>Yuribait masquerading as yuri
Why is this still a thing?

But daydreaming about having straight sex is sane though

I don't see how those two series are similar at all

I haven't felt any yuri vibes in rock lady

Have you tried watching it?

>>279846889 (OP)
>>279847111
I don’t believe you.

>>279846889 (OP)
I don’t even think Akari is a yuri, but all her friends are.

>>279846889 (OP)
I want to see a N2 certificate or greater from anyone who complains about what is and is not included under a term coined by Japanese people in their native language

>>279846889 (OP)
There's no such thing as yuribait. You're just mentally ill person who can't understand female love for cock.

>>279847160
it's just a band bro

>Yuri

Yuribait is often better than straight up yuri.

>>279846889 (OP)
>Bait for deluded yuritard bucks
>By the end there's no romance or the girls end getting inseminated by their boyfriends
A tale as beautiful and old as time.

Yuri ruined Higurashi, sailormoon, and others. I'll accept its death.

>>279847484
I don't know how the schizos can see the flagship title of the defining magazine of the yuri genre that is pure moeshit that makes no romantic overtures at all let alone anything that resembles western lesbianism and not think that maybe their definition of yuri is a bit off

>>279847567
LGBTBBQfags equating their western lesbianism to yuri is the problem to begin with.

>>279847567
>that makes no romantic overtures
There’s a side couple, one-sided affection, a rape kiss, and two yuri fan girls.

>>279847567
Hehe baited

>>279847648
This is all stuff that the average battle shounen has between its male characters

I haven't watch Rock Lady
Doesn't look like bait to me

>>279847496
>Yuribait is often better than straight up yuri.
TRVKE

>>279847496
True

>>279847692
Exaggeration aside, the average battle shounen has opposite sex love interests. Yuru Yuri does not and the girls are going to stay together.

Why is hard yuri so boring? I like soft yuri like Bocchi the Rock and Gridman. But whenever I try watching hard yuri shows like this or YagaKimi they're just so fucking boring. Honestly Aquatope strikes a good balance between of soft/hard yuri.

I like yuri bait but in stuff like Hibike where it's played extremely seriously and yet still nothing actually happens it feels way more disingenuous. It should stick to being cute and comedic.

>>279847754
because pure yuri is just romance and romance is one of the most garbage genre in fiction.
with yuri bait, you have yuri with SOMETHING that's actually interesting

>>279847754
>>279847815
You can both watch shows with Plot + Yuri elements like TenTen or the upcoming Watatabe. Plently of manga too.

>>279847695
>AI fag
this is what yuri does to your brain

>>279847695
Fuck these half-baked AI sloppas that just regurgitate whatever the first few results were going to say that you could have just read
and to get any actual results on Japanese topics that isn't just some redditor or some MAL's opinion you have to ask how you would ask your question in Japanese, ask the question in Japanese, and then ask it to translate what it said back into English

Ninkoro is actual yuri, at least until Kuro clarifies to Satoko that most women aren't actually homosexuals and then she becomes boy crazy

>DURR HURR REAL YURI HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED
This shit is just a subgenre of moe and the point is that it’s cute. It doesn’t matter how they do it the point is how well it achieves the end result of cuteness.

>>279846889 (OP)
Here's an idea on how to make a good yuri. Just don't have maleshit and hetshit

>>279848271
Everybody thinks about intercourse every now and then

>>279848271
>replying to his own thread

>>279848099
Real yuri does exist. But at least in the west, yuri is generally considered stuff with actual romance in it and not just cgdct series that are suggestive. In Japan it apparently is more broad but I do think it's worth having more specific terms for things that are quite a bit different.

>>279848316
>but I
Nobody was asking you

>>279848330
Nobody asked you for your retarded post saying yuri is a subgenre of moe.

Only GL is yuri according to westoids

>>279848385
Is girls' love even a term used in Japan. Girls' love in the west is typically used for lighter series/what's otherwise called yuribait while yuri is used for actual romance. If GL is a Japanese term too then maybe the west has them flipped based on what you're saying.

>>279847323
The only gay character in Yuru Yuri is Sakurako big sister, but she's ugly so it doesn't count.

>>279848416
The West is just a bunch of retards taking terms and using them without knowing what they mean and being dead wrong, like how they call battle shounen shounen and are confused how kanokari is also shounen, or how they took the phrase isekai tensei but didn't realize that tensei is the operative word that makes it a reincarnation plot and call Frieren native isekai when it's just isekai

The problem isn't the definition of yuri as a genre, or how to do the genre right, so much as it is viewers who gaslight themselves into thinking a show is going to do a certain thing for them, and then get mad when the story and characters go in their own direction. It's not just yuri fans who do this either, there are all sorts of retards getting mad at anime for not pandering enough to their increasingly specific desires.

