Well aren't you overgeneralizing a lot there. Unfortunate as that is for you, it's not the standard at all. Asia is a pretty big place.

Let's forget other countries, Japanese girls hold each others hands and kiss each other on the cheeks frequently. And that's just "friendship". I know we Yuri fans make that "omg handholding" jokes a lot, but it's the least homosexual thing two girls can do. Unless this whole joke is supposed to be sarcastic. Then I'm sorry for bringing this up, I just found it a little weird. Even if it's a manga that's supposed to exaggerate things.

I've been wondering about that, in the Middle East women holding hands is completely normal and no one would think you're gay. I always thought it was weird in America it's stigmatized

I don't think it is necessarily stigmatized in America. I think it depends on the crowd, your in.

This ^ tbh, though it is also kind of country related. As someone living in Belgium, handholding once reaching adolescence is extremely uncommon. The few times I did see 2 girls/women walking hand in hand, they were kissing each other as well (in a pretty gay gf kind of way). Locking arms however, I would say is common (especially between girls in younger years of adolescence, or between family members) and not at all seen as gay. I feel like holding hands is more gay than locking arms.

Missed my timing to say this, but Nagisa is an extremely cute name, wow.
Plus that public hand holding... I knew they've been making progress, but that's just skipping steps into something real dangerous and lewd.

Hibike Euphonium and queerbaiting are both pretty obviously off topic for this discussion. Take it elsewhere, please.

My intervention was truly in vain.

Kissing each other on the cheeks as a greeting is actually quite common in a lot of countries. Not in Japan though.
I don't think I know every intricacy of Japanese culture, but two high-school girls walking hand in hand in the hallway is weird. Holding hands in a crowd not to lose each other is something else of course. It's pretty easy to tell playful handholding between friends and clearly flustered entangling.

The "romantic friendship" nonsense has mostly died out in Japan, so I doubt that it's common anymore.

As for this specific example, what Hino was worried about was that people would look down on Koguma for being friendly with a delinquent. That's why the "Are they going out?" question caught her so off-guard. She didn't expect it either.

People blushing and saying "Are they going out?" is definitely an over-exaggerated thing. It happened because this is fiction. I am 100% sure it won't happen irl. As said by someone above, hand-holding is something that is stigmatized in the West. Asians, be it any country, don't care.

Well they were blushing and acting lovey-dovey, so I don't think it's that far-fetched to react that way, especially in high-school where literally everything is drama.

There is a difference between stigmatization and unusual behaviour. Yes, they can hold hands, but the way it is done just is very different depending on the mood. This isn't 20 years ago, people are aware that lesbians exist and are probably even curious about it. How serious they take that gossip is another matter...

I grew up in a rural area, where most people have no idea how homosexuality works. Maybe that's why this whole situation seems weird for me.

this thread is making poor nezchan work way too hard.

i am betting that since these last 2 chapters were kind of a climax of what is published that yuri Ichigo will slow down for the last 4 or 5 chapters that are out.

I grew up in a rural area too, and it would absolutely be given a funky look by just about anyone. But then again I grew up in a Bible Belt state, too, which doesn't help.

But then again AGAIN, I now live in one of the most liberal areas of the US and in one of the most LQTBQ+ friendly areas (the PNW) and I've still gotten the ugly glance or two when holding hands with my gf in public in the past. So the US just needs more time to grow up I guess.

Why would you need help? I mean, re-reading a chapter from a yuri romcom is the opposite of a problem...

EDIT:
In fact, the real problem is that you didn't re-read the rest of it as well.

In America's current political, and social climate, it's actually going backwards.

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but if you'd bothered to type that exact question into Google, you'd know already.

For not trying to be a dick, you sure nailed it. I mean it was a good suggestion, but really really RUDE!

I just didn't think of google until you suggested it, okay. Of course I immediately did google it after you so kindly reminded me. And google wasn't an dick about it, either.

Edit: tbh if you would have just answered the question, then added your snarky comment, I would have thanked you, then quietly felt stupid. However not including the answer was a total dick move.

They did. And I don't like where this is going.

I mean, sometimes people ship you for superficial reasons and it doesn't make sense to date because of those.
Though in this case it wasn't shipping I suppose.

If I had simply answered the question you wouldn't have looked it up on google and the neural pathway that is now forming where you simply google a question instead of asking it in a thread wouldn't have started. It wasn't a dick move, it was for your own personal growth. You're welcome.

There's been no argument, and it's likely the person would have continued to ask even more easily-Googlable questions in threads if I hadn't pointed it out. This is not the "what does this acronym stand for?" thread. There's been no trolling either, so you need to calm down.
