>>4501065actually confirmed some of my headcannons, nice
>>4501158Been getting a lot of rupatomo lately, the only thing that pair now needs is either more couple merch or the movie.
>>4501288Yeah, we've both had some old artists for it wake up and some new ones pop up lately
They are meant for each other.
>>4464532YeahI vibe with Ritsuko being gay, and Misato not knowing how to say no, though. A little unknowingly unrequited. Ritsuko's too much of an autist to read Misato's false enthusiasm, Misato's too much of a people pleaser to actually speak her mind in a clear enough way for Ritsuko to understand.And Ritsuko has tunnel vision for Misato, so doesn't notice that technician, I think her name is Maya, is actually properly in love with her. If she did, they would be very happy together, but, alas.
>>4501310In my opinion Misato would be gay too. She seems like the type who would prefer a woman, but due to her daddy issues she went for a guy that replaces the "man" she lost. Meanwhile Ritsuko is projecting her mothers desire onto herself. Not because she likes Gendo, but because her mother had a thing for her.Thus they may have shown their feelings for each other while being drunk in college, but due to their trauma they went back to these two guys.Though I wish Maya would get recognized by her crush too...and then there is Rei, Asuka and in retcon-city Mari...let's just say, in a perfect world, they would all fuck each other

akebi became yuri before watamote, shit is grim
Asuka should fuuka tomoko already
This was posted here before; a ton of replies saw nothing strange about it & disagreed fervently with anons who found it goofy. I wonder if I'm missing something, since I looked at it from every angle I could find:>"Well, you can enjoy a story without being sexually attracted to the characters, and it's also possible to only find stylized men attractive but not real-world men"Yes but there's a difference between a gay woman or straight man liking Banana Fish, or someone whose brain is affected differently by anime stylization, and the context of this scene: "a dedicated fujoshi who identifies as a lesbian, goes to BL events but never touches yuri".>Well a lot of yuri IS based around male fantasies that women find stupid or grossYet a ton of it isn't, and the specific brand of supposed "male fantasy" this page focuses on ("cheap/exaggerated/unrealistic" eroticism or "simplified, easy" romance) is common in a lot of yuri by female authors with big or even majority female fanbases. In fact, it doesn't even make sense for fujoshi; when I see female BL artists branch out from yaoi to yuri (whether it be genderbent BL pairs or straight-up lesbian ships), to an audience overwhelmingly made up of other women, these elements that supposedly drive "lesbian fujoshi" away from yuri can be just as, if not more "shameless" than yuri by & for men. "Stupid overly malebrained yuri" exists, but what truly makes it that isn't even well-represented here; and if it's not about gender (even though the page specifically makes the connection) and simply a matter of "I want more down-to-earth stuff"... that exists too.I guess it could make sense for an extremely rare type of person who fits a variety of hyper-specific criteria, from unusual taste to ignorance of yuri, but it's unlikely to apply to the vast majority of self-identified "lesbian fujoshi" vs the simpler explanation of "they're actually bisexual" or "they are repressed on some level". Am I close-minded for thinking this?
>>4501297I think the explanation itself is a bit odd, but it's really not that big of a deal to like something versus not.There's definitely some interesting space for discussion, specifically for the band of lesbian woman who enjoy yaoi but not men, and straight women that enjoy yuri, but for the most part, outside of that, this just falls into "There's damn near almost as many reasons for a particular kink as there are people that have it". What one person gets out of yuri isn't the same as what another gets, what that person gets out of yaoi isn't going to the the same as what the first person gets. I can agree with the claim of a lot of yuri made by men has a bit of an off taste to it, but the same thing can be said of a lot of yaoi made by women, from the perspective of gay men. And don't even get me started on fucking omegaverse shit. But, there's people for whom that specific taste is what they're after, whether or not it intersects with their more grounded expectations of reality.
>>4501300>I can agree with the claim of a lot of yuri made by men has a bit of an off taste to it, but the same thing can be said of a lot of yaoi made by women, from the perspective of gay menWell, that's part of the point being made in that page: "I'm fine with unrealistic shit if it's not my orientation". But to that, I'm gonna quote one of the anons who thought the page was silly:>Do heteros read BL because they can't relate to the fakeness or how it would never be that easy or romantic irl as it is in every single harem anime or Shoujo manga? No, of course not. It is FICTION. It doesnt need to be realistic. This has never and never will be an argument.>The idea that you cant enjoy something because it is actually relevant to your sexuality is contradictory. It's just an excuse.>I understand that you can read anything as long as it's entertaining. I agree. Even I read het stories sometimes. But being a FUJO implies an investment that goes beyond normal and saying you dont read stuff that is actually relevant to your sexuality at all... that is just batshit insane. That reeks of either self-repression, being in the closet or being not as gay as they say.As for>this just falls into "There's damn near almost as many reasons for a particular kink as there are people that have it"The way I see it, a reasonable explanation would be something like this...>actual lesbian>into yaoi for non-sexual reasons OR only attracted to anime men>manga reader invested enough in otaku culture to be a fujoshi and attend BL panels at conventions in person, yet ignorant of the variety of yuriComment too long.

