No, yuri genre fans were honest to goodness upset that it wasn't about lesbians. Some of them even said it was queerbaiting to have "Yuri" in the title and be about guys.

I mean, I don't see what's wrong - in principle - about wanting to see more of the things that you like, and being disappointed that something that might have been wasn't

Obviously to call it queerbaiting is dumb but

I am calling bullshit on this claim.

unless you're talking about seriously retarded 14-year-old tumblrinas or something.

"Yuri" isn't even the actual name of the genre in Japan, it'd be GL. Plus Yuri is a word that has lots of meanings, as well as a name, so no one in Japan would ever hear this title and think it might be about lesbians.

As someone who frequents Japanese sites, I can tell you that 百合 (yuri) is used. Even if the genre name is GL, yuri is still used quite a lot.

I agree with your last point, though, as Yuri is written as ユーリ, not 百合 in the title. Also notice how it's Yuuri, not yuri. So there really shouldn't have been any confusion.

I did see a few angry comments from people who were pissed it wasn't yuri and calling it fujoshi bait. They reminded me of the rabble complaining when Free came out, just not as loud or numerous. Never saw anybody saying it was queerbaiting with the title though. That seems like a whole other level of stupid.
