sazumebachi · 03-30-2008, 09:12 PM

one of the best yuri pairings is Soi fongX yoruichi but i kinda have issues with this. i feel so weriod liking it.

is there anything wrong with straight girls liking yuri just a tad bit?

NO. There is absolutely nothing wrong with straight girls liking yuri. First off, romance should be romance - no matter what gender the characters are. So if we're talking about a love story about two girls, what is most important is if it's convincing and sincere enough.

Unless you're homophobic, this really shouldn't be an issue. I support the pairings that I find the most meaningful, and they are a happy mix of het, yaoi and yuri. Who cares about gender - what's important is love.

Indeed. That's why I don't like most fan-yaoi pairings because from what I've seen, the girls only care about the erotic stuff between them. D: Same with fan-yuri pairings because we all know men are perverts. Now like you said, if there is meaning like what you may see in homosexual love manga, then I'm fine with any pairing, whether they be heteral, homo, or bi.

I'm a straight female and I'm an equal-opportunity shipper. If I think the characters would work well together, you can get me to ship almost anything.

I'm straight but I like yuri. Girls are so much prettier to look at.

I was going to say exactly the same thing. I'm not surprised that you beat me to it! ^_^

-nod nod- I agree

I'm most definitely a person that can appreciate the beauty of women.. hahahahahaha.

Love and passion is beautiful, and when it sincerely happens between two people, it makes those two people beautiful. The gender is irrelevant in the case of sincere love.

..imo..

I don't think there's anything wrong about it. Even though I'm not a fan of yuri, I know a few straight girls that are into Yuri and it doesn't bother me.

kuroi_shi · 04-05-2008, 01:45 AM

I love yuri ^^;; ... my favourite pairings come from Utena... Utena/Anthy is definitely tops.. they kiss at the end of the Utena movie ^^;;
Sailor moon has some Yuri pairings too.. Specifically Haruka, and Michiru.. (.. a lesbian couple, Who were turned into cousins in the censored US version)

sazumebachi · 04-07-2008, 11:21 PM

thats messed up that the dubbed company made them cousins :_:

I slash everything, so yuri is not a problem for me.

eva_edwards · 04-15-2008, 09:43 AM

Absolutly not... I make Yuri Videos all the time and I also have Yuri pictures on my computer, plus I have a Boy Friend... I also think that it is wrong of someone to judge someone because they slash things, there is nothing wrong with slash, plently of straight people do it.

ChibiTenshi · 04-15-2008, 03:54 PM

I don't like Yuri, but I don't think there's something wrong with a straight girl liking Yuri. Though, I still have to see the day where i meet a straight guy that likes Yaoi... X3 seriously, I haven't met one.
