FQ13: Do you like/hate Yuri as a genre? Why?

I don't particularly give it any more favoritism than I do any other genre.

If it's good I read it, if it's bad I don't.

Oh boy... (Gonna copy my answer from my own AMA first and expand a bit)

Well...
I have considered the Yuri fans as an extremely annoying group for a while. Like, preachiness, toxicity, (sometimes completely unironic) misandrism, being unhinged headcanon fools and having the social justice self-righteousness as one of their tools. I've seen these behaviours on this very website. It's just fujoshi, but socially tolerated.

Then I saw the Thing many yurifans complain about being mostly a made up headcanon that they rabidly defend, but isn't really an actual thing outside some niche cases.
So...
I found a funny solution.
Become the ultimate destroyer of Yuri, install GIYC Launchers to put guys inbetween Yuri Couples, make complicated schemes to insert guys inbetween Yuri couples, make traps for those that want to kill guys that come inbetween yuri couples(A thing I have seen several times).

Yuri itself, I'm actually mostly neutral leaning negative about, though I am not particularly interested in it and just don't read it. And IRL Homosexuality, I really don't care, just do what you want, unless: it's illegal && you get caught

Really need to write the Anti-Yuri Manifesto

Yeah, I severely dislike Yuri as a genre. I used to tolerate it in the past, but I never really understood the "Lesbians = Hot" thing. The rest is mostly a result of oversaturation and invasiveness of that genre, as well as the preachiness, toxicity, (sometimes completely unironic) misandrism, being unhinged head canon fools and having the social justice self-righteousness added as a vile bonus.
Also, the few times I checked out Yuri since then, I noticed that the stories seem to treat being part of the genre as an excuse to not have to try being decent, either being boring as hell or using it to justify romanticising some really creepy stuff.

So, in short, it's a mix of not liking the genre much in the first place, but having a much higher dislike due to it spilling over in stuff I read invasively, having a really annoying cult about it and also the parts I did look at (For example, in the manga rating tournament) were either lazily written or unpleasant.

Ironically, in a past discussion, I found that my opinions regarding yuri had quite an overlap with the resident regular yuri fans.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Still need to write the Manifesto, originally planned it for the 5k post and even had a banger entry line for that ("Just as 5000 is in the middle of zero and 10000, a guy belongs in the middle of every yuri couple" or something like that). The temp deletion of the MADE-FOR thread ruined that.

I'm neutral towards it. I've read a few yuri and liked them, but nothing compelled me to seek more of it.

Unofficial QOTD#?????: Do you like/hate Yaoi as a genre? Why?

I like it but I dislike some of the popular formulaic tropes.
Last year I had a fujoshi awakening but I can't go into detail. I'm not an affectionate person nor a man, so in my limited perspective when male characters act overly close (or with a specific animosity) I go "yes... deep inside he wants to kiss that guy."

No particular hates nor likes. Fine with it.

But my awooga side of me says otherwise. Same can be said for yaoi/BL.

Unofficial QOTD#?????: Do you like/hate Yaoi as a genre? Why?

No hate nor likes as well. But a tad leaning to BL. I mean if you look at my profile picture, pretty telling.

Yes I like it Yuri is kinda aspirational for me personally right now. granted I barely pick those series up on my own mainly taking recs from friends.

It's more dislike than hate, while it isn't exactly my cup of tea i do read some if i like the story or it's very subtle (in this case practically non-existent).
Also.
Kill shippers. Behead shippers. Roundhouse kick a shipper into the concrete. Slam dunk a shipper baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy shippers. Defecate in a shippers food. Launch shippers into the sun. Stir fry shippers in a wok. Toss shippers into active volcanoes. Urinate into a shippers gas tank. Judo throw shippers into a wood chipper. Twist shippers heads off. Report shippers to the IRS. Karate chop shippers in half. Curb stomp shippers. Trap shippers in quicksand. Crush shippers in the trash compactor. Liquefy shippers in a vat of acid. Eat shippers. Dissect shippers. Exterminate shippers in the gas chamber. Stomp shipper skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate shippers in the oven.

Long strip, no doubt about it.

Whoever this thief is, they sound like they know what they are talking about. Also I didn't get pinged.
