You came to fight, huh?

[(Anonymous)]

I can tell that much but I'm not sure what they want to fight about...

[(Anonymous)]

Broadly, that the anime series Yuri On Ice is... exploitative and homophobic, I guess?

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe the bisexuality thing? Gotta admit, I haven't heard that one before. Is this 'cause of the Chihoko thing (which wasn't actually about a girl) and the anime making it look like Yuri was into Yuuko at one point?

[(Anonymous)]

lol mte, I feel like OP combined three secrets into one and missed the punchline on all three. hey, we've all been there, I guess

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who is relatively new to shipping m/m because of YoI, can someone tell me how this series could have been made non-fujoshi? Like, what are some examples of a scenario that would make a scene fujoshi rather than whatever else anons are arguing is better representation (BL?)?

[(Anonymous)]

Probably a serious, realistic and educating story about homosexuality, or at least an unpopular work categorized as seinen, specially if has character designs that aren't "pretty."

That's pretty much the only way for anime/manga with m/m to not get dismissed as fanservice for fujoshis by certain circles.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, this is gonna be fun. Anybody want popcorn?

[(Anonymous)]

*Settles in chair, kicks feet up*

[(Anonymous)]

It's because fujoshi fetishize gay men and that's bad. Spending half the animation budget on butts, randon nudity and pretty crying, however, has absolutely nothing to do with making gay mean look appealing to the female viewers.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't get the sudden hate for fujoshi. Seems like just another way to hate on straight girls.

[(Anonymous)]

watch nobody bite

0/10

You need to be less obvious if you want to create an effective bait.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm gay and I absolutely think Yuri on Ice is good gay representation. I would totally take your bait, but I actually have no idea what you're saying or trying to get at? Bisexuality? What bisexuality are you talking about though? Which character is bisexual? And what's wrong with that official YoI artwork? So many questions.

[(Anonymous)]

Yuuri is bisexual.

[(Anonymous)]

It's called being delusional. Any sane person knows that this show was after those sweet fujobucks.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, so I know nothing about this anime at all, so I'm maybe missing something, but is this official art of what is apparently three men (boys?) in a hot spring supposed to illustrate the obvious bisexuality? Because, um. How?

[(Anonymous)]

I thought it was supposed to illustrate the "aimed at fujoshi" bit since apparently only fujoshi and nobody else would be interested in seeing hot guys bathing in a hot spring together.

[(Anonymous)]

If it treats bisexuality and homosexuality as things that are completely unremarkable and just a part of everyday life? Then guess what, that IS good gay representation.

[(Anonymous)]

That's pretty much what it does. And it's not just the main characters, even random bystanders treat two guys together as something perfectly normal. It's quite refreshing.

[(Anonymous)]

That's one of the things I loved so much about the show. It was just so very nice.

[(Anonymous)]

The creator basically said she wanted to create a world where discrimination just didn't exist, so she did. It's absolutely a world where no one would blink at same-sex attraction. In fact, even though it's (sort of) a misunderstanding, there's a part where a whole group of people congratulate the main couple on their engagement, like they would any couple making an announcement. It is refreshing, and it's really sweet.

[(Anonymous)]

Nonono, don't you see, an anime with good LGBT representation must be so niche that nobody knows it, entirely unappealing to fujoshi, ideally include lots of gritty suffering for them LGBTs or be bland slice of life stuff without much actual plot, and include lots of hot steamy action without being titillating to a female viewership. Only then will it achieve the status of tru representation (tm) according to anon in this (and every other YoI) thread.
