>>28371 I don't watch erb but gigi has repeatedly said that she is "somewhere on the ace spectrum" and that the yuribait is just entertainment. considering that her media diet seems to consists of fanfics and young adult drama, and that she herself is a slash fiction writer, that's probably the only type of script she knows how to write. just look at the content she made before being a holo, like being in a doujin circle named "phd in omegaverse"
this all makes me think cover still has it with them, the showbiz juice. phase has actual lesbians (most recently clio aite*) and it is always between unrelatable and disgusting. *: I love kenshi for example but I couldn't bring myself to watch her post-debut stream

ALL you understand the hyperbole content made by women
has to be about sex . with hololive for example I admire the members that go an extra mile not to sexualize their models or do the "girlfriend experience" or "business yuri" stuff. even though cover is responsible, like any other japanese showbiz agency, of creating and/or adopting the idol nonsense, and incentivizing the culture around it (unicorns and such)

>>26850 I don't agree, the plot is the most important thing, that's why in our childhood we were taught love stories where a prince would proceed to save his princess in spite of monsters and other obstacles. They could be just an another man and woman, but that wouldn't be interesting. Art appeals to aestetics, and familiarity is often uninteresting.
Many yuri, yaoi, cgdct are boring fanservice animes and even they are not usually popularized by how cute their female characters are, like 'Bocchi the Rock', I never watched it but the main premise of it is that Bocchi was not a cute girl, but an introvert first.

>>26496 Didn't know Red's Naoki Yamamoto was an "ok, I don't wanna be left behind by the progressive leftist wave, I guess eroticism is bad now lol :)" guy, though. Sucks but not too surprising given what the average born-again western right-wing nerd used to be into, or in the case of Mori Natsuko *still is* into yuri porn while hanging out with anti-gay politicians. Eroticism, like fun violence, is an id-driven thing and many people enjoy being part of a culture war side to belong to "something greater" and go beyond their monkey-brained desires. It just feels worse when it's someone talented (dude even had a Manben episode) and not some porn LN writer or Twitter memer who makes soyjaks in mspaint.
That said, with Naoki, I get the feeling that part of it is just him just being younger than the people he wrote about. Red covers 1969-1972; the dude was only 12 years old in 1972. So while older communists could acknowledge this stuff as lame social conservatism (especially since they had to deal with a lot of it), I could see someone younger buy the idea that "complaining about anime boobs is just a natural evolution of the new left of the 60s, the women's lib movement of the 70s etc".
Doesn't always apply since Yohane is even younger and was his assistant, but I think it probably makes it more likely.

>>26419 These are essentially Project 2025 views - compare the New Japan Women's Association stuff to… literally Project 2025. They don't bring up the trans part at least, but I suspect Japanese TERFs are happier than a pig in shit about this.
I think a big part of it is the way liberal feminism & SWERF ideology kinda merged together in the anglophone west's pop-"leftism" & the two ideologies are selectively invoked depending on whatever "triggers the enemy" more at the moment. You'd immediately (and rightfully) get called out if you said "this female pop star needs to cover up, she's promoting the objectification of women" - but going "women can promote misogyny too :)" over a female artist liking big titted cartoon girls was outright encouraged at one point. Most other cultures' minds aren't honed for the anglophones' omnipresent societal doublethink though. If they see a constant barrage of "we need to get rid of disgusting coomer slop that degrades women" from the capital of the world, they'll just have their full-blown SWERF sectors' views empowered & mainstreamed with no nonsensical caveats like "it's fine when a woman does erotic cosplay, only the drawings that inspired it are harmful" (not even strawmanning, I literally saw an "enlightened game analyst" dude claim the character designs themselves are bad BUT their cosplayers are ok when the geek-feminism trend was huge). I first started noticing this long ago with the Russian equivalent of Tumblr feminists, who leaned radfem & were much more overt about thinking skimpy outfits are inherently degrading. Yeah America's been kinda moving away from these views lately and you see more "oof yikes" designs, but the snowball's been rolling since 2012 and it's massive now, globally.
It's particularly lame for this to happen to Japan though, because hyper-sexualizing both male and female characters is already what otaku did. It's not uncommon for random male Pixiv fappers to get off on both (not even just "femboy" or shota art; I've seen full-blown bishonen yaoi porn artists popular with dudes who also liked typical male-targeted hentai), and fujoshi will either draw "objectified" genderbend art of their favorite yaoi pairs ("oof her back" boobs often included) or just embrace outright "male gaze" yuri like Valkyrie Drive or Murcielago, make their own similar stuff etc. It wa

