Maybe it's because I always valued more beliviable world bulding, but I was always bugged by the "all female high school where every prominent character just happens to be lesbian and they're all friends and/or connected to each other." Like, what are the odds? It took me a while to realize that this kind of "everyone is a lesbian" setting is just a wish fulfillment and nice fantasy for homosexuals. I understand why that kind of story might appeal to people and reading it once in a while is definitely nice, but I think I'm more sharing the sentiment of "having them live in world with men and still wanting to be with other women" just shows how much stronger their feelings/sexuality is (fun fact, I was told Nakatani also shares that view-point). Also while I of course am biased towards preferring all female cast (mostly cos I don't trust authors to not fuck it up), I can see value in positive representation of men in works with mainly lesbian cast. For you being called out for saying it specifically, can't be sure without proper context, but it kinda sounds to me like the person who said that was being very extreme (I have hard time properly explaining what I mean and I need to go now).
