How THE FRICK do I talk to women, I have a I have severe social anxiety and permanent shota face, I can talk to other guys fine but with women my mind goes into overdrive
Anon, with your spacing from the other site. We need to teach you about "Yuribait". You see two guys who look like they're gay, 95% of the time, they're going to be gay.
You see two cute girls who seemingly have more than a platonic relationship... JK, THEY'RE STRAIGHT at the very last moment.
>Valkyrie drive >Samurai Maiden >TLOU and TLOU 2 >Life is Strange >Overwatch >Signalis
And that's only the more recent ones I can remember. Yuri is much more popular than hetshit.
The intent of representation makes all of the difference. In japan, yuri is made for the reader to enjoy the love between the girls. In the west, it more commonly feels like it's being done primarily because the creator feels like it should exist. That's not a problem exactly, but it often comes with an attitude that they want you to just respect the relationship, not enjoy it yourself.
I'd guess it's out of wanting to avoid "fetishizing", or being accused of pandering to straight men over real lesbians, but when you design your product in that way it's not shocking that it puts people off.
Avoiding pandering to straight men is a huge problem because that essentially means you need to make the girls into ugly dykes. If the girls are cute and don't act like leftist prostitutes, that by default appeals to straight men.
What's funny is every single product is a collection of fetishes. You're buying a zombie shooter game to enjoy shooting zombies. If you couldn't shoot zombies in it, you wouldn't like playing it unless you're into that sort of thing.
Any character is fetishized too. When you lean into stereotypes, characters are way more likeable for free, then add stuff to avoid tokenism. Western writers try skipping the first step outright, and fail to give the character anything interesting besides "gay" because everything else is overwritten nuance.
Most gamers have bad taste
but luckily that's changing, with games like Signalis a few days ago and Samurai Maiden next month yuri games are making a resurgence
he ruined mw3 so people decided not to go with him anymore
Too high test for the average gamer, Ganker being mortally afraid of it being a good example
Lesbians are fricking gross, even worse than gays.
>even worse than gays.
Let's not talk nonsense now.

Shotamaxx for pedo women lil homie they'll take care of your insecurites
FRICK I JUST WANT AN ONEESAN ARA ARA WIFE
I still mad after knowing the ending of that series
And why is there no Girls' Last Tour comfy survival game?
>another signalis thread
Because EA decided to replace him with waifubait.
It seems dykes don't care about gaymen.
Her name is spelled "Yuuri".
These are friends.
Cute taters
just play genshin or any other /u/ pandering popular gacha with shipper fanbases and drown in all the daily posted fanart and fanfics, simple as
>drown in all the daily posted fanart and fanfics
Why?
two chi's
How dishonest do you have to be to post this?
Male gay romance is ten times more rare than lesbians in both games and (especially) movies, tv shows, and cartoons.
A bunch of coomer simps will attack this post "cuz its hot!! gay men burn in hell!" but its true
also not vidya
Yuri is still extremely rare in vidya. Why does OP have to give a shit about yaoi being even rarer?
>draw two boys
>call them a yuri couple
>male gay romance is ten times more rare than lesbians
Actually, yaoi/BL is more popular than yuri in Japan.
Only in manga.
No, it happens in anime too. Hell, yaoi pandering sells more than yuri pandering. Yuri on Ice still sold more than Lycoris Recoil.

Imagine unironically thinking dykes is the same thing as yuri
Overwatch and TLOU aren't yuri. Westoid garbage should use the term "LGBT representation".

What about Yuri stories that end up in tragedy or misery?
what sort of enjoyment is there?

Because homosexuals deserves to be killed
I haven't watched the show. Do they shoot people and bomb trenches like actual soldiers or just drive around doing cute stuff in tanks?
anon everyone in the show is dead. it's just two literal girls walking around a doomed post-human world.
Why do they wear helmets? How do they fuel the tank?
these things are explained in the series. go watch
You made it sound depressing. I will not watch it now.
It is depressing, and the ending of the manga is even more so, watch it anyways.
cuz its shit ;/
Because too much of a good thing is bad.
Kindred Spirits on the Roof is an average VN with a ridiculous premise but I'll be damned if I didn't enjoy it.
Why is proper romance so rare in japanese games period?
Obligatory Embric of Wulfhammer's Castle shill
Play it, /u/ made it
Yuri is for cucks
How? I'm self inserting as one of the girls, not as someone watching the girls.
Actual romance that has progress is rare in vidya in general. Yuri especially.