>>26307 I've been becoming kind of an Ayane fanboy as of late, and I've been trying to think of what about her work tickles me. This is off the heels of binge reading the available usachanGET backlog as well, and I think an element missing from a lot of male author work is a sense of physicality in the female subject being depicted. There's a sense that things are primarily done unto her without true reciprocation that takes down how enrapturing the scene otherwise could be and I think its source is a lack of body afforded to males in the work. There's a lot of focus on the flesh of the woman that renders the male cardboard with a penis that can occasionally scratch the itch of what I believe drawn pornography's purpose is, purposeful simulacra of the psychological dimension of pornography without need to find actors that can actually Act.
This is of course coming from a distinctly non-homosexual malesub-adjacent perspective however, so maybe I'm too deep in a particular burrowto see that there's some kind of alternate position I'm missing. And of course this isn't a put down of work that I don't think lives up to this potential, it's just a note about representation of embodied experience through the depiction of sex as rendered by freaky ass Japanese uyghas. And I haven't even touched on the seeming lack of this dimension in Yuri, which I think there's a lot you can say about.
I suppose this is gonna be a reminder, but SPOILER YOUR IMAGES, I sure didn't remember to the first time I made this post.

>>26062 reading comprehension. the first paragraph establishes a comparison between the anime listed in the now defunct OP image and anime
in general . this is, the common trope in anime is that, if the male character is shy, then the girl(s) are at least as shy as he is; but in the anime with strong female leads, this trope either goes away completely (humiliation fetish) or it happens at a lower layer so to speak: the male character either turns out to be, or becomes, strong and redeems himself towards the end
in the end, the male character has to either be the lead, or enjoy not being the lead, which is humiliating in the context of anime/manga, but the character comes on top by appropriating and actually enjoying that humiliation. to be vulgar, in regular anime the male is the top, and in fetish anime the male is the power bottom or
top from the bottom . these patterns also repeat themselves in homosexual relations, it is called seme/uke in yaoi and neko/tachi in yuri. note that these words are only used in the context of homosexuality because in heterosexual relations it is always assumed, as I have explained, that the male is the seme/neko
of course there are exceptions, but this is the common pattern. if you want exceptions, as a general rule I would recommend looking up the age of the author. older authors are more likely to try to subvert or ignore the usual tropes. young authors are usually in a more precarious position so they stick to the known craft

Around 2/3s of them I couldn't easily find a gender, for the rest I got 12 female 8 male.

I didn't follow him closely but I wouldn't be surprised if Akiman went from "I should be able to draw hot anime girls without annoying people screaming in my ear" to "I'm gonna read about QAnon on Gab, because I dislike The Woke".
As stated before with that "anti-woke" lady who writes yuri porn though, this is really stupid because once you step out of niche "conservative nerd" circles on Twitter you'll realize the average normie right winger will hate you for being a "degenerate anime coomer" just as much as the worst radlibs and also want your stuff gone. I feel like Japan's going through the same thing America did where right wing talking heads try to get nerds on board by saying "look, we'll defend your problematic stuff! we're not triggered SJWs!" - and how did that turn out? Is Milo Yiannopoulos fighting censorship? No, he's a "pray the gay away" guy now while US conservatives are trying to ban all forms of pornography, call video games degenerate & say anime waifus groom you into being trans.

Main character syndrome but on a “racial basis”, as in
<thing non-european is popular… so it must be because the cartoon characters are secretly white with their aryan features like blue hair and gigantic eyes Then comes the question why darker skinned anime character still have the same gigantic eyes and non-natural hair colors and the cope goes into overdrive. Plus most characters in anime are either black-haired youths or otherwise have distinct hair that isn't just blonde aryan. Many Japanese anime make fun of that actually or have them as antagonists, or both; for example, Riser Phoenix in High School DxD is an asshole antagonist, Darkness from Konosuba is a fucking masochistic joke and Dragon Ball's General Blue is both an antagonist and a source of some humor. Ironically the character of Naruto and Edward Elric are among the few mainstream anime characters that most casual anime viewers know of and who are blonde and blue-eyed. Luffy and Goku are black haired with black irises and Ichigo was ginger with brown eyes.
There are exceptions to this, but generally that's in older anime or anime that has a style of more normal (or excessive) proportions, such as Ninja Scroll, Naruto or One Piece. The First is pretty realistic in physical depictions, with the only grotesqueness being characters that are obviously abnormal monstrous humans. Naruto has fairly normal proportions of the body, so Black people from The Hidden Cloud such as the Raikage are fairly normal humans but still obviously black. One Piece has a massive variety of absurd character designs, (like tiny legs for massive bodies or weird faces or whatever) so it obviously breaks the mold here.
Frankly speaking however it's just a massive, *Disney type exaggeration of traditional conceptions of young female beauty; big eyes, smol nose, round yet shapely face etc. It got so exaggerated at times that it bec

