[hazzack]

you know what they say: art is gae, therefore yuri is art.

 

[pandascepter]

@hazzack

Thanks for the wisdom, oh, Sir duckity.

@Halo @Pandascepter @Richman

Exactly like Ichikawa and Yamada.


Also, that's not my only criticism of Yuri, but that's what got the ball rolling, so to say.


Really, my criticism is that it's usually kinda forced, especially when at certain times it feels like the author has thrown in the character for the purpose of fanservice and drama and nothing more, and it doesn't speak to anything about their character or develop them in an interesting way. Instead we get the stereotypical "crazy psycho lesbian" that is a yandere for FMC or idolizes another girl instead of actually loving her in a romantic or healthy way that only exists to conflict with MC for the sake of love triangle.

If I were to cite a yuri ship that I think does it well, I'd probably say that Yutaka from Pashiri na Boku to Koisuru Banchou-san is a good character in that she is proactive but not annoying, and actively is not just there to create drama but to help the main character progress in his struggles so she can find parallels in her own issues. She's the rational, level-headed member of the group and so infers what every misunderstanding is instantly and generally helps people with their problems, which means her conflict is mostly internal and is much more interesting than what you usually get from mangas, which just insert a girl that has no background and is obsessed with the main girl for no reason. (I see you, Komi-san...)

Matsuri, her crush, I have issues with narratively, but Yutaka makes up for it mostly.

_{Also I do have my criticisms of how the writing in the last two seasons of Rick and Morty has gone downhill, but that's neither here nor there}

Yuri is only good when i wanna bust a quick nut and I'm on the go.

 

[Tamerlane]

Isn't yuri just foreplay at best though?





@varrock1

 

[pandascepter]

@Tamerlane
Yeah, true..... _{maybe he talkim about the H.}

Yuri is great, but with a slow phase story.

e.g

How did this thread get back on track? Someone make a roadblock with chibis

 

[Tamerlane]

People are now trying to make a girl that was shown for one panel in Kanjo Mo Kanjo into a yuri thing.



* Sigh *

 

[Lex79]

Now that we are declaring war on yuri, can we petition for the complete erasure of psycho lesbian love rivals and gropey friends from shounen manga? I hate when I start reading a straight ecchi series only to find that a large part or even the majority of the fanservice is girl on girl.

 

[Tamerlane]

@Lex79 YES! Those are the worse fucking tropes because NO ONE likes them. It makes lesbian characters into molesters and love triangles that make no sense aside from getting some fetishists off and just inducing some random eye-rolls that break the pacing of the story.
