Why is yuri drawn by yaoi fangirls so good /a/?

Probably because they don't make every girl look like a lipstick lesbian moeblob. Looking at the Kirara fatguy audience, they call every girl that isn't super neotenous and feminine looking a butch or a man.

I mean yeah a lot of people in the past thread I made called Hikaru (blond girl in OP manga) an ugly manfaced super-butch bulldyke but she's really "what if you had this really princely Rose of Versailles-ish girl who could totally rock masculine clothes but ALSO had big prominent boobs and an hourglass figure and long shapely legs and wore short skirts and high-heels and pantyhose and sexy girly lingerie and bought you similar clothes because she loves you so much and had cute dates with you and then you went home and fucked each others' brains out" (author pointed out she made sure neither girl ever removed their high-heels during the final sex scene)
I think the reason it did exceptionally well with women on cmoa, pixiv, dlsite etc (temporarily reached #1 on cmoa in both "TL manga" & "women's manga" categories) is specifically because it mixed these "extremely hot assertive seductive bishonen" and "hot busty extremely womanly woman" traits together that are normally not mixed and accidentally created the most equal parts dreamy & fuckable waifu possible for her audience, many or most of whom never read yuri porn or had a waifu before.

Definitely an inspiration and in the same ballpark but not quite the same since she overwhelmingly leans in the masculine direction while not in sailor senshi form and doesn't star in a hyper-sexual fetishy porn manga. Like, she's fundamentally from a kids' show.

Was very true in early Yuri Shimai/Hime days but I think at this point the two aesthetics are pretty separate to the point where "yuri born specifically out of fujoshi culture and made for a fujoshi audience" is very noticeable.
How often does regular yuri look & feel like this for example https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/36342542

>>286428010
If it's a complex series with a lot of drama or something,like ZenKowa, I can absolutely get it. But if it's a thread like this where it's mostly image dump before dying at 100 posts, I don't see a reason why the designated yuri thread can't just recycle it not to flood the catalog.
I say this because I think the anon I was replying to was the one who complained about a yuri thread that used a Dream Jumbo Girl pic as the OP, but that thread barely has any discussion about it. That manga doesn't have much to discuss, but he can just start a conversation to discuss it normally.

No majority of yuri is still made by women and most of them identify as bisexual who are into yaoi also. The difference is that since the market is largely composed of otaku men they just make it to fit their taste.

It's natural to think cute girls with big tits are hot. obsessive BL fangirls are already seen as ridiculous degenerates, thus they don't have to bother with pretentious stuff like "it's actually immature to like big juicy tits; my tastes are down-to-earth & reasonable" and just draw what naturally turns them on whether it's on men or women

Yaoi fangirls understand very well the difference between male and female characters in romance, their yaoi and yuri really takes advantage of plots that only really work when both characters are the same gender, and distinct between the genders.
A lot of yuri otherwise just follows the same beats as a heterosexual romance manga but with one partner's gender swapped over to match the other. Kirara series fall into this a lot.

Thanks a lot anon, I have since played the game and become absolutely obsessed to the point of searching for fanmade AMVs like it was 2008. This one is amazing by the way (spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epqXnWaUgzk
I saw the game was a huge success in Japan and got novels, a manga and lots of merch, I hope it'll also get an anime so it can become even better known, and a sequel game because the new potential status quo between the MCs would be incredibly interesting.

you probably view everyone that way if they say anything negative about male otaku + positive about female otaku with regards to yuri, but how often do you really see yuri "transbians" give a shit about the culture around BL & josei smut? if that crowd gave a shit then yuri coming from them would be prominent in the west, not as obscure as it is >>286437967

Yes, normal people have no reason to start those dumb arguments, it's literally always mentally ill men who are obsessed in making sure you know they have "female tastes" and so they are by association women and no, they are not.

As far as I'm concerned there's kind of a big difference between something like Kashimashi and a fujo reimagining her favorite yaoi pair as girls. One is dudes inserting themselves in lesbian stories, the other is fangirls doing gender-bending stuff because it's fun.
The only caveat being that I DON'T like it when a doujin uses the "magical transformation" explanation instead of simply "reimagining these characters as girls"... but that's not very common from my experience.

