Do gay and bisexual men like to watch/read/consume fiction centered around non-straight women?
does anyone actually like yuri other than straight men?
>>42724570>straight menYou mean trannies. Literal 100% overlap. If you like yuri you're a tranny.

>>42724637>The first magazine to study the demographics of its readers was Yuri Shimai (2003–2004), who estimated the proportion of women at almost 70%, and that the majority of them were either teenagers or women in their thirties who were already interested in shōjo and BL manga. In 2008, Ichijinsha made a demographic study for its two magazines Comic Yuri Hime and Comic Yuri Hime S, the first being targeted to women, the second to men. The study revealed that women accounted for 73% of Comic Yuri Hime readership, while in Comic Yuri Hime S, men accounted for 62%. The publisher noted, however, that readers of the latter magazine also tended to read the first, which led to their merger in 2010. Regarding the age of women for Comic Yuri Hime, 27% were under 20 years old, 27% were 20–24 years old, 23% were 25–29 years old, and 23% over 30 years old. As of 2017, the ratio of men to women is said to have shifted to about 6:4, thanks in part to the Comic Yuri Hime S merge and the mostly male readership YuruYuri brought with it.

>>42724570Both non-straight men and women are overrepresented in yuri and yaoi fandoms, respectively.>In the 1989-1994 period, 4.53% of men and 3.61% of women self-reported homosexual sex ever, which grew to 8.18% of men and 8.74% of women in the 2010-2014 period.>Report on the Yuri Fandom Demographic Survey>The results for gender were roughly as I expected.

Curiously, both of them identified as heterosexual, but "did not resist being in relationship with male".
>>42724570There are women who do but they’re all fujos for whom yuri is basically bonus yaoi but with girls
>>42724996Sad.
>>42724996I think its cause lesbians experience empathy and can watch stuff that does not center them but to a moid brain this is absolutely foreign concept
>>42728652>>42728666I am sorry :(
>>42728666Nice trips.
>>42724554I don't like live action stuff.
>>42724554i dont really care for it but sometimes the drama is fun. hes right though i have zero desire to participate in fandom spaces.
>>42728666Most mlm content is made by and for women.
>>42724554gay and bisexual men are actually outside getting dick, fandom shit is for deadbed lesbians with too much free time
>>42731240What about animation and comic books?
