It's just "labelling" by fanatics of the genre.

I don't know why they call it "pure" anyway. Maybe licking and rubbing each others' crotch without penetration and unproductive sex makes it look pure. I fap to that.

Nah, yuri is lewd. That's not pure at all. If you want purest forms of love that'd be shoujo-ai.

Sometimes I feel like being more active on this forum, and then I realize that you are all filthy weirdos that are a bad influence on me.



To give you a serious reply though. The most purest form of love would be the unconditional love a parent has for their child.

If you're asking seriously, Yuri CAN be the purest form of love but it isn't THE purest form of love. All forms of love can be pure regardless if it's yaoi, yuri,straight etc. it depends on the people.

Yuri,is everywhere.
If you look a little closely in every anime you watch,YOU LL SEE IT.
You cannot escape from yuri,even in innocent slice of life or even in shoujo.
Your watching anime,there is no one around,and you have no friends.
Out of the corner of your eyes,you spot it (the yuri plot)
It's following you about thirty feets back,
It's get's down on the MC and takes her in the closet.
It's gaining on you (the yuri plot)
You're looking for the Guy,but he's nowhere to be found,
It's almost taken off the MC clothes and...
There's blood on the floor.
OH MY GOD THERE S BLOOD EVERYWHERE
Loosing the MC because of the yuri plot
The guy came to late to fight the yuri plot
Waiting in the shadows...
To appear in a new anime Romcom (the yuri plot)
I could say a lot of things about that actual cannibal horrible thing.

THAT S OBVIOUSLY A CONSPIRACY !
EVERYONE,LET S SPAM HETERO ROMANCE TOPIC !
We can win against the yuri-thing !
Believe in me,Join us !

Yuri != pure
Shoujo-Ai = pure

Every genre has his pure love stories, so the anwser is no.
But Shoujo-Ai stories happen to be mostly about pure love.

That's something only you can conclude for yourself at the end of a story by your perception of the word innocent. Everybody has his own values, so what I find innocent doesn't mean that you will. This means that I can find a story to be pure while you don't.

I'm just asking a question. what is your definition of innocence to correlate to the claim that it's pure love? If you refuse to answer then well don't.

I'm sorry if I offended you in any way.

I find that pure love is having very strong feelings for your significant other without having any sexual motives. That's what I think that makes it innocent. That doesn't mean that I find it bad if they have any, but then I don't see this love as a pure one. I like both but I prefer a pure one.

I hope this makes it clear.

While I'm not a fan of these shows specifically I'd like to point out that, while you say they wouldn't be remembered as much if they were straight, they're not straight. You can't just genderswap the characters and keep the romance's dynamic the same, and maybe that dynamic is exactly what we yuri fans like.
Not to mention, there are romances I would personally call just as generic and even more annoying than stuff like Girlfriends and Hanjuku Joshi get popular, like Kimi ni Todoke.

Lots of people like Kimi ni Todoke so 'just as generic as Kimi ni Todoke' wasn't meant to be a huge insult. With that said, I like Girlfriends a lot but I wouldn't say it's groundbreaking exactly. Two girls in highschool become friends and romance slowly develops between them. However, one of them fears that the other one will find out and it'll ruin their friendship. Where have I seen that plot before?

It's certainly well-executed, no doubt about that, but there's not much originality there. Same as with most popular romances really, whether they're about straight couples or not. So people aren't really overrating yuri as silversongwriter says.

Love is love, that's all...
If two beings love each others, no matter what they are, It's good.
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of homosexual love but if they're both happy together, who am I to judge?

In my viewpoint, my favorite romance is "Beauty & the Beast" kind.
The beautifull smart, open-minded, human lady with a strong personnality with a huge beefy intimidating beast with a golden heart makes explode my poor little heart. ^^

I see what you are saying, but a common theme/plot =/= generic. I'd call Girl Friends anything but. I agree with you on the yuri not being overrated front.

Hmm, what would you say makes Girlfriends so unique beyond good characterization and realism? I may be biased because I'm not a huge romance fan and most of the ones I've liked are quite unusual in some aspects.

It couldn't be the same if it "were about straight couples"

For example in Sasameki koto (manga, dunno about the anime) the fact that Ushio likes girls is the reason for most things in the story (bullying, moving from town, getting to be friends with Sumika, etc)
