ShizukuViolet said: @ImmatureCookie I do not really feel like a bisexual person, i do like boys more ofc, but I love yuri and yaoi. I just feel like some of these yuri romances have better romance (or storys) than "normal" romance animes in generell. For example, I was really fond by Citrus and Girlfriends. @ShizukuViolet Taste in a 'homosexual' genre is not indicative one's sexuality... but Citrus and Girl Friends is essentials in a Yuri Lover's list, however, I am currently I'm currently obsessed with Their Story by Tanjiu |

Zefyris said: KuuhakuDesu said: I know some girls irl that are into shoujo ai. Most of them are lesbians. Though it's not like these things are strictly related. No, I don't think those girls are into that. Shoujo Ai means being sexually attractyed (with platonic love or NOT) toward little girls. It's not two girls loving each other, but gown up liking under-aged girls. And by grown up I don't especially mean women grown up. And shounen Ai is the same for under-aged boys. Some peoples here including DataYutaka already notified MAL's moderators of that huge mistake being made, but it wasn't changed in the database. Well whatever. No matter the stance of MAL, peoples on western boards should be really careful with those terms lol. If you say to a japanese that you're into shoujo ai, this will NOT mean what you think it does. Do not complain if they look at you with disgust... @ImmatureCookie @EssentialTeacup Maybe you should read what I just wrote above as well. @Zefyris I will acknowledge that for future reference... Japenese literal translations are sometimes trippy @_@ |

| Hoo boy, time to wave the yuri flag. I'm a huge, huge female yuri fan, and have been fond of the genre for almost 10 years now. It's a huge part of why I'm still into manga and anime. (Although yuri anime aren't that great...) One of the best yuri series out there is Kase-san by Hiromi Takashima, so check it out if you're really into lighthearted, fluffy romance between girls. It pretty much encompasses everything to love about yuri without being overly explicit or dramatic, so I'd recommend it over any other series. |

| @ImmatureCookie Oh I've read Their Story all the way up to the most recent update. It's just tough being patient for new chapters, especially since they're so short. It's great! Qiu Tong and Mop Head are my favorites. Speaking of short, Stretch by Higashiyama Shou had some of the best yuri subtext manga to date, but the chapters were just so damn short. I flew through the entire series within a few hours, and it's disappointing that it had to end. Probably the second (or third) manga on Dynasty Reader that reached so many comments in such a short time. |

| Yuri, Yaoi, Twincest...I'm a girl that's partial to it all so long as the characters actually love each other, there's believable development and the romance isn't forced. The only time I don't like it is when it's half-assed or just there for fanservice or smut sake. I hear a lot of straight girls saying they don't like Yuri (some even straight up avoid it) because it just makes them uncomfortable to see a romance between two girls. Of course I can respect that, a lot of straight guys don't wanna watch Yaoi...but I've never really minded girl x girl romance, even though I couldn't see myself dating or being attracted to a girl irl. I mean look, how is this not beautiful??! Favourite pairing as a child, and still one of my favourites now...  |

I feel like with personal experience people really aren't willing to actually analyze their own sexuality and just go with what's normal for the sake of feeling normal. I mean my friend who became bisexual was really struggling with it. I don't know. I feel like the disgust I feel when looking at that stuff is indicative of my sexuality. |

| I'm a female and I'm personally just not into the Yuri genre. I have nothing against lesbians or anything. The genre just doesn't appeal to my tastes, I dislike romance also. |
| Yes. Yes there are. A lot of the people who MAKE yuri are girls. |

I mean my friend who became bisexual was really struggling with it. I don't know. I feel like the disgust I feel when looking at that stuff is indicative of my sexuality. To be completely honest, I can't say...because I've never been attracted to a girl, I can't imagine ever being with one (if that makes sense)- kinda like how you can't really imagine yourself being an old person until you're actually there...yes, that's the analogy I'm going with XD Although if by any chance I was attracted to a girl, I don't it'd bother me. As of right now though, I've only ever been attracted to guys...although I'm rarely attracted to anyone at all. But, yeh, if you're feeling repulsed by it, it's presumably indicative of sexual preferences...but does that work the opposite way around also? Because not being repulsed doesn't necessarily reflect sexuality, right? Kinda confusing...varying degrees of straightness, I suppose...I swear I read an article on that once... Sexuality is obviously a lot more complex that people think- half the time, I don't think there's any point in labelling it at all!. |

| Wasn't yuri written as a genre for a female demographic originally? Think I read that somewhere |

| A lot of yuri is written by girls and last time I saw a poll in the yuri club asking for genders it seemed most of them were girls. |
| I like soft yuri as it is and I think I would/might/ have liked it if I were a girl. =D |

lady_freyja said: TitanAnteus said: Eh really? The only straight girl that I ever knew that liked yuri was a closet bisexual. Honestly... I don't think there'd be many straight girls really like yuri. Think about it like this. As a guy, ff there was a boys love anime that was as cute and fluffy as yuri, would you watch it for the boys love? Probably not. As a straight man that... hmmm... best word... disgust? would still be there. Sorry. But we're speaking about romance here. That genre is about seeing people in love with each others. I have an hard time to understand why someone could be disgusted by a romance, except for moral values (like incest or shota/loli type of romance, for example), or because the romance is unhealthy. I do understand that you have preference about the type of pairing or the couple dynamic, hell, that's even normal. But being disgusted, no. I mean, if you have a gay friend, you'll be disgusted to see him with his boyfriend, seeing them affectionate like any other couple? Because that's basically what we are speaking here. Yes that's exactly right. There are no moral reasons behind it. I'm not religious nor do I think gay people are doing anything wrong. I just really want to look away whenever I see an act of physical intimacy between homosexual people... well... outside of hand holding anyway. I don't know, but as I've grown older I've felt that this feeling is a definitive indicator of my own sexuality. Also, disgust is a strong word, but there's no other word I could use.... maybe aversion? I just don't like seeing it. |
| After being in the manga/anime community I began to tolerate the topic of sexuality. I've taken an interest in same-sex relationships in manga and I'd love to actually get into reading further yuri. |

| I'm a straight girl and I'm ok with yuri as much as I'm ok with yaoi. Not into both of them but don't think they're disgusting either. |
 |
| Well, I hate labeling myself as straight, although I'm more into men. That aside, I don't particularly like yuri as much as I like yaoi, but if were given a chance to watch one, I think I'd still do. I don't really care about gender that much, as long as the relationship itself feels natural or something. |

You see my deal is that if I'm disgusted by something I try and stay away from it. That is to say, there are exceptions. Like if I witnessed a couple popping a ring for each other, or if it was an anniversary or something. But if it's just random acts of intimacy I'd probably look away, because that feeling of disgust wells up in me if I look at it.

I often see people go "how can you not like homosexual romance?" more often than people saying "ughh get your gay stuff out of here." Although I could just be selectively remembering things. |
