply because I enjoy seeing people uncomfortable.

Remind me to show you some fanfics here and there one of these days.

Oh, no you're too kind, really. I have quite the imagination.

Good question, never understood why and I can't say I want to find out either so I'll go with wild fanfic artists/writers fulfilling his/her "unique" imaginative tastes and wants.

I'd think the vast majority of the Smash fanbase doesn't even know what yaoi is. I certainly haven't seen any of what you're talking about, nuh uh, no siree!

Welcome to the internet, certain games always pull more toward either yaoi, yuri or random ships. I mean I believe there was shipping of Zero Suit Samus with either Captain Falcon and/or Solid Snake what sense does that make? None but folk think they look good together and their limited exposed character traits in the game seem good.
