This.

>>2111970
They've been brought up a few times before. But given how Macross has always been pretty much totally het in the past, most of us are waiting to see if they make it to the end together before saying much more.

>>2111965
Honestly this is a good enough reason to never want any yuri anime to get adapted ever. Looking up fanart is disgusting if you ever forget to filter tags.

Well, let's hope Hotaru doesn't fucking die on her stupid mission.

The inquisitive type always fucking dies when they stick their nose into shady big organization stuff.

>>2112017
Not even teasing or implied chemistry?
Makina x Reina is everything but canon.

>>2112057
Nope. Nothing. Taking the Sheryl x Ranka as example, that was a plain old "senpai - kouhai" relationship, Ranka was Sheryl's biggest fan-girl and Sheryl liked to encourage Ranka in pursuing the idol career. The thing is, the relationship was platonic as fuck, and both girls were pretty clear in how much they wanted Alto (the male MC).

Makina x Reina is a first in Macross, as far as I can remember. I still believe that it is wise to wait and see before jumping at it.

>>2112069
>the relationship was platonic as fuck, and both girls were pretty clear in how much they wanted Alto
Yes, but despite that they both had much more meaningful interactions and better chemistry with each other than either did with Alto. And he was more interested in the sky than in either of them.

>>2112084
Yeah, sure if you're delusional. Hell, Sheryl was always pretty sexual in her interactions with Alto. With Ranka? A cool big sister, nothing more nothing less.

>>2112084
Alto should have been a girl. They already called him "princess"
As for Delta I had no idea there was a guy in it. The promo art either didn't show him or had him hidden in some corner.

Even on the website on the character roster he was one of the last characters, where supporting characters usually go.

>>2112069
Problem with SherylxRanka is that they actually have better chemistry with each other than with Alto. Yet they keep pushing the triangle bullshit. I mean if they're gonna do it anyway they should at least establish some kind of chemistry between the three of them and there's nothing like that in Frontier.Shit really pissed me off back when it was airing.

Anyway, I've been following Delta exclusively for ReiMaki scenes and they haven't pulled any bullshit that could break them apart.

>>2112089
>Alto should have been a girl. They already called him "princess"
The whole point of that was that he was a hotshot fighter pilot who people called princess and looked effeminate. That doesn't mean they were any closer to making a female Macross lead.

>>2112029
Yeah, she's so dead. Getting too yuri. Crying shame.

There was het incest in Selector, what the hell were you expecting? A full cast of lesbians who make out on-screen every 3 minutes?

>>2112229
Kazuki really wasn't much of man though

>>2112229
That dude was literally the only important male and he got shoved to the sidelines in S2
Lostorage has a bunch of dudes who're going to be important
Mostly because male selectors are going to be a thing in Lostorage (the dude from the het twincest couple wasn't a selector)
This just increases the chances of it going full het (the staff's different from Infected and Spread too),

>>2112229
I was not expecting an anime with a 99% female cast plus a single male side character to get a sequel with several prominent male characters; that doesn't happen very often.

Though I'm pretty sure you realized this, and were just venting for some reason.

>>2112233
>I was not expecting
You shouldn't have been expecting anything. From the beginning, WIXOSS hasn't tried to pander to anyone.

Citation needed. Not that I don't believe you but I don't see any in the PV.

>>2112231
Reminder that the only wixoss doujin we have are Yuzuki being fucked by Kazaki, Ruuko being fucked by Kazuki, Akira being fucked by faceless old men, Remember being fucked by faceless old men, Ruuko being fucked by her brother and Ruuko being fucked by futa Tama.
Not one yuri doujin.

You're right. I'll just assume they're right to not get dissapointed if it's right and to be pleasantly surprised if it's wrong.
Still, the males are featured in the PV. And pic related looks like the blonde dude in a battle
It would be great if the dudes ended up being irrelevant, but I doubt it

>>2112272
Hey, I was asked for a source for the male selectors thing. I first saw it in the /a/ thread, but /a/ is unreliable as fuck, so I posted a pic of what looks like a dude battling that seems to support the claims of male selectors. An idea that I don't like at all if it's true.

>>2112274
read >>2112275
When my evidence that isn't posts in /a/ for male selectors is a part of the PV where a dude looks like he's battling, how am I supposed to talk about it without posting the picture?

