Late, but so true though. I always avoid the straight girls that read problematic BL and when they see anything gay irl they go "Oh my BL/Yaoi heart" and shit like that.You're right. She liked her but didn't like the idea of her real life feelings and relationships being coined as "Yuri." She viewed that term as being belittling and objectifying when used to describe real people. We saw how our MC literally did treat the real girls at the school like manga characters in her fantasies and that's the kind of thing Mika didn't like. So, she responded with that infamous quote because she was attacking the use of the word "Yuri" and how unreal it was. All this without knowing that it might turn off our MC. Because obviously Mika didn't know that our MC was gay then (and vice versa). It's unfortunate for both of them but at least they've reconnected in some way.
But MC did that cuz of the actions of Mika.You're right. She liked her but didn't like the idea of her real life feelings and relationships being coined as "Yuri."

Really, is there anything gayer than questioning kids clumsily stepping on each other's toes as they simultaneously grapple with the concept of being gay?Whew, this is actually REALLY close to. How it kinda FELT to be a nerdy, figuring shit out gay kid... not really knowing real words for things, or how to sort out feelings. Except for me it was with yaoi....
....and then I turned out to be a boy. Whoops!!!!!! Even more confusing to sort out in high school....
I was telling myself for most of our marriage "this constant reiteration totally isn't a red flag of insincerity".I can’t keep track of how many times my wife and I say it per day.
