Hello, Dynasty is run by only a handful of staff and now a bunch of regular uploaders, so tags will be inconsistent a lot of times but we do try to correct them when we find it and as time moves on and things change. Images are mostly staff-side with Dpf at the helm. yuri and subtext will continue to be a hot debate for years to come and as more uploaders are granted privilege they may have their own ideas, staff will still be around to try to shape the final result in the manner we deem appropriate.
As for this, I'm not the uploader of the image nor was I the one to tag it yuri or not for the other Mizuki pairings.
Tagging on Dynasty is to mainly help with searching. It's not to help provide anyone in real life with labels. You'll have NB people calling themselves lesbian/gay and others who will not label themselves as such. There is no hard definition as everyone has their own circumstances. In the end here we have to settle on something for the tags and we strive to have it make sense for the communities involved and to also help with searching of course.
@eromancer Look man, perhaps in your confusion you're not realizing it, but the manner of writing you wrote your initial posts came off not as confusion but as with some authority. Perhaps you meant it, perhaps you didn't. I'm going to tell you that I was irked all the same. If you intend on engaging for the intent of clarification or further context, I would say you should ask a question rather than providing further statements. This is why you were called being a "cis fuck" which, while of course rude and something we don't want to be proliferating on here too much either, was something you walked into without knowing by appearing to be another cishet guy in the world trying to talk in place of the minorities (I am also cishet, if that means anything).
Also as a side note yes, there are going to be people who embrace certain minority groups and exclude others with prejudice, even if they are also part of an endangered minority group themselves. It's an unfortunate fact of the world we live in.
@Perlen297 @skelly85 I'm not a Project Sekai follower so I'm going to take your words, as well as what is available in their wiki and such from my searches, as reason to look back at the other Mizuki pairings to tag with yuri.

This isn't the place for personal quabbles with each other's gaming habits nor is this image thread the place for Genshin Impact. I will say that I recommend not equating someone's dislike of a game to an attack on your person. If you enjoy a game then enjoy the game; you don't need other people's input to continue enjoying it. Gacha games will get tons of dislikes fairly and unfairly that is just what it means to be a major gacha game.
@thechampionmike95 The argument was inherently about bisexuality, without anyone using the term, even if the image wasn't tagged as such. I've added the tag now as I had no idea about the context of the series to confidently add or remove tags prior as tagging is handled by only so many.

Pruned some comments and handed out some temporary removals. This yuri purity shit because bisexuals exist is not welcome.

This argument has gone on long enough. People are allowed to enjoy "crumbs", whether old or young. For all this talk about not being anti-bi, y'all sure are keen on making sure that it can't be classified as real yuri in any context because they may also like a dude sometimes while liking each other too. I'm sure it's unsatisfying for y'all that it's not just women in the series but this purist shit is incredibly annoying.
There will be no more talk in that regards. Shit on it being from a harem series all you want, there will be no bi-erasure here.

You are all free to have your opinions, however being anti-bi is not going to be one of them, okay?
@ShortHairedCrow:
Your post was fine for the first half, then you kinda went off the rocker with the second half. There was nothing Drago said to insinuate they were part of this nefarious group that wanted to a reboot of the series for the wrong reasons. Focus on the argument you wish to make without using logical fallacies to attack the person. I have cut down the offending half of your post.
@Drago928:
I have removed your edit.
People are free to not like certain ships. As a general guideline if you're going to like/dislike a ship and make public posts about it, add to the conversation with reasoning from the source material rather than attacking the posters sailing the ship or sinking it.
thechampionmike95 has not posted that "toxic shipping should be outlawed" but rather that the background of these characters make it problematic for them to enjoy.
Ships should be fun and crack ships spicy fun. If you're going to get angry at a poster for not liking a ship you like (because of canon violence/trauma, no less) and attack them directly then I would suggest you re-evaluate your priorities.
I do suggest everyone be less aggressive in general here.
While no one has broken any rules explicitly, this conversation has gotten a bit deeper than the image topic section was accommodating for.
I'm going to have to request that this specific line of argumentation conclude here and either move elsewhere, like a dedicated post on the forums or just perhaps not trying to bring twitter, formerly known as a useful website, to the forums any more than it has.
And while the background information is relevant to the image in question, it has clearly overtaken the focus here and moved into political considerations of all people involved.
Posters have already made clear why such art by those mentioned and unmentioned artists are harmful rather than something one can completely ignore as "artistic license" when it's being actively shared with malicious purpose. While we are not outright banning opposing viewpoints on this matter, we are going to clamp down on it when to goes from curiosity/questioning to staunch defense. If people want to live and let live, then let the gays/trans/enby live too.
Comments for this piece cleansed. Didn't want to delete a few posts, but they wouldn't make sense without the posts I wanted to remove. Please do not bring imaginary drama from a dying platform over into here. If there's something you wish to critique, then keep it thoughtful and constructive.
I found a pile by accident on my drive. Doesn't feel like some of these were ever "official" so some of these may be contestant submissions.