>>2112276
By linking the PV timecoded or just posting the time.
Still, this particular rule is already ignored often enough.

>>2112270
So they changed Wixoss into another Luck & Logic disaster now so the guys could participate in the new system where they don't need to become eternal girls but instead they just use their memories in battle where they can change the loser memories?
So if a guy wins agaisnt a girl he can change her momories as he likes...

So nice, I really hope it will sell badly.

>>2111970
Because people want Reina with Bogue, what with all that build up, and on the site it says that they're "like sisters" so that sank the ship.

>knowing everything about an anime from a PV
/u/ has reached a new level of paranoia. Pretty sure the character at 0:10 is a girl and one of the males in the PV is also pretty clearly antagonist material. It's basically Regalia redux.

>>2112069
Triangles in Macross are like masked blonde rivals in Gundam. It's tradition at this point and Japs don't like to fix what isn't broken, that is to say what still sells.

>>2112237
There's several yuri and futa doujin, they're just not scanned.
But with this shitty staff, I don't expect anything from this one. At least there's Kiyoi, as long as they don't fuck her up.

I actually agree with you, but I don't know how the mods think.

Aren't there several yuri-heavy official manga, like Peeping Analyze? There may be so yuri in this, but it will probably have to co-exist with het.
You know, like in the first series.

This.
If the show barely gave a fuck about the yuri subtext but did a rare taboo het couple straight faced then you really shouldn't expect anything else from it. It's clear who the targeted audience is.

>>2112344
het incest isn't exactly taboo in anime, you know
There's OreImo, Aki Sora, Yosuga no Sora, every fucking harem where the sister is a part of the harem. Really, there's ton of shows that have het incest

>>2112346
Still rare in comparison to your regular het. Just saying that even if the ordinary het couple appeared it would still be bad. This way it's even clearer that they're not there for the yuri.

>>2112300
They handle male images much better on forbidden /u/. As long as the image is thread relevant and spoilered no one cares.

>>2112302
Peeping Analyze was yuri? What happens in the last two chapters?

>>2112344
No shit, it's seinen.

>>2112302
>but it will probably have to co-exist with het.
It doesn't really "co-exist". It's just kinda floats in the background with easily dismissable undertones and some subtext while het gets to go all out with explicit relationships and focus. Not really worth it for the yuri.

>>2112364
>undertones
Of course, Iona being full gay for Ruuko and Akira being the same for Iona/Ulith is just barely subtext. Not to mention all the spin-off who are full blown yuri. Yep, Wixoss is full of het relationships.

>>2112365
Het is more explicit.
Show me a yuri confession or a kiss.

Are you retarded or just shitposting? The only het we have is Yuzuki and her brother and they never kiss, she only says she likes him.
What does Ruuko says to Tama? That she likes her. Akira to Iona? That she likes her. Not to mention all the scenes with Akira and Ulith which are more explicit than anything Yuzuki ever had. Now fuck off.

>>2112237
Why would this matter literally ever?

Its like giving a damn about people writing het fanfics for a yuri series. Just don't read them. In not a single way do they reflect anything about the main series, so they don't matter.

It's not like it says they think of each other like sisters, it just says they're close (仲良し) like sisters.

You've also got to be kind of ignorant of yuri and its history to think that sisterly relationships sink yuri ships.

The soeur system was too central to Marimite to talk meaningfully about what it would have been without it.

Anyway, Marimite is obviously not the history of yuri. Lesbianism and sisterly relationships went together as a trope that was old already when Escalation used it.

also they are not the only yuri character, Lisa ( the tomboy one) is also into woman and Bluesy rape some female enemy later too (only in dream¿?).

It was yuri but not the solid kind and it was a shitty rushed ending too. All the annoying hetshit and het jokes weren't worth it just to have the loli give her gf a ring but no kissing or real intimacy or mutual feelings or anything that would make it feel real.

>>2112617
>left to right
Damn it.

>>2112943
Delusional as always. Sakura was dropping her spaghetti over the guys hitting on her for the last half of the series while Milk was busy making dick jokes. Neither one clarified their relationship status and even the final page of the last chapter was unfulfilling. It was infuriating and none of it got resolved quickly and then the manga was axed.

Until the season actually begins, or even up until it's all over, assume that every series is going to be het. That way you have nothing to complain about and you won't be relying on /u/'s nonexistent precognitive powers.

