Basically they turned a yuri webthing about a girl watching other yuri couples into a romcom about a guy watching yuri couples together with another girl who was into him. Though the main issue is that they tried to promote it as a yuri work, which ended with them being flowed with people calling them out in the release day, the author trying to explain himself by saying it was a work to teach men to love yuri and then the next day the publisher officially making an statement the series was canceled.

>>288507016

I recall him specifically said that the novel was his idea. Bro literally took all the blame for himself. Whether if he was forced to or not, no idea. And it wasn't just with the yurifag girl who watched over yuri couples in the original web series that he got teased with. He got teased with MULTIPLE different girls after the author made up some retarded excuse for the all girls school to be a mixed school. It was a full blown harem romcom slop.

>>288507246
To be fair publishers always force the responsibility on authors, don't get me wrong I am not really defending him, just saying the publisher is the one who fucked hard here, even if the yuri LN market back then was close to non-existent, you can't be this retarded and don't basic market research.

And thanks for the context, for sure this series get worse every time someone updates the story.

I have no idea what that is since you can easily tell from the title and cover that it's either man-getting-between-the-yuri or Maki style creepy voyourism so it obviously doesn't interest me, and I'm not a controversy chasing twitter tranny. I'm sure you must be very proud about that time you shat your pants in protest over it though.

If bookmarking het of your yuri characters is a universally accepted behavior from an author, you can surely point out a lot more than 2 times this had happened, one of which is quickly swept under the rug and no one gives a shit anymore.

Trues, but what's not normal for girls in media is to never show attraction to guys. When you combine the physical/emotional intimacy and the lack thereof with guys, it becomes obvious what authors are going for most of the time.

I've spent way too much money requesting yuri on skeb over the last few months, so here's my takeaways:

- Read the rules and note page before sending requests. The system is pretty dumb and will send you to an extra admin review for things as simple as mentioning a date.
- It's not that hard to get requests accepted. Note that some artists won't accept copyrighted characters, and some can't even draw characters from their own manga.
- Points are easier to use because they refund immediately. However, you are stuck with them if you buy them.
- Expect requests to take the full time. Deliveries minutes before the deadline are common.
- Skeb is essentially a gambling website, but I was happy with the quality overall. Only a handful of cases where I felt the artists could have put in more effort and no real disasters.

Anyway, if you are one of those people constantly saying we need more of whatever specific kind of yuri, well, be the change you want to see.

It should be possible to create a multi-agent system for that. You can have an agent for translating, an agent for cultural nuance, an agent for proof-reading, and so on. This was one of my side project ideas but I've been too lazy to start on it.

The other day I read an article covering how the new generation of artists is making absolutely miserable subversive shit and nobody creates hopeful media anymore. There were theories it's because the world they're raised in is so bleak and full of tension that never explodes so you don't get that surge of relief and optimism like post-WW2. The closest you get to hopeful is "comfort media" designed to never end and never shake things up too dramatically like your favorite sitcom, but even those are full of unhealthy characters now. In a way seeing fucked up characters do fucked up things can give a sense of catharsis.

It's not like Madoka was particularly bleak either. It ends with everyone reviving from the dead and Madoka pulling a Jesus, becoming a symbol of hope staunching the innate suffering of the world. Everything post-TV series catapulted it into comfort media territory.
>>
>>288513025
I don't understand how Rebellion is "comfort media" when it ended with Homura becoming a devil, usurping god, and laying the groundwork for an inevitable conflict between them.

Means nothing because he wrote the script in 2014.

I said the series in general, the countless spin-offs and gacha and movies included.
>and laying the groundwork for an inevitable conflict between them
But in Rebellion's case nothing about it was finite and simply kicked the can down the road for their inevitable reconciliation or breakup that will still never conclusively tear their relationship apart. Urobuchi talks a big game but he's not that hardcore.

The thing is there was an actual yuri LN that came out on the same day as that one by the same publisher Dengeki, but it received way less promotion, or at least the less attention initially due to the shitstorm that other novel got. It's that fat AdaShima I forgot the name of that is receiving a manga adaptation. Initially, before it came out, due to that whole unrelated fiasco, it was a bit under fire because one of the girls "liked" a boy. Fervor was high and all. But after it was released, people quickly realized that that whole het thing was just a lie to get the Adachi character to pay attention and make a move on the Shimamura character.

Final post. It's no coincidence that 2 "yuri" (one really is yuri but still) gets released on the same day back then. While it was true the yuri novel scene was miniscule compared to now, AdaShima was doing number back then, and with Teren releasing arioto and watanare back in 2018 and 2019, I think Dengeki was experimenting with yuri to see what sticks. Let's not forgot, they published YagaKimi and Even If It's Just Once, I Regret It, they are no stranger to yuri by then. To say they didn't do their due diligence isn't true imo, and I think that LN fiasco is just a byproduct of that experimentation.

I don't think it's so much people were out for blood but more the core yuri fanbase just didn't know what to think about it at the time, we were having new publishers and magazines who weren't as experienced with yuri and a large influx of new authors no one heard of, I remember talking to one anon many years ago on /u/, not sure if it was before of after this situation and saying to him the market was going to grow so much we would inevitable have publishers and authors trying to test the boundaries of the genre and in the process releasing things that would either be divisive successes or big flops. And to be clear, this isn't the only work like this that was released, the difference is that the ones that came after were not promoted in the same way, you have for example that very egregious work with the male MC who turns invisible or is some type of ghost I don't really remember and together with another girl helps yuri couples get together, while you know, "accidentally" watching the girls undressing and groping them and I don't think works like this are born of sentiment of "breaking the yuri" but rather either the editor or the author honestly thinking the male audience wants to self insert and touch the girls without breaking their romance, more recently we have this ecchi work of the female MC watching other girls and using it as masturbation fuel, except all the fantasies were obvious analogies for the girls getting fucked by a guy, only more recently the author actually realized people want to see fantasies about yuri and actual interaction between the characters,
