We have stuff like I'm in Love with the Villainess, where a popular mainstream show finally has a girl just saying "yup, I'm gay" instead of monologuing about the strange, unexplainable feelings she has for one person who just happens to be a girl and isn't that funny?...Feels like an understandable push-back against the like, literal decades of yuri being almost exclusively cute fluffy chaste romance.
I assume she means socially or mentally.Bring her down? She's at your level, bro
