BL and GL
I wonder why is there no equivalent term such as 'fujoshi/fudanshi' for yuri fans?
I hear yuri fans are named stuff like 'hime-danshi' (princess-men) in one comic series; and 'yuri-zuki' (yuri lovers) in Japan.
How comes yuri and yaoi are viewed so differently?? both are a mixture of works that may be good, bad, or just OK depending on author or troupes popularized within the manga.
Why has yuri got a more popular, peaceful reputation amongst anime/manga fans than BL?
I have seen some lovely yuri manga; but have been a bit sad that most are set around high school girls. Whenever I want to see yuri about adult women; I often end up mainly finding such content in Ecchi genre anime TT_TT
Whilst for when I read BL/Yaoi I can read ones about high school AND adult men in equal amounts, which is a relief as i prefer adult romance BL.
(And sadly I didn't like Citrus as the love interest is a really scary girl ┗( T﹏T )┛it's a shame as Yuzu is such a nice mc.)
Probably because of the difference in the amount of like people in the fanbase, I'd say there's like more than 2 times the amount of yaoi fans to yuri fans, and like with the bigger fandom comes toxicity, and like some intellectuals that notice the bad parts of the genre. Idk probably just the difference in the fanbase.
