Yuri is absolutely dogshit. Change my mind.

[Tamerlane]

The Boy's Abyss one makes sense, and strengthens the work because it adds layers to it and makes someone we once thought of just an asshole with no redeeming qualities into quite the sympathetic character.

Takamine's one pisses me off because it was one huge farace and MC is still going to act as Takamine's buttboy now and she'll never learn or grow as a character because of it @immortalartisan

@Tamerlane.
I am very blind because i didn't see that while reading Boy's Abyss. Since you're trustworthy, i'll take what you said next chapter we see them.

I hope that in Takamine the author introduces Perfect Deredere Girl^TM and tries to win MC only for the points you talked earlier get used.

 

[Teddy]

I propose a counter argument.

I read the summary and looked at the cover for takmine one. It looks to be meant to be purely fanservice.

The author in this case clearly doesn't want blood to be diverted to your brain when they want it to be diverted somewhere else. Thus bad writing and mindless tropes/fetishes are necessary.

Due to the difference in motivations ofcourse the characters would come out differently

 

[ColorfulSoy]

Slow Start is a good example of a good "Yuri" in quotation.

@Teddy
speaking of the plot, yes it's trash just like what you said and in additional to your argument fetishes are necessary in some part of it, just to make you think it has a plot in it, but in reality it's just a repetitive shit.

Also i find this 2019 article interesting, you should read it too.

@Richman
Chapters 16 and 17.

It's very, very subtly implied but if you look at the dialogue, especially in chapter 16, you start to put the pieces together, so to speak

 

[Tamerlane]

I just realized but it's funny to me how most people in this thread come in expecting some irrational hatred but it just ends up as a mostly civil conversation.


Still have yet to meet some crazy yuri fans tho

You're scaring them with your walls of text.

 

[Tamerlane]

@Halo You clearly mean I'm owning them with FACTS and LOGIC ^TM

 

[hazzack]

i thought Facts and Logic against Yuris^© is already copyrighted by xoxYuriloverxox.
they may lost the argument, but they still can win under the law

@Tamerlane

FACTS and LOGIC ™

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

Inb4 Tamerlane is actually @totallynotmike's alt after he went through a character arc and decided to speak against the yuri fandom more rationally.

 

[Tamerlane]

Who the fuck is that and why does he have 9,000+ views? What shit did I miss the memo on? @bigtiddyoneesan

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@Tamerlane
From my understanding, he was a user that would often stir up controversy a while back, particularly due to his repeated bashing of yuri manga and the fanbase surrounding it. You can find some of his posts by searching this into Goggle.

A similar user to kronix, in that he was notorious rather than just well-known. (As a side note, kronix is actually the most-viewed non-uploader Member/Contributer, with totallynotmike coming in second.)

Another thread where everyone is so hung up on other people getting so hung up on other people getting hung up on a side ship that may or may not sail.

 

[rkkn]

this is 2 months old tho


Anyway yuri is like isekai: Amazing if done well and good in principle, but frequently rubbish.
