Yurib*it is a made up western word. Barbaric western cucks can't comprehend delicate and implicit love between innocent young girls so they're trying to delegitimize the tasteful yuri culture with this term. They aren't Japanese enough to understand the beauty of more than friends less than lovers.

Generally speaking, it's either yuri centric (focused on committed relationships) or light yuri (lesbians flirting but not dating in the traditional sense). Committed relationships are only one flavor of yuri, whereas the majority of yuri is softcore more than friends less than lovers yuri - what newfags call "yuribait". Modern yuri is often more about lighthearted purity instead of homosexual angst.

For example:
Bloom into You: dedicated to feelings between two girls = yuri
New Game: focused on game production but has obvious underlying yurinormative theme = ALSO yuri
Wandering Witch: primarily about Elaina's journey but the MC has multiple female love interests albeit no dating = STILL yuri

Yuri can also exist as PART of other works. Dungeon Meshi is about eating monsters and has a majority of male characters, but the animators clearly still intended to take the time and portray lesbianism to appeal to yuri gaze. Yuri is yuri and as a commonly adored element in anime culture, yuri is not picky about where it appears.

That's the truth nuke for today.

Schizo ritual post because your shitskin brain can’t come up with something new to say.
"Yuribait" is like "yuri subtext", it’s something yuritards made up to pretend their genre is popular.
This also answers OP’s question btw. "Yuribait" is popular because it is in fact not "yuribait", it’s het. And het is popular. That’s literally all there is to it.

>girls holding hands = yuri
Actually retarded. Even in college, I saw girls who I knew were dating guys at the time holding hands with other girls when they were out. It's just one of those things they like to do with their friends. It's like watching two guys dap up and thinking they're fags because of it

It's amusing that non-yurifags complain about yurifags being delusional when they can't even agree about the definition of yuri amongst themselves. Some say that it's any series that has a lesbian crush while others while others make up increasingly esoteric rules that they would never apply to a straight series.

>>
>>286167653

>>
>>286178755
>romantic and/or sexual attraction between girls
So does a one-sided crush count? And of course, there's still the challenge of differentiating between normal/platonic interactions and romantic/sexual ones in certain the edge cases.
>>
>>286177789
Luckily we don’t have to draw that line ourselves, the authors do so themselves when they officially tag and advertise the series
You know, like with any other genre
>>
>>286179621
Are you calling to call a straight MC's relationship unromantic because the series doesn't have romance tag?

Simply put, your point fails because there are both series that contain lesbian romance that aren't advertised as yuri and series advertised as yuri that do not contain explicit lesbian romance. Furthermore, sometimes publishers and authors don't agree on what a series is while others leave it up the viewers to decide if something is yuri or not.
>>
>>286179870
Your first point is a false equivalence fallacy since men getting with women and vice versa is normal. It’s expected to happen to every character by default even if it’s not part of the story.
Your second point is using the incompetence of a few authors as an argument which is retarded. In 99% of cases, something that has yuri will be tagged as yuri and something that is tagged as yuri will indeed have yuri. Again, you don’t see that kind of arguments for any other genre even though improper tagging happens in every genre.
The reality you know deep down but will never accept is that yuri is incredibly niche, and you’re only trying to blur the definition so that you can pretend popular stuff like Madoka, Touhou or GuP is yuri when it was never intended as such. When Japanese writers make girls hold hands they don’t think "this is gay", they think "this is cute". Homosexuality is not a popular subject among any demographic other than retarded western zoomers that are obsessed with it and the western elites that purposefully made them like this. Japan doesn’t give a fuck about it

My first point had nothing to do with normalcy. It was about how we do not limit our descriptions of things based on whether they are officially tagged with it or not. If the MC has a harem, but the series is tagged as harem, you would not hesitate to say the MC does not have a harem because of the lack of the tag.

>something that has yuri will be tagged as yuri and something that is tagged as yuri will indeed have yuri
Again: what counts as "has yuri". One-sided feelings? A romantic relationship? Something in-between? All a tag tells you is what the majority of the work will focus on, but it does not preclude other elements from appearing. Just as a mystery series can have an action scene without the action tag, a mahou shoujo can have a yuri couple without the entire work being yuri.

>when it was never intended as such
Yet, for one of your examples, not only will official magazines publish works that they themselves tag as yuri (Koiiro no Kyoukai) but even their series these magazines don't tag as yuri (Koumakan no Onnatachi) will still have yuri scenes such as pic related. What's even funnier is that some people assured that the former example would have no such yuri, yet ended up being wrong on top it all. So perhaps you are not the best judge the intentions of others here.

>homosexuality is not a popular subject among any demographic
A yuri anime/LN/manga were the 2nd/10th/7th best selling works of 2023/2025/2024. Some of the most popular franchises have yuri side couples and one-sided lesbian feelings. Even beyond yuri, BL is one of the most popular genres for women in Japan, to the level where it equals other heterosexual romance series.

That's strange because I told by a non-yurifag that the be-all-end-all way to tell if something is yuri if it had a yuri tag or not from the official publisher. Almost like there's no universal way to decide it.

That's very unfortunate. It might be better to stop saying things then so you don't get banned.

>>286183317
You got any proof of that?

>>286183400
It's only ever three days at most. Forces me out of this godforsaken place for a bit, too.

Have you tried speaking to the mods directly on #4chan?

>>286183550
How do you know it's the same guy?

>>286183629
Extremely unique posting style.
>>
>>286183579
No, I will try that.

>>286183629
It may not be, for all I know it could be a group of assmad retards.
>>
>>286183671
Can you describe what makes it unique?
>>
>>286183694
>No, I will try that.
The mods are testy about "reporting posts" over IRC. Just say you want clarification on how rules are enforced and explain what happens in these threads.
>>
>>286183671
What does that even mean?

Isn't Mizuki a yuri slayer too? How come you're so fixated for your pretty boys Majima, Shuuichi, and Yuta but get angry easily at the mere sight of Mizuki? He's a pretty boy too. Also Yuta canonically crossdressed at one point. How come he gets a free pass for that while Mizuki doesn't?