Dunno about Keijo and I'll pretend that WIXOSS anime doesn't exist but there's a cycling anime that could be the season's Bakuon: Cycling Edition.

>>2112998
Look, what I'm trying to say is that sometimes series that "look" like they're going to be yuri turn out to be not, and sometimes yuri comes from series you'd never expect it from, and most often you get stuff that doesn't even reach subtext levels.

We can talk about what looks yuri for days but all we're doing is over-hyping ourselves, and that rarely ends well.

Well, if I'm reading the post right, this author is basically responding to Yoshimura's comment that "I didn't say it was yuri isn't a n excuse" by saying he didn't say it was yuri, that it's normal for girls to act close without wanting to eat each other's pussies.

I've never heard of the manga in question and after checking the synopsis it doesn't sound like anything anyone would expect yuri from.

I'm guessing something happened that got yurifags' hopes up and then they came crashing down.

>>2114527
I don't think Yoshimura's tweets were about Tomo-chan and Fumita's tweets just seem to be a general adding of his own thoughts to something he retweeted.

>>2114536
Well, I'd probably have to see Yoshimura's original tweet to understand what's going on, and probably a whole chain of tweets that preceded that.

Twitter is not exactly the ideal platform for sustained, intelligible conversation.

Here's a synopsis:
The novels are set in a world where a social game called The Magical Girl Raising Project allows one in tens of thousands of people to be a "magical girl" — possessing extraordinary physical capabilities and looks, as well as special magical powers that set them apart from the rest of the human race. But one day, in a district containing 16 magical girls, the administration announces that it must halve the number of magical girls to solve the problem of magical energy. At first, the 16 magical girls race to collect more "magical candy" than their competitors, but the rules quickly become twisted, and it quickly becomes a murderous battle for survival among them.

>>2114876
Well shit, I was looking forward to both of these even without the possibility of yuri.

Today is a good day.

Some of the raising project's character designs are pretty shitty but I love the main character's.

Subtext at most, ey?


Also, Samurai Flamenco. Whoever told me it has a side yuri couple was exaggerating severely. Same for yaoi.I mean, Moe is undoubtedly gay for Mari, and Masayoshi can be seen as in love with Gotou, but their respective interests are continuously straight. Gotou never gets over his late girlfriend, and while Mari seem to have given up on Gotou, she still doesn't consider Moe as a possible lover..
Disregarding romance, it's a wonderfully amazing series about justice, full of Kamen Rider/Sentai fanservice. It constantly one-ups itself, becoming absolutely crazy. And then even crazier. But no requited feelings of homosexual variety ever occur, so don't hope.

>>2115088

>>2115283

>>2115322
>anime
>realistic
Fuck off with that.

>>2115323
Anime is not realistic in many ways. It wants us to believe armour covering only the breasts and vag is sufficient.

What I'm talking about is relative realism. Adding males just makes the show players slightly more representative of the state of TCGs today.

I'm not asking for absolute realism. I'm not saying that the show should ditch everyone and replace it with 20-30 year old males with 1 or 2 women playing Wixoss

>>2115322
>Once again the idiotic twats here flip their shit and get explosive ass rage with any mention of a man.
It truly is as though the yuri board doesn't want any more male characters in a franchise with some potential that had little worth otherwise, and that still has one such male character too many.
Could it be?

>I do not see the problem with Male Selectors
I do.

LRIGs are all females.
LRIGS are all former Selectors
Therefore, Selectors have to be all females.

Males can play the TCG, and indeed do in Spread and Infected, but can't become Selectors.

>>2115322
>>2115358
Selectors being female only was one of the things that made WIXOSS special from the rest. We rarely get female-focused card anime like this. This new anime destroyed it and it is just another generic card game anime. The original duology has male players but not as Selectors. If you think that male Selectors are "more prevalent" and make the anime "slightly more realistic," then why are you here? Realism is one thing, difference is another thing.

>>2115322
>adding males makes yuri or girl-centric shows more realistic

I wish this meme would die already.

>>2115447
It worked out okay in Aoi Hana imo.

