Why is yuri harem such an underrepresented genre?

Because it goes against the concept of pure yuri.

>>147158100
because its a sub-genre of a sub-genre

Romance>Yuri>Harem-Yuri.

Plus Harems are really only around for male power fantasies.

Needs more sex.

>>147158100
There's not much yuri to begin with and there's not much reason to have one girl at the center of affection instead of a more complicated arrangement of potential ships between the characters

>>147158100
Has it ever been done well?
I have problems thinking of how the MC would be constructed to become a harem protag since typically they are some level of awkward/beta around their harem members.

As yuri becomes more mainstream and the bottom of the het-harem barrel gets harder to scrape every season, the dawn of the yuri harem is surely nearly upon us

>>147158514
Think Kampfer but with the MC not being a gender-swapped man for an example of what a good yuri harem could be like. Since "he" spent 90% of that show as a girl anyway it basically already is a yuri harem

>>147158514
It also needs a superhigh level of obtuseness from the MC who simply cannot recognize the obvious attraction of the harem-girls towards him, or in this case about yuri-harem, her.
This is what makes most harem shows frustrating.
But with no retardation (in this case, I don't mean being retarded, but the element of slowing the story down), the show would be over too fast.
Then again, hilariously enough, the way most of the writers of harem shows try to drag harem stories out is to make the MC retarded.
What would be superfrustrating when watching males do it (dude, fuck those girls who lust after your dick already) might actually work with girls being lusted after by girls because of the funny lesbian-archetypes.

There's a yuri harem airing this season.

Because yuri fans either want cute pure girls or drama fest with suffering, neither works with a harem.

Alma and Ele are only friends with Saya, and Stella considers her her second mum.

And why the fuck should we give two shits what "yuri fans" want? There's no need to appeal to traditional yuri sensibilities when yuri harem is a subset of the wider harem genre, not the yuri genre.

>>147159728
Taroumaru of the dead.

>>147158514
I was hoping Cross Ange was going to be a yuri harem, but then it turned to dog shit.

>>147158100
Because you can barely tell who is supposed to be the protagonist in that situation.

Heck, that looks less of a harem and more of a aftermatch of lesbian orgy.

>>147158100
The look on the redhead's face is fucking killing me.
>Awww yeahhh, long as I got muh bitches, I don't need nothing else, just macking and relaxing

>>147158100
Are there a lot of yaoi harems? I think it's because people who interested in those genres aren't in there for self-inserting but for relationships. Any cute girls doing cute things show can suffice as shipping bait which harem essentially is.

>>147158100
Is this actually a yuri harem?

You can self-insert into whatever you want, I'm just saying that most yurifans won't do it because they care about couples not waifus.

>>147160604
Okay sure, but what point are you trying to make here? Who cares if yuri fans don't like it, they're such a tiny niche market their option can be ignored.

>>147160670
Why would they make it a yuri harem then? A regular should be enough.

>>147160597
Is the normal anime as turbolewd as the specials make it look like?

>>147160739
Because regular harem has been done to death, and making it a yuri gives us another cute girl to watch.

In the replies, you can see some names of those characters being dropped.
Try to search for them on google by putting all the names on the search field. Some of the links will lead you to MyAnimeList where this anime is indeed listed, others on fireden-archive where it shows the name of the show being discussed on /a/.

I can also help you further by adding that one of the girls is named Elel, and not just Ele.

Harems in general are dying, I don't see why would you try it with something kinda niche as yuri

Fujos don't give a shit about yuri, since they're by definition interested in shows featuring hot d00dz. They want to see guys doing hot and cute stuff for female pleasure.

The one demographic that yuridanishis must always fear and bow before like brave little peons are male hetero waifufags, who outnumber them by a bajillion to one.

I like harem because I can self insert at least at a subconscious level. I don't like Yuri (at least not in the same way) because I can't. Yuri harem would have the same problem.

>>147163569
Yuri is fine. Being a yurifag is okay as long as they also respect normal waifufags lusting over the cute girls.

Being an annoying /u/-tard who whines about the existence of any male at all and repeating that fact over and over again is when people start drawing the line and pushing back.
That's when they must go back to the red board and stay out.

>>147164390
Man I've seen people calling the girls in Yuru Yuri of all things straight, and entire threads destroyed by people complaining about yuri while we only posted a piece of fanart, we really aren't the only ones to blame

>Pick any harem
>Replace MC with a female version
>Personality and everything else stays the same

Tell me it wouldn't work. Harem MCs are so one dimensional replacing them with a potato would work.

>>147164862
There's a picture like that but it's with a walking dick instead, also it features Dante from the Devil May Cry series

>>147158100

There are more good yuri harems than normal harems.