>Kirara series fall into this a lot.
Yuri is absolutely different from the average heterosexual romance manga, especially when compared to ones for other guys. You can see the girls become a couple after three volumes (and continue to explore their relationship after they start dating), romantic intimacy both far more often and far more intensely, and additional side pairings outside of the MCs. Kirara's most popular yuri romance manga right now is features all of those things, even featuring a protagonist with past sexual experience that isn't used as slut correction fuel.
>>
>>286440312
I don't see any difference. Yaoi to yuri or het to yuri is still not yuri to many people. If you like that, more power to you, but I'm just saying that /au/ regulars don't want to use this thread because of that.
Also if we're talking about the "natural enemies of yuri", hetfags and yumes are a must bigger and prominent threat than fujos will ever be.

>>286440312
Kashimashi probably isnt a good example since its one of the few GB that never has the MC never bring up the fact she was a guy after the first episode or the genderbent part of the story actually be relevant. Its kinda like those vague memory Isekai where the protag only gets the knowledge but no memories.
>>
>>286440591
There aren't many posts about fujoshi on yuri threads period. Yurifags tend to have an autism battle over what is and isn't yuri and hating het and purityfags way, way more often than a single post about fujoshi. Like you said, the communities never interact. I think this thread might be a good culture exchange for both sides, but clearly us yurifags just don't mix too well with fujoshi idealism and realism.

Gender bending and gender swapping are different things, gender swapping is not popular but it's not frowned upon because it's not a narrative of a guy becoming a girl. Miyazawa current manga adaptation is a genderswap, his original novel had a male protagonist, then this protagonist at some point in the story observes other universes and saw a female version of himself. The novel was republished now from the POV of the female protagonist and the manga adaptation is from that version of the story.

We had previous yuri and yaoi threads where we actually had fujoshi and both sides just shared works rather than fight with each other, you are confusing people antagonizing you specifically with people antagonizing fujoshi and I strongly suspect in a BL thread fujoshis would be antagonizing you too.

Yes, but I don't really see how "idealism & realism" play into it.

I suspect plenty of people on /a/ like both but get scared off from talking about it.

You don't need to post in this tiny insular 4chan circlejerk which was what the discussion was about, you can talk to your tranny friends on reddit and continue making up scenarios that never happened on this site, though again I strongly suspect everywhere you go, you end the same way with and you are specifically here on this site because you already got banned elsewhere.

It's not popular for sure, Miyazawa got away with it because he already have made a setup for it, but "Jujutsu Kaisen but the characters are girls now" would flop very hard, no doubt of that. This really only works in one direction and publishers are aware of this, otherwise Shueshia would be already pushing for the genderswapped Watanare replacing Renako.

Are you familiar with capitalist/socialist realism? It's the depiction of those systems as the final "reality" of the world. View yuri, yaoi and het in the same way. Most of the time, when someone says
>this isn't realistic!!!
It's them imposing their preferred version of realism onto the world, commonly het realism, also known as heteronormativity. When a heavily yaoi leaned person, this case a fujoshi, does yuri, they wouldn't be able to separate their yaoi realism to yuri realism, rather impose that onto yuri.
In essence all of them are idealist, but it's based on a preexisting art movement, so I decided to include both.

OH! Okay, I totally get you now.
>When a heavily yaoi leaned person, this case a fujoshi, does yuri, they wouldn't be able to separate their yaoi realism to yuri realism, rather impose that onto yuri.
see I don't think this is really a bad thing. Kishi Torajiro drawing yaoi as a yurifag, 7menzippo drawing yuri as a yaoifaghag, it's all fine and creates fun variety. as for how it relates to 4chan fanbases specifically, well I think a lot of subcommunities here would benefit from being less cliquey.

Try being less of a faggot then
>>
>>286441309
It isn't about cliques. As said before, some ideas from both groups just don't mesh well together. And as previously posted, we just don't have much in common for the fundamentalist and hardcore factions of both groups to interact or complain about each other. I can guarantee you, that most yurifags are much more okay with a yaoi side couple than a het couple.

No fantasy*. No forced harems*. Smut and horniness is fine. I don't mind NTR, as long as it does not turn into a soap opera trainwreck.
I prefer dramas or SoL, and tragic characters over slapstick comedy.
To be fair, I went through almost every title on the top quadrants of pic related and I was thinking of starting人妻教師が教え子の女子高生にドはまりする話 but it might be too advanced for my level, so I was looking for a plan B.
アフタヌーンティーは如何ですか seems to be on par with Shuukura in terms of difficulty, which would defeat the purpose.
As long as some title doesn't have stuff marked with * then I might try just anything.

Elaborate since I'm curious what you're referring to and I don't want to assume.