>>2115378
>>2115447

Agreed

>>2115322
>>2115358
The problem is if they add more males and they matter the odds of them being paired up with girls explictly is much much higher than the chance that girls will pair with eachother even with just heavy subtext. /u/ didn't develop an intense fear of males being added to stories just because, even just one could mean love triangle or harem which dooms any potential yuri relationship for the girls involved almost every time. Yuriwise shows are usually all or nothing.

Add to this that the show has few other redeeming qualities and it gets dropped.

If you want to complain about realism in muh animes or realistic representations of TCG players then you should be more worried about how fucking dumb the main characters are despite apparently being so good and how the game is portrayed as addicting as hell or how deck building is a thing that happens like once.

>>2115556
This.

But I'd also like to add that males are only problematic in yuri subtext shows (because people will wear maximum hetero goggles no matter how minimal interaction between a girl and a guy will have). I prefer good male characters in a canonical lesbian show. Supportive fathers, brothers, male best friends, etc. are heart-warming and make it feel more rewarding than a show that only have women. They don't even have to play any important role, just a line or two to show that 1) males do exist and 2) the lesbians still choose each other even when males exist, no matter how kind those males are.

>>2115556
The problem only lies with subtext shows, that's why none of them have males.

In a "real yuri" show you could have, technically, a male character and it wouldn't matter, and it would give the story a more "balanced" feel.

The real problem, in my opinion, is how they use the male characters. The "the lesbian girl decided to fuck a guy just because" plot line is utterly stupid, but some "yuri" authors seem to love it.

>>2115556
>/u/ didn't develop an intense fear of males being added to stories just because
This is important
I don't give a damn about males being in my yuri, it's just that when they're introduced it's almost always for the one stupid reason.

>>2115564
>They don't even have to play any important role, just a line or two to show that 1) males do exist and 2) the lesbians still choose each other even when males exist, no matter how kind those males are.

I don't get how having living cardboards just for the sake of diversity would make a story more realistic or "heartwarming".

>>2115598
You don't understand why side characters exist?

Imagine Madoka or Nanoha without their families. They are side characters that play a very small role, but a very important one. Genjuro in symphogear is another good example as he is a father figure for the girls who has several heartwarming moments and even encourages their relationships to some extent.

Having males in a work that is still yuri does two big things:
1. It can show that girls really are gay since they were presented with two options and still picked a girl, as opposed to having just girl as an option and picking it. (eliminates prison gay, basically)
2. Makes the show feel less like it takes place in an anime bubble, aiding suspension of disbelief.

If the story takes place somewhere where only females would be (ie all female school) then it can fix the second one but generally not the first.

>>2115564
>>2115610
>I need males to show that the females are really gay!
Just how much insecurity is necessary for this kind of mentality? By this reasoning you could even argue that until someone has sex with both genders, they aren't REALLY hetero- or homosexuals since their experience exists in a vacuum. Also, just because an anime doesn't portray Europe or the US doesn't mean they don't exist and the same applies to males. Even shows with absolute no males on screen ever, don't imply that the world they are living in is somehow different (with the rare exception of the occasional shows of course where it is part of the worldbuilding) only inhabited by women thereby rendering the relationship somehow not real yuri because >no males.

I don't understand the fixation on males in a girl focused genre. It feels to me as if someone watching an anime about football starts complaining there's no mention of basketball in any of the episodes. Who the fuck cares about that? Yuri is about girl-girl romance/sex, if there's a story to tell where a male is important and adds to the story, sure by all means go ahead, but shoving them inside just to justify their lesbiancy is devaluing it if anything, because it has to be rationalized it can't be like that because it simply is. Lesbians are lesbians.

>>2115610
>Imagine Madoka or Nanoha without their families.
I can barely even remember Nanoha's family. And the only person of note in Madoka's family is her mom.

>Genjuro in symphogear is another good example as he is a father figure for the girls who has several heartwarming moments and even encourages their relationships to some extent.
He's not a minor side character. He has an important role to play in the actual story, and being a father figure is not his main role. I don't mind characters like him, but characters like the older brother or the male friend are just useless. They might as well be female so I can ship them with somebody.

>It can show that girls really are gay since they were presented with two options and still picked a girl, as opposed to having just girl as an option and picking it. (eliminates prison gay, basically)
I really don't like this because it implies that lesbians have to reject males to be lesbians. It's basically the same logic used by the shitty mostly western trope of lesbians "test-driving" men to "prove" that they're lesbians.

