    I’ve heard that yaoi was more meant for the female audience, and bara for a male audience., but there are probably different interpretations.

      Baras origins were male oriented yes(general gay content). Yaoi was an offshoot of shoujo media which are female audience forward. whether you consume the content has no bearing tot he terms. Doesnt stop some guy who wants to consume yaoi, or some female who wants to consume bara.
