is the taboo aspect wat makes yuri interesting in the first place for you guys?
i wonder if in the future it won’t be as special
I'm sure for everyone it's a little different. As for me, I avoid gratuitously sexual stuff; it's romance that interests me. The kinds of stories I like, where the characters seem to form a deeper, more emotional connection in the end, seem more common in yuri.
If the taboo aspect come into it at all, it's that traditional romance stories are more like a battle between the two characters, where one tries to wear down the other's defenses; whereas, the characters in yuri fight together to overcome the common foe of society's prejudices. Which one do you think sounds like a healthier recipe for a long-term relationship? (In Their Story, it's a little of a mix.)
In that sense, it's not merely being taboo that makes the story interesting, but that being taboo sets a framework which provides for a more interesting story. So, yes, I do believe it may be less special in the future. Though, probably not in my lifetime. Sadly.
