I think you need to clarify what you are talking about to distinguish it from yuri or shojo ai or GL.

That is the true problem with homosexuality. It distorts the purity of a true and deep platonic love between members of the same gender and sexual desire. When people are worried about coming across as gay to their friends of the same gender, they are less likely to show their platonic love for one another, thus reducing the overall affectionate interactions that can normally take place without sexual desire being present. The fact that you have to distinguish between close friends that are girls and girls wanting to nasty each other signifies the depths of depravity the world has sunk to. CGDCT and Yuri should not be categorized in the same class.

I really like it if it's portrayed well. It's pretty obvious since most of my faves consist of this type of show lol. Based on Wikipedia, yuri is not considered one since most of the time, it always ends up having a sexual relationship.

Yup I like them, those are cute. And not just female friendship, I like to watch great friendships between people or group of people regardless of gender in general and not just in anime but in normal shows too. It's great to watch friendships and it's kinda more relatable than romantic relationships too because being an hardcore otaku automatically means you are not gonna get any women so having good otaku friends is the most we can aim for. I'm lucky in that regard as I've tons of friends who watch anime, don't have GREAT friendships with any of them but they all are very cool.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

In my head they're always in love with each other.

If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Apparently, some people think that there is no such thing as comradery between girls and every interaction implies they are lesbian.

That is a result of homosexual propaganda distorting the highly adaptable human mind into a state that sees any kind of love as sexual. With the increasing rise of homosexuality being brought about by the global leftist intelligentsia propaganda, you will see an increase in this distorted maladaptive behavior, as people become more confused. It's all a ploy to make the atheist agenda seem more moral than religious institutions, but the true aim is global depopulation, and it will wreak havoc in Everyone's interpersonal lives.

This attitude would later inform contemporary perspectives on lesbianism in Japan: a tolerance towards non-sexual intimacy between girls, and the widespread belief that female homosexuality is a "phase."

Yeah ok, I don't like that. It's not a phase, and you shouldn't be judged for loving other girls in a more hands-on way, so if this is the cause of that kind of view, I probably don't consider myself a fan.
Overall, while it sounds artsy and aesthetic and all, it just comes across to me as vague censorship, in the same way that Chinese danmei nowadays likes to portray male lovers as "just very close friends" or brothers in spirit.

That said, I DO like close friendships because they make for great shipping fodder ;)

How would you know if it's just a phase or not? Have you experienced the love life of every person who has ever lived? What about my sister who was a lesbian for 3 years? Now she is very embarrassed she ever bought into the propaganda on Tumblr. Was that not a phase? My sister would say it was, and who are you to contradict that?

Let me just go on a little rant about why I consider homosexuality bad, using observation in the real world and Spock-level logic. Human societal cohesion is predicated on valuing heterosexual monogamy as sacred. Why? Because this is the way to not only create children but to expose them to unconditional love from both genders, in the optimal scenario, which prepares them to enter the world with the capacity to empathize with the maximum number of people. This is the process that bred the kind of people who created functional societies that led to high-level cooperation that enabled the enlightenment and the scientific revolution to happen in the first place. The society that without which you wouldn't be comfortable enough to question whether or not it's okay for people to be gay. When you no longer value heterosexual monogamy as the true form of sexual expression it causes the fabric that holds society together, to fall apart. This increases social bifurcation and lack of cohesion, destabilizing the structure of society and thus increasing the propensity for chaos and discontent. This could ultimately lead to the collapse of society and devolve into civil war leading to mass genocide. GENOCIDE I say. That's why Homosexuality is bad. If you think that's not what's been happening in the USA since 2014 look out your window. Civil War was just trending on Twitter in the USA just last week. Most cultures throughout history didn't accept homosexuality and the major ones that did collapse soon after, Like Greece and Rome. The tribes in Papua new guinea who practice homosexuality to this day also still live in huts and rape children.

Sounds more like your sister can't admit to you that she's bi because she has a bigot as a brother who constantly spews hate and conspiracy theories about some supposed gay propaganda depopulation bs and she's sick of having to live with the constant opposition and hostility from people like you, but hey, what do I know 🙃 It's not like that's the reality for millions and millions of queer people all over the world. I'm sure your sis is just that special~

Not really a fan personally. Mostly because I just think a show about girls being friends is kind of boring. If it had great comedy or something as well, then sure.

Yeah that sound like some copium to me. If you even suggested to my sister that she is bi, she wouldn't talk to you anymore. She is under no circumstances shy to express how she really feels, trust me. The human mind is highly adaptable and suggestible. Once my sister stopped using Tumblr, she began to realize that it was all lies. Thats her words, not mine. Edit: by the way, global depopulation is not just a conspiracy theory, it's real. Besides, do you really think people at the top with a lot of money don't come together and make plans (conspire)? That's what they want you to think. Do you think that this pandemic isn't a means of global depopulation? Please, like covid just started naturally in the same city that a coronavirus lab was in. Yeah sure, that's just a conspiracy too.

I avoid media with homosexuality of any form, thus why I no longer watch pretty much any western produced media. Hang in there, comrade! It's not going to get easier.

sometimes its bad but more often than not, at least in my experience, this type of anime is pretty good. Last few weeks I focused on trying a lot of action/adventure genre and found myself disappointed, bored and frustrated time and time again. Then I randomly picked up the one about the girls who are in a fishing club. Of course it was nothing mind-blowing but it was so easy to watch. I've no complaints.

It's often really saccharine and romanticized. You can see the (mostly) male authors behind that, who imagine that girls are always cuddly and cute with each other and don't act like in an actual friendship.
It's nice to watch sometimes, if I'm doing something else like cooking, because it doesn't need too much of my attention, but I think I become slowly too tired of that.

I want to see some real, female friendships.
One of the best I came across lately has been between Nobara and Maki, but I also lowkey ship them. But even without shipping them, I really enjoy their friendship. It feels deeper and more real than all of these saccharine and cuddly ones.

You are so lucky then that there isn't any homosexuality in Sailor Moon.
Tho I think I got news for you, if you act like this around your female "cousin". lol

I like female friendship like in Love Live but I do not like it if they cross the bound, in other words yuri. That's all to it.

Honestly I think calling anything class s today is dated. There are obvious influences from class s literature in anime and manga, like Dear brother is good example of that. Class s literature itself is interesting, and I have huge respect towards Nobuko Yoshiya. But I just see it more as one way to explore lesbian relationships and fantasies in a time period when it wasn't outspoken thing and more of a taboo. Hence it having stereotypes today lesbian fiction usually avoids or use as negative thing thrown towards our mc face.

And I like both relationship dynamic, romantic and friendship.