>>24537 >>24537 The need to "reclaim yuri from the straight cishet men" thing is silly. When you take yuri manga as a whole, there's really blatantly a colossal female presence even when you only include the stuff we, in the west, readily hear about. Some might argue "well this is about fetishization, and it's overwhelmingly men drawing porn, so they rule that sector" - I'd argue against that too as there's boatloads of female yuri authors drawing heavily sexualized stuff or outright porn, often for at least in large part a female audience and sometimes overwhelmingly for them. Sometimes this'll be well known in western yuri fandom as in the case of authors like Takano Saku, or obvious from browsing sites like Dynasty Scans and finding out about stuff like Mist Magazine. In other cases you'll find it in unexpected places. Rokuroichi published yuri stories in a primarily-hetero josei smut mag…

I just had a realization I cant think of a single bara anime, or never saw as much as a clip from one.

>>22317 I feel like the criticism of the male gaze separating object from subject fundamentally confuses the subject-object dichotomy. Like "seeing a person as a subject" is a type of seeing them as an object, it isn't possible to separate the two (it would only be possible to separate the two if we literally became them). Thus, the difference is lack of subjectification (and tacit involvement of the audience) not objectification per say.
Also if this is meant as a criticism of yuri manga, about 2/3 of yuri manga authors and 1/2 of the yuri audience is female by just about every poll I've seen (including polls on 4chan).
Despite all of that, good vid.

And this isn't? That's a pointless criticism given that's prerogative of most Western and Japanese cartoons - to sell merchandise. The point is that if you want to make a yurifiction, just make that, as much as I dislike them, Owl House and similar productions are their own IP and can be whatever they want, but if you're using an existing IP and story, one that has heavy nostalgia and cultural impact, making what is essentially a completely different thing, then pulling on the skin-mask of the older show to get attention. Like I said, it's not the worst cartoon of its time, but there's a variety of factors to it that make me dislike it on both character and quality levels.

I found that annoying and frankly disrespectful, both to actual lesbians and the original material. It's yet another poorly done lesbian ship with stereotypes that just switches a female character into a male archetype relationship wise - a general trend for yuri-shipping - and if that's enough for lesbians, then boy that is a low set of self-esteem and standards, it's like Black people being happy that their representations are background characters subservient to others.
It is also parodical of the original material, which is inappropriate, given that the name is precisely the entire reason this was made - nostalgia bait for parents who were kids at the time of the original. The ship specifically is explicitly comparable to someone remaking Revolutionary Girl Utena but changing the main characters to be a straight relationship.

Separately I'd also point out how the Adora/Catra relationship feels like poor fanfiction yuri shipping and a lot of its aspects are basically aped directly from Revolutionary Girl Utena.
>>11364 That being said, compared to some truly shitty cartoons contemporary to it, it's okay-ish, not something I'd recommend, but okay.
No, that was the 90s/2000s, however I think that, as of the 2020s, Tomboys are making a comeback as a sort of industry reaction to the poor reception of liberal idpol trying to replace both tomboys and normal feminine women by browbeating people with the shallow "yas kween slay" 'strong womyn' schtick that is evident in characters like Korra or Rey. People's lack of interest in media with that, has been losing companies money, so finally they're letting in people with better ideas and whose genuinel interest in creating actually interesting characters is getting a chance to shine again in the Western mainstream rather than just small indie companies or Japanese anime.

