    What's your view on Yuri?

    Figured I'd post a funny story on yuri here. So, in Sailor Moon, for the few who don't know, Sailor Uranus (Haruka) and Sailor Neptune (Michiru) are canonly together, according to the Japanese version, with Haruka going full bifauxnen, and looking nearly like a guy (which is played for laughs)...

    Oh, that's just true though. Japan has something of a problem with it, and its part of the reason lolis sell. I'm not saying liking lolis implies pedophilia, I'm saying that pedos like lolis.

    What's your view on Yuri?

    So I'm not condemning you for liking it. I'm just noting why I don't. My distrust of anime on this issue isn't that I think the writer is a pedo, it's that I don't trust I'll end up seeing something that would gross me out. There is obviously nothing morally wrong with enjoying simulated things...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    The first sentence is a good thing. The second I don't care about at all. Japan has a habit of trying to normalize pedophila (its age of consent is 13, for one example). I don't trust its anime at all on this topic. The perceived prudishness on my part stems, as far as I can tell, from my being...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    Oh, if she's just petite, sure. I haven't watched it, and am just reading off of the description from the wiki, where it describes her as looking like a young girl, and from what I saw, she basically did. Note, I'd have no problem if this wasn't a romance anime in which she is the target of...

    Calling the Harem genre niche and using as argument the most popular anime (even outside of normal anime fans) still fails as an argument though.

    What's your view on Yuri?

    All you've done is look at the most popular examples. Of course the most popular stuff is on average of better quality, especially when one uses google analytics, which would highlight the stuff that is popular outside of weebs. But this is irrelevant to the question at hand. We weren't talking...

    These are anime girls, so at worst, one will be bifauxnen.

    What's your view on Yuri?

    Oh, I still watch anime, but I have to be careful to avoid these things.

    What's your view on Yuri?

    Huh, I'll try it. Is it yuri, or is this a more off topic recommendation?

    What's your view on Yuri?

    The difference, I suppose, is that the specifics of how the government works isn't central to the story. It's just used to handwave away problems. In contrast, the circumstances of the romance story are important to the romantic subplot. Also, not only are they gross, the weirdness is overdone...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    For my own enjoyment, I can separate fiction from reality. I like warhammer stuff, even though every faction there is awful, etc. It's just that when a tv show has a romantic angle with rape, incest, pedophilia, or NTR, without ever actually analyzing the deep moral fuckuptitude of this, it...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    No, I know there are weirder fetishes. Trust me, I know this well. I have weirder fetishes that I have acted on IRL (I'd hardly qualify as the local degenerate if I didn't). I don't have an issue with the weirdness, it's the moral wrongness of these 'fetishes' if done IRL that I have an issue...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    Pretty much. At this point in history, gay women are just as likely to do X as a straight woman. But there are a lot of cultural memes saying the opposite, and these beliefs aren't some recent thing. It's just that the beliefs used to be negative, but now don't have that connotation. For...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    I think it has to do with power frequently being associated with being more masculine. This applies to girl characters as well, which is the problem. A good author can handle this quite well (George R.R. Martin for example). But bad writers use crutches, and lesbian = strong, empowered female is...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    I'm not assuming that, the study you cited as proof assumed that. If you want to toss the study entirely and try again, that's fine with me. So there's two things to unpack here. First, a lot of homosexual (and straight) abuse of children is actually done by people who are straight when...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    They do though. Like a lot of different and varied homosexual behaviors, from just trying to have sex, to having full on life mates. It varies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals Some animals are exclusively homosexual even. ... So again, there's a lot wrong here...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    ... No, it really doesn't. It maybe causes a little, but not much. Given that a vast number of non-human animals exhibit homosexual behaviors, despite not having the mental capacity to understand abuse, this is not a good explanation. Also, a citation on 'much' of homosexuals existing because of...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    Nope, as a mathematician, it's completely identical. Bi-sexual= attracted to two genders. Pan-sexual= attracted to all genders. These become synonyms when we acknowledge that there are only 2 genders. Nothing fake here. Man, that's a lot of assumptions you make there. First, just because...

    What's your view on Yuri?

    Pansexual isn't fake, it's just a synonym for being bisexual that tends towards woker people using it. But the fact that you think lesbianism is fake is hilarious to me, given the number of married lesbians. Lesbians 'switching' is because of the woke hijacking attempt on the phrase, trying to...