>>4501303I also wonder if the female author of the OP comic sees *herself* as having "unusual, male-brained taste" given a quick glance at her Pixiv bookmarks revealed Ayane's Makikomi. You know, the completely unrealistic, exaggerated, porn-for-porn's-sake giant-boobed woman and fox-loli yuri one.And to elaborate on my point about the page's flawed idea of "male perspectives vs fujo perspectives" in the OP: it's not uncommon for fujoshi to draw stuff that loos like this, and for other fujoshi to enjoy it. This is immensely more "ridiculous" (and by the standards of what constitutes "male gaze eroticism" in the OP manga page, much more "male gaze" than) most of what dedicated male yuri fans are into. Homura Subaru is pretty much THE "male boob porn yuri artist" and has never drawn anything as exaggerated as what you often find when fujos genderbend their yaoi pairings or branch out into more "legit" yuri pairings.
>>4501306Genuinely there's boatloads of these. Without the shoujo/josei aesthetics and the fact that it's genderbent yaoi ships, anything that looks like this would be unquestionably labeled as "male gaze" by the overwhelming majority of fujoshi who criticize yuri for being that - especially if they're going by the standards of the OP comic.
Classic stuff
>>4489393You are intentionally missing the point. Shipping is irrelevant, I am saying that calling subtext anime proper yuri works is a lie. I am saying that popular ships based on shallow as fuck source material are terrible, but the main point was to rebuke anon acting like said yuribait/subtext anime is actually totally yuri because there was some kind of incel otaku joke made. Genuinely claiming Bocchi is into girls because of such minor bullshit is a stretch, but calling it a yuri relevant anime is even dumber.

I googled “how gay are girls’ slumber parties” and the AI refused to give me an answer, when all the other results were clearly designed to scare adults. What are they hiding?
>>4496931More than 0, less than you'd hopeOf the dozen or so I had, two of them had any gayness whatsoever. One of them was a girl who masturbated after she thought everyone else had gone to sleep, can't guarantee this was gay but it's likely under the circumstances, and the only reason I know is I sleep awfully at anyone else's house, which also means I can reasonably confidently say this was a one off occurrence, even for her. Can't guarantee, mind, I did actually sleep a few times. The other, we were swapping between a few different anime, someone put on Strike Witches, which was gayer than anyone expected, we teased the girl who brought it for like ten minutes then forgot about it. And by tease, I don't mean we all grabbed her titties and fingered her until she came everywhere, I mean we called her a slut while she was incredibly uncomfortable and insisting she had no idea, which, I think we all believed, but that wasn't the point. There's your gay sleepover fantasies, my friend. Maybe I'm an outlier. If anything, I think I would be to the positive, since, y'know, I WAS gay, and was sneaking peeks when I could, and thinking about things, and I know at least two of the others turned out some kind of not-straight, including the masturbator (but not the strike witches girl, I think, to the best of my knowledge, I do not maintain active interactions with these people). But even I didn't masturbate there or anything like that. I WISH we had hot pillow fights and group masturbation sessions, or whatever else the fuck. But nah.
>>4501304>masturbated when everyone else was asleepI thought this was a super dumb contrivance only done in manga/doujins.You should have rolled over and fucked her. Doing so always works out well in those manga. yes I'm joking

>>4480407>>4487068AgreeIt's an incredibly rare instance of the eroticism and the fantasy not being super super played up, or that doesn't rely on some paper thin contrivance. It's really raw and sincere in a way that almost nothing like it ever is, and I respect it a lot for that.

>>4501119>>4501137My main issue with Firefly is the game treats her like a lover interest but has yet to write why she loves Stelle. She's only slightly better than Cyrene that loves Stelle for 0 reason other than waifu. I don't get why these two are pushed with Stelle when March is such a better option. Personally Cyrene should've been paired with Phainon or someone else whole Firefly should've been paired with Robin or something.
>>4501154Love interest*
>>4501154We dont have the entire past of stelle with the stellaron hunters yet. Maybe we get to find out that in 4.0 if that ever happens now
>>4501161The problem lies with the fact that there's no point to the secrecy. They waited so long that there's really no point in telling us now.