I spend a lot of time with blfags -yaoi is an older term which doesn't see much use. It means explicit porn /pwp. Bl encompasses all of it, op just needs to realize they have a niche within a community, is using wrong terms, and needs to stop the bullshit because he'd get laughed out of bl threads as well. Acting like an underage faggot >>286441457 'teehee I like everyone’ is going to get them ostracized which is why they continually spam their thread here

it is but i didn't really feel like typing the whole history it out.sorry I thought it would be the easiest way to say it. the point being is that they aren't starting as it's been that way for just as long. although i know a lot more intricacies about BL

from my personal experience, in western english-speaking circles, "GL" tends to be mostly used by people who overwhelmingly care about korean stuff above all else and fans of japanese stuff are more likely to also use "yuri"

>>286441782
>>286441788
I'm talking about nips. They didn't use it much until recently.

Most kirara stuff for example, lots of series where the fact the girls have romantic feelings for each other is made clear (and nowadays develop into a romantic relationship in the ending) but it's by no means a romance story.
>>
>>286442111
Mujica, Symphogear and the occasional kirara or heavy subtext sports manga. Before anyone tries to "but this-" I consider any work where the potential for romance can exist between the characters if given the space as yuri.
>>
>>
>>286442267
you've yet to explain why you're mad at me >>286441707 and also you're using terms yourself genuinely wrong now - "yuri is when porn" is a 2000s deviantart-tier western misconception. and you were giving me shit for using "yaoi"?

>>286441420
By difficulty do you mean in terms of vocabulary? When you've read Shuukura you probably have a good grasp on normal Japanese, most works are just going to be about the same, but reinforcing what you already know isn't a bad thing either, and will make it easier to take on something new. Hitozuma Kyoushi might be harder due to Iruma's heavier usage of philosophical monologues and environmental descriptions, but I don't really think you'll find anything intermediate. What's going to challenge you at this point is niche subjects bombarding you with terminology you're unfamiliar with (which is why Kirara manga can be surprisingly difficult).
Recommmendations to follow.

I suppose at barely N3~ it's a bit of everything. Longer paragraphs are still a pain, more 'advanced' grammar mostly likely flies over my head or I barely get the gist of it (i.e., set expressions, adverbial shit I'm not familiar with, etc.)
A lack of vocabulary is definitely my biggest issue.
>>
>>286443089
>n3
nta but this means your thinking that afternoon tea serving no purpose is completely wrong. At this level any reading will be productive. You will gain vocab reading it and different writers have different idiosyncrasies so your non-vocab skill will improve too.
>>
>>286441420
>>286442440
Obviously I strongly recommend eventually reading 人妻教師.
>桃田ロウ
アフタヌーンティーは如何ですか is definitely smut, it lacks the depth of Shuukura but it's a pleasant and easy read, it's also 2/5 of Shuukura's length so you can immerse yourself in it. Her current ongoing story とあるクローゼットの恋の話 is much heavier, and follows a closeted JK3 who dreams of moving to Tokyo and coming out but gets entangled in a codependant relationship with the girl she's in love with by helping her take care of her baby brother, the story makes excellent use of single perspective, and the protagonist's doubts about the other girl are beautifully utilized.
>綾加奈
ぼくらは吠える弱い犬だから and 私は君の味方だと囁くことしかできないけれど both tell intertwined school love character dramas focused around a single event by shifting through several characters' perspectives. 子猫を拾う、子猫の癖に is a story of two little girls picking up a stray kitten with FIV, both girls character develop heavily throughout the book. The stories are all tight and well put together, the author is very good at making each perspective feel different. I think the first book is of the highest quality and has a great hook right from the start, the second has the novelty of shifting through the perspectives of all 5 girls on the cover, the third book is a lot more angsty and has the novelty of the characters starting out as young children. Her other works are of lesser quality.
>犬甘あんず
I assume you've already read Ubaware, her other works really worth checking out are クラスの姫は私のわんこ, which is intense, smutty, and exciting, but has a pretty limp ending and 私のことが大好きなクラスメイトに初めてを全部押し付ける話, which is very vanilla but manages to maintain a really sweet atmosphere and stays fully enjoyable from start to finish.

I never called her 'ugly'. She's handsome and not unattractive as she is, but the combination of the masculine face and the very curvy body comes off as very uncanny and tranny-like in a way I can't see as genuinely sexy. She's designed to appeal to the yaoi fanbase. I see nothing wrong with this, rather I find it actively cool that the art can be made with cross appeal like that, but she's not the main object of affection for me.
>>286425049
I love Hakura and consider her my favorite depiction of a lesbian in any media. She strikes me as natural blend between the masculine and feminine in both appearance and attitude.