Koihime was great and got 3 seasons + few OVA.

>>147164862

It's funny because generic harem VN's that replaced the male with a girl did much better than standard adaptations.

In most cases, standard het harems are bad enough. Harem is just a terrible genre in general.

>>147164605
Yurifags have a hard time for now on /a/ because of Mugino, other shitposters who make bait threads and then exalt the virtue of a male-less society and going on for hundreds of posts about it, and of course the Madoka-fags who make the most autistic threads seen on /a/ in recent times with the anticrackkun starting a several hundred post-war with other tripfags just because someone posted a fanart of two girls being cute together not approved in a combination by ACK, which is also spilling over to Nanoha-threads, surpassing hetero-waifu shipping wars by an order of magnitude not to be believed. The Euphonium-threads with the eternal question about if it's yuribait or not are also definitely not helping.
In short, it's always the extremist's fault for making it more shit for the moderate fans of a thing.

Ange Vierge-threads are perfectly fine and accepted on /a/ because everyone sees it as the silly comedic yuri-fanservice show that it is, and its fans are not barging in threads of non-yuri shows shitposting about how those shows suck and would be better if it were all females only like in Ange Vierge.

Who knows, perhaps in one year or so, things will have normalized a little bit, and yurifags can co-exist again with waifufags. As long as they of course know their place in the hierarchy.

>>147165966
Following current trends, in one year /a/ will be nothing but wall-to-wall waifufagging and 'i want to do x to y.'

>>147165966
I agree with most of what you said but this hierarchy thing is stupid shows like Nanoha and Madoka pander way more to us than to you (might even say the yurifag fanbase is way bigger in those kind of shows than the waifu one)

>>147166206
I hope so, this rampant gay shipping faggotry just invites underage b& tumblrinas in. Most of it is fanfiction and both yurifags and fujos have their own board for it.

>>147166898
So saying ''my wife Chino is so cute'' is not a form of fanfiction?

>>147164326
>not being able to self insert in yuri
Grow a bigger imagination.

>>147167008
It's as retarded as saying "Cocoa, please" in reply, but it's not as intrusive as projecting gay relationships that aren't there into actual show discussion, which shippers do all the time.

>>147159728
why does that boy have breasts?

>>147167124
There comes a point when discussion about strictly what's in a show comes to an end and people have to find other things to talk abour specially in SoL

>>147167459
Yes, because they have to have a general up at all times. And that's what I'm saying, do that shit on /u/ or /y/ instead.

>>147167486
They have? I can only see Madoka regularly with their turbo autism

>>147158100
It's too wonderful for this world.

>>147167632
Yuru Yuri had one for a long time, pretty sure Gochiusa too. Love Live had one since forever until they were kicked to the mobage thread on /vg/. There's /ak/ which is basically GuP. Probably more I'm not remembering, plus the few flavor of the season yuri pandering shows which will always have a thread up.

>>147165538
Is this an actual yuri harem?

>>147158100
Because it's bad

>>147168175

>>147167124
>but it's not as intrusive as projecting gay relationships that aren't there into actual show discussion, which shippers do all the time
How is shipping a character with yourself somehow better than shipping them with another character from their series?

>>147168372
Because they don't insist it's canon while spamming fan art of it.

>>147168426
>they don't insist it's canon
There's plenty of waifufags who do
>while spamming fan art of it
Instead they spam text of their fantasies and dreams.

It's lewd/harem enough for me.
It's mainly a gag manga.

>>147167124
Shipperfagging over gay relationships or hetero relationships and waifufagging/ talking about which girl you'd fuck is honestly all equally obnoxious shit that distracts from actual show discussion. It's all anyone is capable of and I don't expect it to change anytime soon though.

>>147168307
>and nothing wrong about seasonal anime always having a thread up
That is true.
It becomes a problem when they still have a thread up weeks after the last episode aired, no other new content to talk about anymore, and then still try to keep the threads ongoing and up.
Some seasonal shows could however also benefit from only having threads up during airing days like the pretty cure-threads, which has deteriorated into angry arguing about if and how much Maho Girls PreCure sucks. It's almost /m/-level Gundam-shitting about which Gundam-show sucks more.

>>147168615
Those are all odd girls for sure.

>>147168588
>There's plenty of waifufags who do
What the fuck am I reading?

>>147169311
I think some waifufags wouldn't be so bothered about the possibility of their waifus being lesbians because they think they have a realistic chance with them

>>147170572
It's an advert for a cardgame. What matters mostly is if enough people have become aware of the game when they watched the anime, which hopefully draws in the attention of people with cute girls antics and silly comedy.

Yuri is just fanservice like pantsu flying around or yaoi.

It doesn't ruin anything because shows who have it were shit in the first place.
