Get the fuck outta here with that fujobait bullshit

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, the day that shot of Victor's ass never existed

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not saying that 'fujobait' is a thing and YOI isn't it

I'm saying get outta here with the whole categorization schema

[(Anonymous)]

?? Do you mean that YOI isn't fujobait, or that it's got qualities outside of being fujobait?

I categorize because it's a form of fanservice I've got little patience with unless the show is exceptionally good, and YOI made its statement loud and clear already from the beginning.

[(Anonymous)]

Fujobait is not a useful genre categorization tool

[(Anonymous)]

Person who didn't watch past the first episode, detected.

And a show about a meaningful lesbian relationship wouldn't have had any ass shots, natch.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly anime is just so respectful of women characters. I would argue that's the most remarkable and consistent thing about anime.

[(Anonymous)]

is this sarcasm/what anime are you watching?? shonen is terrible with female charas

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I doubt I would've remembered their names if I hadn't seen it through to the bitter end. And as I said above, I wouldn't have cared about dumb fanservice if YOI had been about women. I don't know if it's just me who's bad at looking or whatever, but woman-centered anime that isn't either moe or shoujo is depressingly hard to come by.

[(Anonymous)]

And as I said above, I wouldn't have cared about dumb fanservice if YOI had been about women.

then why do you care about it in this instance? And not just care about it, but act like it invalidates the whole show?

[(Anonymous)]

There are already fifty thousand anime out there about boys and men bonding with other boys and men as friends, family, and teammates. I want more stories about women having those kinds of bonds with other women. Sure, I want more stories about same-sex relationships too, but YOI isn't getting any extra representation credits from me after it left that one to hang at a point where it can be read as platonic if you really really want to.

Add to that that it didn't live up to the promises of the first few episodes. The plot is old, there are a lot of troubles with pacing and characterisation, and we all know about where the animation went. I wanted to like it, but the holy Victuuri was not enough to let me overlook those problems the way a lot of other people were able to.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but... you think there are no anime about there about women bonding? like, what? There are probably just as many female-focused anime as male-focused anime...

[(Anonymous)]

Are you really that simple minded or did you simply miss the tons upon tons of slice-of-life school shows with an almost exclusively female casts bonding?
