Do you like it when all female characters in Yuri anime are lesbian by default?

Or is it more interesting to watch them overcoming their natural instinct for breeding and ultimately deciding to swing the other way?

I do not mind seeing yuri or straight as long as no yaoi is in it.

Love is beautiful in all it's forms is the correct answer. That said I don't watch much yuri so I can't comment.

Being homosexual doesn't make them infertile. A lot of homosexual couples have children, and in the lesbian case it is particularily easy to make some. I fail to see the mutal exclusion of childbirth and homosexuality in women.

Only if it's a ecchi, erotica or hentai.

I don't mind, but I'd prefer if there were bi girls as well.

@inim I said "overcoming their instinct for breeding", not "overcoming their desire to have children". It may seem the same, but there is a certain distinction present. Probably would have been better if I said "instinct to get bred", heh. Unfortunately, if we continue this conversation, this thread will get locked, knowing how deranged the moderation on MAL is.

Keep the yuri pure and remove men from the story entirely

Not really cause that must mean it was made to appeal to someone's fantasy or kink. Also probably making every character into a trope so the watcher has multiple waifus or ships to choose from or whatever, instead of trying to tell a compelling story with proper lesbian representation

It's OK if the old grannies aren't. I can live with that.

@queenofautism The way you word it sounds homophobic. I'd personally describe it as "finding out they're bi" rather than "being forced the other way" if it's actually consensual. It's clearly not their natural instinct if they do swing both ways.

In terms of if I'd rather them know they're lesbian at the beginning of the story vs thinking they're straight and realizing they're bi later on, I think either way can work. I don't have too strong a preference. As long as it's well written then it's enjoyable. I find it more important that the characters are well written and have good chemistry than how well they understand their own orientation. I think it's a bit of an overdone trope that one character heavily identifies as being straight and is convinced they can go the other way, but that doesn't mean it can't be done well.

I like to see variety. It depends on execution of if their sexuality is lesbian or bisexual or if it is a story of an exception to the rule.

"Natural instinct for breeding"? Lol I will say that it does bother me when yuri has no men and the hidden assumption is the lesbian relationship is a phase and a replacement for a het one.
Not saying something like Yuru Yuri or Sakura trick have that particular agenda, it's just that yuri seems overly concerned with explaining why girls would ever date each other.

If it's interesting then I'll watch it but in general I'm not a big fan of a setting where every character is gay/lesbian, it's weird because gay/lesbian make only a small part of the population.