Making something up and then arguing against it like the other person agrees with it completely is pretty shitty.

>>2115624
Showing the families in Nanoha and Madoka is more important than you would realize. They specifcally have a role to play in contrasting Fate/Homura's life with the main character's in addition to simply fleshing out that character's existence. It also makes Madoka's sacrifice more important, and of course the short talks she has with her mother are important. Those talks could not have happened with any character outside of her family.

>He's not a minor side character.
Still a side character, and being a caring father figure is at least half his personality and role.

>I really don't like this because it implies that lesbians have to reject males to be lesbians.

It isn't a problem for relationships that are explictly gay, just subtext relationships. Which we have a lot of. If a character is in a "possibly closer than friendship" relationship but never even interacts with a guy it can leave it hanging. If they come in contact with guys and express zero interest while expressing mild-moderate interest in girls, then it makes things a lot clearer.

>>2115659
>being a caring father figure is at least half his personality and role.
It seemed to be just a small part for me.

I thought you first said that you want males in non-subtext yuri. Now you're saying that this actually only applies to subtext, not that? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyhow my point still stands. Your logic still dictates that you have to have the characters interact with male characters in order to "legitimize" the yuri (or subtext yuri), which I very much don't agree. If a character is gay then she's gay, that's it.

>>2115674
>It seemed to be just a small part for me.
Its kind of his entire thing with Chris, he pretty much adopts her after her abusive mother figure abandons her. (Notice a pattern with dark magical girls and families?)

It is also important with Tsubasa, and surprisingly to a lesser extent with Hibiki, where he is more of a sensei kind of thing.

>I thought you first said that you want males in non-subtext yuri. Now you're saying that this actually only applies to subtext, not that? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I would like to see more males in things that are explict yuri, simply because it makes the world feel more 'real' and less fabricated. If you are going to tell a story with more than five characters it just gets weird when the cast is completely female. Almost everyone has brothers, fathers/grandfathers, friends, or just people that you simply interact with occasionally in their lives that matter and they make up a part of the character's experience and the world around them. Removing them completely from a world is also just kind of... safe space-y.

I somewhat would like to see males in subtext for that reason, but also because I believe it can, in some cases, push the subtext further (this is the most important part) and also remove class S and circumstance from the equation completely.

The problem with it in subtext shows is that that shit is really rare, and it is far more likely they will interfere with the yuri in some way, which is why we are paranoid about it. Obviously I do not want that in any show.

As an example, I know Tougou in Yuuki Yuuna is 100% gay and/or Yuunasexual. A scene with her interacting with males in a way that expresses her disinterest has no value for me, because I don't need it. Fuu and Itsuki on the other hand, I do not know if they are gay, so I would not mind seeing, say, a boy ask Fuu to a festival and get shot down hard followed by Fuu realizing she wants to ask Karin and going with her.

>>2115691

Removing them completely from a world is also just kind of... safe space-y.

The reason why most casts are all-female in yuri is not because male characters are completely removed from a world. They do exist of course, it's just that they're simply not important enough for screentime. Think about it, why would an author dedicate one or more pages for a male friend / brother, who has no actual role in the story except to enforce your standards of "realism" when those pages can be used for the actual story and relationship instead? You should get your priorities straight when it comes to writing. Also they aren't shippable, so that's a big negative too.

>circumstance
Again, that's your own problem if you think characters are straight unless proven otherwise.

>>2115739
He has a point though. Focusing on characters development and relationship development are very important and should be prioritized above all else. But having your characters interact more with the world around her is always a plus. It helps establish the world-building, and shows that these girls don't live in a vacuum.

>>2115739
Not the anon you've talking to, but I think you are talking about a completely different thing.

There's a fine line between a show where male characters exist but not important enough to have any speaking line VS a show where males are completely nonexistent (sometimes without any explanation). The latter kind is jarring because with very few exceptions of good writing, the girls almost always feel like class S or prison gay. And that takes a lot of enjoyment out of the joy of yuri. I'm not interested in "lesbians" that seem like they'll jump into a man's arms if only they have actual access to them.

>>2115739
>Think about it, why would an author dedicate one or more pages for a male friend / brother, who has no actual role in the story

Come on, why do you think minor side characters exist at all?

I could be here all day listing off every character that has no role in the story or relationships of the main characters and yet exists in the work for a reason but I would hit the text limit a hundred times over.

