@darklight firstly the comment before mine was only a small selection of mangas not a great overall representation, so I have decided to go through all the gb titles on this website to make solid statistics (note the tally does not include ones where the protagonist switches back at the end, ones I haven’t read that I can’t tell from a quick skim of the description and/or the last chapter which they are, ones that were dropped or are incomplete without a clear indication of which way they will go if either and ones with no English translation what’s so ever) I am also pretty sure that’s I missed at least a few hetro while I am confident I did not miss any yuri which would slightly screw the results towards yuri appearing to be a higher percentage
Hetro mangas
Atari Nikki - Onnanoko ni Nacchau Hanashi (there’s only a few jumbled chapters of this so i can’t be sure but they accept being a boy’s girlfriend in the first chapter translated so I’m counting it)

Glass Shoes
Balance Policy
Strange Mansion

Ok so I will openly admit I was pretty off on my estimations however I know exactly why that happened, going through the list 16 or 50% of the “yuri” I included are 1 or more of these 3 things 1 the yuri/shoujo ai is only at the very end 2 it just barely passes by my standards eg ore ga yuri 3 it’s my speculation and no definitive yuri/ shoujo has actually happened yet, if we only include yuri/shoujo ai manga which have actually developed a yuri/shoujo ai relationship in any meaningful way it’s about 22% of the mangas I included which of course is close to my original estimation (I am aware some of the hetro manga I’ve included on the list also fits the 3 “issues” I listed but it’s definitely a notably lower percentage of them and if you must insist I can get the exact percentage)
so I hope you can at least somewhat see where yuri gb fans are coming from now
And one last thing about the ranma stuff never did you specify you were talking about the Japanese fanbase, I know nothing of the Japanese fan base and everything I said was based on what I’ve seen of the western fan base so we may in different ways both be right
This whole thing started because you said this “, I have no idea where this idea that GB characters always go for men comes from, it's very rare actually” claiming hetro was rare (which insinuates yuri gb is much more common) really annoyed me and probably
@xaelath as well, you can claim yuri gg isn’t uncommon if you want but don’t go claiming hetro is rare at the same time.