>>20159 the problem with what you want is that an author can't write characters that are smarter than him. and manga/LN authors aren't intellectuals. the suspension of disbelief while watching these
tactical animes often breaks - you should only watch them for the power fantasy and the fan service, if that is what you like
with this in mind, if you still want a military themed anime, I can think of some recommendations that aren't extremely cliche, but there aren't that many military themed animes
"zipang": 26 eps, rather long, boring towards the end, it is similar to what you would expect from western media
"urasekai picnic", "gate" and "tsuki to laika": these are more recent, require a shorter attention span, are loosely military-adjacent and belong to different genres (bipolar lesbians, otaku power fantasy, and anti-soviet romance, respectively)
if you want to start watching anime in general, start with "welcome to the nhk" if you are young, or "yuru yuri" if you aren't. you can use MAL to find recommendations, but as a general rule, avoid anything with a score
above 7.50 (there are exceptions)

>>19852 >How are they different from any other shippers? My dude, are you new? There's a reason Fujoshi, Fudanshi and to an extent Himedanshi, are considered the worst sort of shippers in RWBY and anime in general, because
A) They tend to be fetishizers that literally represent the cringe of the "UwU/OwO" meme (far more than most straight shippers)
B) It's almost always unfounded on any sort of character interaction or story themes, and 90% of the time feels forced
C) It just comes off as vulgar modern shit; "2 people have a healthy, real friendship? THEY MUST BE FUCKING!" And you see this more with yuri ships and yaoi ships than straight ones.
Within RWBY you only have to look at the pure cancer of WhiteRose and Bumbleby shippers; it's all either lust-based fapbait or libshit. Shippers in general can be cancerous, but I will take Lancaster and RoseGarden and even WhiteKnight Shippers over any of the Yuriships.

The Chibi scene is just a bit, there's some stuff in Chibi that's really wack, like Cinder essentially being the "candy van" meme and other things, it's non-canon for a reason, though its still fun (because it's for humor and not unironic shipping).

>>18838 >a recent trend in lesbian ships - 2 girl characters that have no sexual chemistry are mashed into a relationship that also alienates their friends & family in its toxicity. Honestly thinking about it, the 2 "popular" yuri ships are Yang/Blake & Ruby/Weiss. But neither of those are good ships in terms of writing of characters. Yang/Blake is like every dysfunctional lesbian relationship, & the other 2 are clearly true friends. Yang had chemistry with the Schnee princess, one a brash, unfiltered rough n' tumble girl, the other a hard-ass perfectionist. Yang smoothed Weiss' sharp edges with he bluntness & penchant for humor, easily ignoring the pale girls prickly nature. If you HAD to have a dynamic that isn't pure friendship, those 2 are the ones that functioned in a Yin Yang sort of way. Instead Blake had her character become this strangely submissive person that go against her supposed character progress.
Instead we get generic bad teen drama #435
Funniest part is the Jaune reaction the writers inserted; Jaune:
"Feels like I've been waiting forever for that!" Since when has Jaune talked to Blake or Yang for more than a minute? When has Jaune been close to either of these two, let alone together? Jaune's closest connection to someone in RWBY is Ruby, hell, he knows her so well that her reaction to him giving her Crescent Rose, stops his angry rant because he can see (better than anyone else apparently) that Ruby is deeply hurt. This is like if I went back to my highschool in 20 years, saw two of my sister’s friends kissing and I was like "I've been waiting forever for that!"

Will all their shows be overrated now or is their pity factor no longer as important now ukraine gets more attention? They've done absolutely nothing new since 2013 they've kept milking the same yaoi- and yuri-bait shows for a decade. Together with their boring in-house LN adaptations. When will they do something innovative again? Can we finally just agree that VEG is boring, lacks subtlety, amateurish emotionally manipulative drivel.

If we are talking about fetishizing the concept of gayness in yaoi then that is as you point out disrespectful - whether it is really all that destructive I'm skeptical of. The same fetishization does not necessarily apply to yuri, where significant readership is queer and has out lesbian writers. There are of course gay males writing yaoi and gay male readers but certainly the minority.
Also your scientific anti porn thing (there is no scientific consensus, porn compulsion is different than addiction) and generality of statements implies a condemnation of kink or sexual nature in the community. Such as saying Yuri authors are drawing their own voyeur Which is ridiculous because so many of them are in fact queer. Or dropping a christians take that is so monstrously disrespectful to how gay people experience their own relationships. If you're going to retreat to just a mild condemnation of fujos sure whatever, but a greater part of your arguments is clearly rooted in moralistic condemnations of sexuality especially those common in queer communities.