>>2115789
That anon is clearly talking about the first one. And honestly when's the last time you saw the second one except for YRYR where it's more of a running gag than anything.

>I'm not interested in "lesbians" that seem like they'll jump into a man's arms if only they have actual access to them.
Do you think that all women are by default straight or something?

>>2115801
I'm saying that if they don't have any clear role they might as well be a shippable female instead of fulfilling the "realism" male character quota.

>>2115808
With your logic one shouldn't have married women or mothers in yuri shows because it is more difficult to ship them with girls since you know they are straight.

If you want all characters to be female literally just so you can ship them no matter how small their role is then I don't know what to tell you other than perhaps you should get your own priorites straight when it comes to writing. There are things far more important to the story, world, and characters than providing shipping fodder.

And I wish you would stop saying "realism". There is a difference between making a show realistic and making believable well written characters who have actual lives and families in that show.

>>2115840
Okay, I made a mistake in conveying that post.

I'm not that crazy for shipping. I also don't actually care if there are male side characters in a story, important or unimportant. But what I do find troubling is how you and some other anons in /u/'s insistence on adding male characters to yuri stories, who otherwise have no other role than to be male as if it's an indicator of "believable well written characters who have actual lives and families in that show".

It's not. You can't make a character be believable and well written just by slapping a brother in and call it a day.

Also yuri authors would probably never think like "woah all of my characters are girls, let's change these three to make this story more believable". If they do make them, the decision is probably made on a whim, not by some male character quota.

What do you expect? Guys like that are really desperate to self insert. The same guy will usually scream whenever one of those guys acts in a mean way, too - to them, the focus of attention always needs to be on guys for some reason.

It's pretty pathetic really.

>I don't get how having living cardboards just for the sake of diversity would make a story more realistic or "heartwarming".

It's funny how these guys throw a tantrum about male representation and lack of diversity on 4chan of all places, without even a hint of awareness or irony.

I don't even know who's trolling who anymore.

>>2115848
It's called a conversation.

>>2115842
Of course it takes more than simply adding a few dudes, its just that when the cast of characters hits 10, 20, 30 without males in sight it starts to get annoying how hard it is trying to purposefully avoid them and that can pull a viewer out of the work even if just slightly. I don't like this idea that males are the enemy of yuri thus there should be none, its like cutting out half the dictionary when you sit down to write a story. Even if you weren't going to use most of it, it is quite possible that something will be lost due to your self imposed restrictions. You couldn't have Genjuro, for example. Or any character inspired by their big brother or pursuing their father's dream or etc.

>>2115845
No, of course not.

It's more pathetic when anons ignore half the discussion, only to butt in with their man-hating strawmen.

>I don't like this idea that males are the enemy of yuri thus there should be none, its like cutting out half the dictionary when you sit down to write a story.
Did you even read my post? I clearly said that I don't mind male characters.

>its just that when the cast of characters hits 10, 20, 30 without males in sight it starts to get annoying how hard it is trying to purposefully avoid them
Most shows which do that have their valid reasons. While you're trying to purposefully add them without much except "realism" and diversity. That's what I do mind.

> character inspired by their big brother or pursuing their father's dream or etc.
That just sounds like a bad yuri plot to be honest.

>>2115874
See that? You're just butting in with what isn't even an argument, attacking some sort of enemy you don't even know is there, because you're just assuming that people want to self insert with males.

I'm not even part of the original discussion. You're pointing at the wrong person.

>>2115866
Do they HAVE to be, though? Male characters are not the death knell of yuri, scumbag writers shoehorning them are.

>>2115856
No, not really. It's a case by case thing. Depends on each story setting, they could help the world-building and maybe be a device for author to use to reinforce and strengthen the relationship between the girls. Other than that though, they don't really matter.

>>2115875
>Did you even read my post? I clearly said that I don't mind male characters

I was more addressing where the problem comes from there, though yes you do make it sound like you think otherwise anyway since you seem to think a story with yuri shouldn't just naturally have male characters here and there as if it took place on earth or something.

>"realism"
Please stop that. I already explained what is wrong with that.

Furthermore there is not a single thing wrong with having more diversity in a genre so I don't know why that would be bad.

