I mean, treating yaoi as the opposite of yuri just doesn’t make sense mathematically: boys are not the inverse of girls. The actual opposite of yuri would somehow have to involve fewer than zero girls, and that’s not an easy thing to characterise.

It has been proposed in the notes that shonen anime, Hideo Kojima games, and police procedurals where all the women die by the end satisfy the criterion of having fewer than zero girls in various ways.

Identifying the common thread of these proposals, we may thus conclude that the opposite of yuri is Supernatural.

(“Doesn’t that just put us back at square one with respect to positing that yaoi is the opposite of yuri” well, no, because Supernatural is also, for unrelated reasons, the opposite of yaoi.)
