^^I hope that was sarcastic, because I'd assume an artist that has sometimes featured "problematic" elements in their work would know the difference between depicting content artistically and endorsing doing it IRL.

^Also, I'm not defending tagging their ship name or making art to piss people off, and explicitly called it homophobic to do so. I am talking about the general existence of the content matter itself.

^^^^The existence of homophobic comments about a work does not mean that the creator intended their work to be homophobic. If it worked like that, the conservative commentary about 1984 would make you think it was written by Ayn Rand herself. Also, you are still presuming the intentions of ALL creators based on how SOME act. Are you genuinely unable to think of why someone would make problematic content for reasons other than pure malice?

^Part of artistic freedom means that content you don't personally like is going to exist. If the creator doesn't make a fuss and they aren't trying to push a message, then just move on like the rest of us. Otherwise, you're nothing but one of those "stop liking things I don't" killjoys that ruin fan spaces.

^First item, not inherently absent context. Second and third, that is homophobic, but that's because of the details that are not applicable to Hinghoi, which is who I'm talking about specifically. In addition, I would wager that a good many (if not most) of hetero content is just because the creators/customers get off to it. I agree that some creators do so out of hatred, but you can't use that to make assumptions about ALL of them.

^^Looking through their Twitter, I genuinely can't see anything like that. Can you point me in the right direction?

And no, I don't consider it INHERENTLY homophobic, only the artist's prerogative and freedom of expression, just like any other works considered problematic by society. If they did stuff like adding homophobic commentary or spammed it in reply to works only of the couple, that would very much be homophobic.

^^^^^I actually saw the exact opposite. People were saying ANY straight art with them was homophobic no matter the context, and notably hated Hinghoi, calling them a bigoted exploiter that doesn't deserve to have their works featured in the community. Meanwhile, posts featuring canonically straight characters were accepted without hesitation, which honestly struck me as a double standard.

I usually don't ask for recommendations but i'm going to try it a couple time for now.
I just finished Model & Manager-san, Anyone got a yuri manga with this kind of dynamic? where one of the character is kinda being pampered by the other (or they mutually does it to each other). Like how Yuria likes being praised by Okabe when she does a good job and is a little clingy, and Okabe is kinda taking care of her.
I'm not mad about nsfw elements if they fit but preferably i'm looking for this kind of calm wholesome pace.

You definitely would like "Hogushite, Yui-san". Wholesome idiots-falling-in-love story of two black company office workers helping each other relax in a stressful work environment.

is there any yuri manga that is just super edgy and funny like 4chan humor

Going to assume you mean humor that is crass and constantly crossing in the line, rather than slurs and stereotypes. I would suggest:

Yuugai Shitei Doukyuusei

Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!

Onee-san wa Joshi Shougakusei ni Kyoumi ga arimasu

Namekawa-san Won't Be Mocked

Mononoke Sharing

Looking Up to Magical Girls

Joshi Shougakusei Hajimemashita

Inugami-san and Nekoyama-san

Ayame and Amane

Long-time lurker that only recently decided to make an account here. I have a large number of images for a relatively underposted fandom and I'm wanting to know whether I should request them all at once or limit it to so many a day.