>>279848479
>Chinatsu, who forces Akari to kiss her and obsesses over Yui, isn't gay
>Ayano who obsesses over Kyouko isn't gay
>Rise and her "explosion friend" teacher aren't gay

>>279848527
Or maybe the Japanese are retarded and are using the same term for several distinct things.
>Citrus is yuri
>the average cgdct series is yuri
>Hibike is yuri
These three are all very different in concept and execution of what is otherwise considered simply "yuri".

>>279848591
Yes, all of those fit the categorization of character driven stories about the close bonds between girls, and the Japanese aren't autistic metalfags from 2004 so they don't feel the need to invent new classifications more granular than that

>>279846889 (OP)
You take the blue pill, the dream ends, you wake up in Yuri bait and believe whatever you want to. You take the red pill, you stay in Shoujo ai and I show you how deep the doomed Yuri goes.

>>279846889 (OP)
The persistence of what's labeled "yuri bait" largely stems from a modern audience's tendency to interpret intense platonic female affection through a romantic lens. Historically, and in many cultures, close female friendships, often expressed with significant physical and emotional intimacy, were not automatically coded as romantic or sexual.
Authors, particularly in East Asian media, might genuinely aim to depict deep, supportive, and affectionate female bonds, a "sisterhood" that transcends mere acquaintance. This can include intertwined lives, shared beds, comforting physical contact, and highly emotional declarations of love and loyalty. These are hallmarks of strong platonic relationships.
However, in a media landscape scant with lesbian romance, fandoms actively seek out the material even where it doesn't exist, and these sincere portrayals of platonic intimacy can be easily misinterpreted. What an author intends as a powerful bond of friendship, devoid of romantic undertones, is perceived by some viewers as an intentional tease or a missed opportunity for actual yuri. The "bait" isn't a malicious deception, but rather a clash between the creator's traditional portrayal of close female bonds and a contemporary audience's romanticized interpretation of such intimacy.
Some of this misunderstanding stems from distinctions in differences between male and female friendships. Women more frequently engage in friendly behaviors with each other that would be deemed inappropriate between male friends.

Nobody’s reading that, you’re a retard

>>279848996
>what an author intends as a powerful bond of friendship, devoid of romantic undertones, is perceived by some viewers as an intentional tease or a missed opportunity for actual yuri
These “realistic” explanations are always lacklustre. Almost everything about anime girls is designed to be appealing, from how they look to how they act. In this sort of fantasy world, why would we assume that the girls’ relationships with each other is out of some deep desire to depict a realistic bond between girls rather than any aspect of the girls designed to appeal to the audience. Their looks fact that most of the authors of these sorts of series eschew other realistic things like boyfriends and male love interests, while at the same time having histories of writing unrealistic lesbian relationships in the past, makes it more likely that it is just another form of fanservice, whether for yurifags or people who want to imagine having a threesome with them.

>>279849187
>Anon has issues understading what is the purpose of a genre even though romcoms do exactly the same thing by creating romantized scenarios

>>279849247
The purpose of moe SoL is to be a showcase of how cute the girls are. It doesn’t have to be friendship.

>>279848996
I read that

>>279849296
No, they are meant to be easy to read manga, the moe style was created to be something easier for authors to draw in 4 koma structures, the girls "cuteness" and dynamics are a secondary product born from those circumstances. The so called "cgdct" is a variation of the boy(s) with several female friends SOL moe manga which was common in the 2000s and yuri teasing or actual yuri elements in "CDCGT" are a tertiary product born from those circumstances. If you read a romcom you will see the difference of something where the girl's sex appeal is thr main selling point and how it requires much more commitment from the reader.

>>279846889 (OP)
I do not see a problem with Eupho or Rock Lady.

>>279847567

It's all just bait until ISOT gets adapted.

Funny that rock lady attracts both metalfags and the schizo spazzing out about yuri

>>279846889 (OP)
Don't you alphabet girls have a whole board to yourselves?

Anything recommended by Yuri Navi is yuri.

Yuribait masquerading as yuri is a tautology. Yuribait by itself is already masquerading as yuri, hence the word yuribait and not just yuri.

>>279847427
It's real.

You do know that not all moe manga are 4koma right? 4koma doesn't always lead to simplistic art or composition either and there are plenty of 4koma manga that play with the format a lot.
