Ok since the topic is getting pretty big I might as well give my own opinion.
I think one of the reasons why a lot of people don't like or care about yuri is the same problem that has been going on for such a long time people are afraid or not attached to the unknown and the market is over saturated by malexfemale hollywood "romance" which I love to call fake romance, Men are raised to not really care about anything not "manly" and girls are brainwashed by the fake romance.
hell I used to be a homofobic because of bad influence and ignorance, one of my relatives even yucks when there's a girlxgirl kiss on a movie.
I don't like malexfemale at all, I don't really mind yaoi and I love yuri. I can't remember the exact reason or when it clicked on my brain but the more I watched and read the more attached I got. So that said I think is part life experiences and part been born this way. (I've NEVER seen a single malexfemale relationship that works in real life)
I'm actually having trouble talking about the subject with my best friend cuz I don't really know what he'll think I want to give him a taste of the awesomeness of yuri but when I talk about romance in anime he always mentions generic shonen and when I said I cried watching madoka his answer: "are there any guys? cuz I only see girls so why did you cry?".(I thought the subtext might work)
well in the end not everyone is the same so this is just my opinion. Oh and good luck to all the girls here I know it must be REALLY difficult to find a perfect girl who likes you(its already hard for good men)
oh I'm not manly...at all if you can't tell by my posts XD ah I wish I was a girl I could have found my princess (hopefully)
wow that was a lot of text lol