You make it should like I am arguing for the shoehorning in of male characters, but what I am against is having them not exist simply because they are male and therefor not girls, because I think there are character concepts and stories we will never get to see otherwise, within yuri, if that thought sticks around.

I want to see Yuri Danshi minus the shitty parts, I want to see a couple's parents approve of their relationship and lovingly support their daughter, I want to see a couple's parents disapprove and be rebelled against successfully, I want to see parents actually be characters instead of faceless plot devices, I want to see a sukeban controlling a male dominated gang that she beat her way to the top of with her faithful sidekick watching her back, I want to see a girl with a dozen younger siblings practically marry another girl and take care of them together, I want to see love triangles where the guy loses (more than once or twice in my lifetime), and of course everyone wants to watch a het harem dissolve as all the girls realize they are way better for each other than that loser anyway.

Shit won't happen if we keep being terrified of males in our fiction, even if our fear is pretty justified due to bad experiences. Of course if a writer betrays our trust then there is little reason not to demonize them, but as is it seems a lot just don't even try.

>>2115936
I love how apasionante you are about this subject, but your passion is pointless. Why, you ask? Because we, the west, don't have any say in the yuri market.

>>2115948
Yeah I figured that would come up eventually and it is completely correct.

I do enjoy discussing yuri quite a bit though, and I believe my opponent is worth my time.

Oddly enough this kind of launched off of the WIXOSS having male selectors thing, which in spite of what I have been arguing I think will be shitty.

>>2115973
Well, in WIXOSS' case, it is really shoehorned. I mean the "mons" are called LRIG which is just girl backwards and all of them are women. A male selector doesn't make any sense given how the LRIGs are made.

Again, are male selectors actually confirmed? If so, where? Nobody has provided a source so far. Are you complaining about nothing again?

>>2115984
What we already know about Lostorage indicates that it's a different system though (and not all LRIGs in Selector were former Selectors either)

>>2115997
Seems like there's no more Eternal Girl system, and the wish granted let the winner erase its memory or the opponent's. Hence the guys Selectors, while there won't be any YOB. Yeah, it's stupid, but let's wait and see if they ruin the franchise with the male Selectors or not.

>>2116079
>for the sake of it
Sounds like the former.

>>2115936
I am okay with male characters in yuri. I've read and watched countless yuri with them. Most yuri already do have them in the first place anyway. More genre diversity is also fine, and all of your idea examples are nice (except for the Yuri Danshit part. Male protagonists in yuri is a terrible idea regardless of execution) because the male characters there all have a role to play. But the diversity I was talking about was not that.

What I am against for is if you think that it's unnatural when a specific story has no male characters (as in they never appear like in yuru yuri for example) and the author has to add them to "fix" it. That's what I meant by diversity. But since you cleared up that you're not actually arguing for the shoehorning of male characters, then that's good.

>>2116118
>(as in they never appear like in yuru yuri for example)
Not quiiite never

>>2116118
There are males in YrYr.

>>2115936
>Shit won't happen if we keep being terrified of males in our fiction

This is such a strawman, though. Nobody is "terrified" of men in yuri - a lot of popular yuri manga have guys without a fuss. You even admit that Wixoss, which spawned this discussion, will likely be shitty.

When people dislike a shitty concept, strawmanning the complaint into something nobody actually said is retarded.

Yuri isn't worse without male characters. That's simply a fact. Yuri can be fine with male characters. Also a fact. Doesn't mean yuri is better with them, though - they're just one element an author can use, that's all, and arguing one element needs to be in every story is dumb.

There's more important aspects yuri can grow into first, such as more varied settings and plots. Some of those stories would naturally end up having a guy here or there, but that's because they'd fit that particular plot, not because guys are inherently important in yuri.

Because, let's face it: Guys aren't important in yuri.

>>2116375

That's not what she said. I remember her saying that before she would just accept some specific things like yuri. Like, if they didn't kiss or date, she wouldn't consider it yuri.

But now she can accept the close relationship girls have in some animes like yuri.
What she meant is that she consider subtext yuri, in the end.

Also, that's the same writer who put a monologue about how yuri is supreme inside the adaptation of a generic visual novel. I think we can believe her love for the genre, at least.

YH is always relevant as it's the centerpiece of modern yuri development. Sort of like what WoW is/was to the MMO genre, quality aside, always relevant and contrasted to similar media.
