Haha look at this mess of carnage and ideals. Just as predicted.
Elicit human response? So what? If its fun its fun, if its not it not. I dont look to fiction for reality, that takes away the appeal of such made up entertainment. I would watch a live action show if i wanted reality on fiction.
It's ridiculous some people tend to think that fiction and reality should always share the same ideals. Sure lesbian straight friendship is great ideal in the real. But if i wanted to be politicaly correct all the damn time, i woudnt read specialzed niches like GL. Just consider it a difference of ideals and go on with your life. What u want out of yuri and what i want are different.
Before I start ranting about this, I'd like to say that I'm sleep-deprived, so this might be nonsensical. But, yeah, I think I should at least be able to get my point across. Also, this is probably bait, isn't it? Literally everything you've said in this thread is complete bullshit, so it probably is, but... whatever.
Don't try to pull that "oh, don't be so politically correct!!" bullshit now, idiot. No one's saying anything about how "fiction and reality should share the same ideals." No one's taking any moral high ground. They're just saying that it's nice to finally have a dude in yuri who's actually just a friend since that pretty much never shows up in yuri (okay, I'm super tired right now, so it's possible that some people actually are, but I'm pretty much most people here aren't... not that it's wrong to believe that anyway but that's besides the point). Call it idealistic, but I call it something relatively unique to the genre. If you're okay with reading the same "girl meets girl at an all-girls school that has all girls and no boys and they fall in love (no boys anywhere)" story over and over again, then that's fine, but some people like to actually spice things up and try out new things. It has nothing to do with being "politically correct." Also, you can't pull that "we just like different things" card when you were the one that claimed that everyone who likes something different is lying to themselves.
ALSO, who says realistic fiction can't be appealing? In most serious works, looking to fiction for reality is... kind of the point. Yeah, sure, not in this manga in particular, but I'd say that's the most appealing part of many fictional works. You're really limiting yourself if you legitimately think that.
And, besides, if you actually one thing right about the Rin being gay thing, I'll take it as a... tradeoff, I suppose. It seems the only thing she's ever written (surely, there must be more than just this and Prunus Girl...?) was a yaoi manga with a yuri sidecouple... and this is, according to you, a yuri manga with a yaoi sidecouple... which seems like it'll be far less important anyway since Shion and her girlfriend were pretty important characters and this new dude definitely won't be. I find Rin to be a funny character myself, and it'd be cool if he's fleshed out a bit. Yeah, I admit that it's a problem that there's only one volume left and a lot will apparently be used on him and I'd definitely prefer more actual yuri, but... I don't share the same dumb reasoning as you, at least. If the series weren't axed, I'd be perfectly fine with it.
