@appstore I find the idea that “because you’re a man, you can’t criticize yuri” both dumb and interesting. To generalize it: yuri, like any other form of literature, should be open to interpretation. You consume it, reflect on it, and then share your thoughts, whether those are critical or full of praise.
If you're a man or a woman, part of the LGBTQ+ community or not, as long as you engage with yuri thoughtfully and don’t hold a narrow-minded belief that it exists solely for one audience, then your perspective is valid. When you treat yuri as a piece of art of any form wethers its deep emotions, beautiful art stlye in-depth characters etc, gender or sexuality shouldn't disqualify you from having an opinion. From what I’ve seen, the people on this site are generally open-minded and understanding. I hope that mindset continues to grow. :)