>>11363 In this case it's definitely true, people gushed about it. The only differences is that they had Adora and Catra go back and forth at RPing Anthy and Utena:
In "Save the Cat" Adora/Utena goes to the "The Castle where Eternity Dwells/ Castle in the Sky" which is Horde Prime's ship to get Catra/Anthy out of this brainwashed toxic loop she is in. skip to her becoming She-Ra again and that is pretty much a direct shot from later in the Utena series where the sword is in her right hand and Anthy/Catra is held just like that in the left.
The pic I posted is one of the reverses; Adora being trapped/enslaved to Destiny much like Anthy had no volition of her own. Her wants and needs are swept aside for everyone else. Catra/Utena says she's not going to let her keep doing this alone, like Utena.
On paper this is a fine homage, but the execution is important, and copying it just feels cheap, since the rest of the writing is more like Sailor Moon's filler episodes than Utena.
This is also true, but frankly that really isn't my main point of contention, it's the unoriginality combined with the modern "humor", shapeless, tumblr-type artstyle and liberal idpol inserted that just aggravate me. Utena never hid it's Yuri but simultaneously made it gracious and beautiful - art instead of cheap drama - and so even as a straight person it didn't bother me in the slightest.
I also dislike it because it' not JUST a Magical Girl Series but a Reboot of an existing series (by a person that hadn't even been around during She-Ra) and it just felt lame. it's not even the gay stuff, that's normal, it's the hyperfocus on that and only that, ALL the girls are Lesbian Caricatures and the only male protagonist is a pathetic stereotypical soyboy. The original Bow had been a beefy yet flamboyant man and gay or not seemed like a good fellow and supporting character, the new Boiw has the character of a moist noodle.
Link related kinda explains it at length and from a female perspective:

>>10826 Comedy aside Bumblby ship is kinda cringe, and Season 7+ having hints of that relationship is kinda pathetic. I could see Yang being bisexual, she's a Rough and Tough Gal; in Volume 1 she literally made a comment during the sleepover (the night she met Blake) that she liked sleeping in the same room with the boys, and clearly her character loves to tease others, and sexual relationships are often a common source of teasing between friends and siblings, that's not a sign of sexual attraction. But Assuming Yang is a pendulum, Blake is an arrow, having obviously straight fantasies and attractions in early Seasons; she likes a trashy romance novel about Ninjas (Icha Icha?) and had a thing for Adam and later Sun.
But that doesn't stop shippers. Still they're not important, most people thought that Yang and Blake interactions as “Yang misses Blake so much.” in Volume 5. They held hands and Yang comforted her after the fight with Adam. Straight girls do this sometimes, it’s not a big deal. Of course they missed each other. They are best friends because they have been through a lot together. But then in Volume 7 you have subtle-unsubtle yuribaiting because Roosterteeth's management clearly thinks that they're not diverse enough and so incline to the shippers.
So the questions to have are "What’s wrong with two girls being best friends?" and "Why do some fans of the show focus more on the ships than the actual show itself?"
Anyhow this' been my TED talk, come again soon and have a good night.

https://www.mintpressnews.com/pentagon-leaned-hollywood-sell-war-afghanistan/278568/ (It's all archived on archive.is or wayback for the pdfs).
The article goes really into depth on several films and their producers, directors, actors etc. and the sheer involvement of the US Army in trying to hype up their forces. They also go into gaming, streaming and sports funding of the US military and the effort it goes into making itself look good. I also very much suggest clicking on the links and other articles as they contain a myriad of information that keeps spreading and spreading like an hegemonic octopus of capitalist militarism.

>>10365 A girl that is interested and behaves in traditionally masculine ways but isn't gender dysphoric (I specify this because conflating that and trans people is something liberal ideologues exploit).
- Gender-Bender is closer to dysphoria, as it's a male mind in a female body unless the male and female minds are totally separate (a la Rin and Ran from To-Love Ru).
- Having a cock =/= masculinity even if it is generally masculine and related to traditionally masculine things. A girly girl having a dick is just that, not necessarily a tomboy
- Dyke lesbians can BE Tomboy but usually its more Top-Bottom dynamics in lesbians, having 1 partner take a more masculine role in bed, so yuri =/= masculine.
- Short hair cuts and Working out can be Tomboy traits, but aren't indicators of Tomboys in and of themselves (OP goes into it).
- Femdom isn't masculine because it's female specific domination, unrelated to masculine behavioral traits, as male and female can be Top/Bottom.
Prime examples of Tomboys: Toph Bei Fong (ATLA), Ellie (Pixar's UP), Temari (Naruto) etc.
