I never did say that it couldn't happen, only that in my experience it doesn't very often. That being said, I'm always on the lookout for more decent reading material. I'd love it if you posted some of your favs, to prove me wrong and expose me for the sexist man-hating nazi that I am and all that.
Your experience seems to be very, very limited. It is extremely rare for men to do yuri. You can check a list of my favorites I've been forging through the ages right beside my post count.
Some male yuri authors included in that list:
- Kishi Torajirou: Because Virgin's Empire is awesome. A huge, massive and awesome perv.
- Ootomo Megane: A favorite of mine because we share a glasses fetish.
- Higashiyama Shou: Prism, Stretch and Vampeerz. Mind you, this guy does loli hentai.
- Suga Atsushi: Notes From The Garden Of Lilies.
- TATSUBON: Because Tadokoro-san is great.
- Nishio Yuhta: After Hours
- Kurata Uso: Linkage
- Isomoto Tsuyoshi: Girl's Ride
- Heebee: Majyo to Houki to Kurobuchi Megane
- Yasuda Kousuke: Kusanagi-Sensei is Being Tested
- Hattori Mitsuru: Concerto. (Another ecchi author)
- Yoshitomi Akihito: Sisterism (My avatar is from that series)
- Itou Ryou: Yamanko
Info taken from baka-updates not sure if accurate. I didn't know most of these were men. It is particularly surprising that Kurata Uso and Suga Atsushi are male. On the other hand I expected the authors from some ecchi series to be male and I was dead wrong.
More to the point, this is less about the quality of an author's work and more about the intent behind it. On what I've found to be a statistically rarer occasion that a woman writes a female character to be shallowly titillating and sexy, it is more often then not titillating and sexy as a woman would find it, which is personally more up my alley. Which, in turn, brings this back around to being a matter of personal opinion based upon my own experience.
Please elaborate about this intent thing. Because by your previous message and this one you're implying that men are tainting the genre just by writing and/or reading it.
Ad-hominem arguments are a bad look, nee-san. They erode your position by suggesting insecurity and an inability to properly defend your views.
No ad-hominem attack. You're a bigot, full stop. It is you who's putting down male authors just for being male. Just think how screwed up that would be if someone said that about female authors writing yaoi or anything not related to the kitchen and laundry. /s (I'm ashamed I actually had to put that)
