anti yuri/lesbians*
I think it's fine as long as the person doesn't bash the other demographic. It's incredibly ignorant and hypocritical. Personally, i don't read yuri. I'm totally open to the idea of watching yuri anime tho. (There's actually two anime that will air in 2017.) Overall i just don't get the same rush or interest as i do with reading yaoi. And that's fine. Yuri is great, yaoi is great, life is great. xD
ooo i see!!! thanks for sharing (:
They have a lot of growing up to do. It's okay to have opinions and preferences (yaoi) but to be "anti" lesbian is a different story. I guess it's the degree and how bad it is, and what you mean exactly. I guess I'm just thinking of the worst case scenario.
Dislike them. It's fine to be into yaoi and not yuri, everyone has different preferences after all. But, it's not fine to take that preference and apply them to real people.
The fact that some people will treat us differently depending on how much they enjoy to see us in fiction as though that has anything to do with us is frustrating. Yaoi/yuri exists for entertainment---actual LGB people don't.
I get it if it's not their cup of tea, but if they go out of their way to bash it, or insult people who like it, I get annoyed. Like, there's not such a great difference between Yaoi and Yuri when you think about it. They need to grow up.
immature if they bashing it, same goes for anti-yaoi or anti-hentai people
I have a friend who is like that, she doesn't particularly like Yuri but she loves yaoi. She even teases me with this classmate of ours that is very touchy/clingy with me, and eveytime that person goes near me she grins like an idiot but if the girlfriend of our (girl) friend she doesn't get the same reaction. Maybe her preference is only addressed to yaoi. But so long as she doesn't discriminate and or be hypocrite I don't see what's wrong. Well anyone has their preferences when it comes to relationships including festish. Even I have mine and I'm sure even you have yours(⌒▽⌒)

Sorry
Well it kinda depends on what you mean. Like I read yaoi, and I don't read yuri manga. But its not because I have issues with yuri, it's just because I am not attracted to girls in any way, so I have a hard time with stories about them as a love interest, I can't relate, if that makes sense. I read a shoujo ai that was cute and funny and sweet and I enjoyed it, I just have had trouble getting into another shoujo ai or yuri story.
But I have absolutely no issues with Lesbians at all. Doesn't affect how I view friends who are lesbian, if I have a friend who dates a girl I'm happy to see them happy. I don't have any prejudices there I just don't find girls physically attractive. I've never had a girl crush, I haven't had celebrity crushes. I am open to the idea of meeting a girl and falling in love with her, but I honestly really am more attracted to men. And that is ok because it is simply how I am, and if someone is attracted to men and women then that is fantastic because it is the way they are. I do love girls for friends though.
I have found that its often easier to get comfortable with the idea of two people of the same gender that's opposite your own. I warmed up to the idea of gay couples way faster than lesbian. I grew up taught that it was not ok at all...so I had to overcome prejudices and my prejudice against a gay couple went away a lot faster than for a lesbian couple. Not very sure why it seems to be this way, but I have discussed this with a lot of people and many people are this way.
I would say that if the people who are against yuri couples are young and were possibly raised the same way I was, then give them time to work through it on their own. They're overcoming something that was drilled into their heads. And good for them for getting over any prejudice, it isn't easy. Since a lot of yaoi fans are very young they're still working on coming to their own opinions and its not something that happens over night.
im curious :O
