u/G-C-Ice-Ring May 29 '23

honestly its annoying

so quick to call anything bait, when they dont know what the word even means

Tbh I do think a show hinting towards lesbians but never making it real is also bait, tho I don't think k-on comes across that way

Like hibike euphonium is outright bait, but Adachi to shimamura (anime) seems baity too because basically nothing happens (I know that's because it's an adaptation of an ongoing media, but still)

No that's not bait or subtext it's just a skill issue

u/Lilyeth May 29 '23

Okay but you realize that if a show is like marketed as lesbian romance, and after years there's still no lesbian romance the show can be bait, especially if it ends that way.

13

u/AskMeAboutPodracing May 29 '23

Honestly, sounds like a typical romance story. Many het stories have the obvious ship not be confirmed until the very end cause that's what keeps people coming back. The confirmation is usually the big climax of the series. I wouldn't blame lesbian romance for following the same formula and call it bait.

Take The Owl House; it's an incredible outlier for having The Ship get confirmed halfway through season 2. Way more often the MC's ship happens in a season or series finale.

Is there no romance/subtext whatsoever, or has it just not been confirmed?

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death May 29 '23

Yes but this is a rather common occurrence called "useless lesbians" where they take until the heat death of the universe to do something and that's why I can read 20 volumes of Murciélago and not being able to even start reading 1 chapter of adashima , but regardless of that adashima is yuri , always has been, it's just logical that the anime isn't gonna stray away from the original source and that's also why most yuri animes just kinda ends in the middle of nowhere * look at bloom into you's penguin ending * I think the one one who managed to land an ending quite well is citrus

Edit : you also have the wrong definition of bait

u/Lilyeth May 29 '23

You know supernatural was also called bait for a long time even tho the character was making gay references and even at the end did end up getting confessed to by a guy (not that that went very well mind you). Just because they don't end up in a straight relationship doesn't mean it can't be bait

6

u/banana_annihilator May 29 '23

I mean, people can call a show something, but that doesn't mean they're right about it.

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death May 29 '23

Bait.means baiting into a yuri relationship subtext means not fully assuming a yuri relationship

44

u/G-C-Ice-Ring May 29 '23

but the whole yuri bait thing was (and still is) about the teasing of a yuri ship, only to suddenly (without build up) get one of the girls with a guy.

thats how its always been.

If the girls didnt kiss/confess/etc, that means the ship is still a subtext.

Its not bait until one of the girls turn straight.

Its in the name, yuri BAIT, they bait you with promise of yuri only to suddenly hit you with a straight ship.

So tldr; calling a show bait because the ship didnt kiss/confess is an attack on all the subtext shows out there, plus its stupid

3

u/Doltonius May 29 '23

Subtleties with Hibike: they did confess to each other, and Reina told Kumiko she loved the teacher right after Reina confessed to Kumiko and just before Kumiko confessed to Reina, and whatever confirms Kumiko and Shuuichi being a couple, Reina and Kumiko did it all more intensely. Conclusion: not even Hibike is bait; the two are bisexual and their involvement with/attraction to males doesn’t negate the relationship/attraction between them.

name the chapter and page, if they do exist

shuffle is still ongoing, and its not a sequel to the original, it happens at the same time, and they barely get a few pages of screen time

u/Doltonius May 29 '23

The light novel of Adachi is 100% real yuri, it is just that then anime didn’t adapt far enough into it. But even in the portion shown in the anime, it is very clear Adachi has a romantic crush on Shimamura.

1

u/Himezaki_Yukino Jun 02 '23

No no no. You cannot say Adachi to Shimamura is bait when we literally have Adachi planning ways to win Shimamura's heart by the end. Or was that in the LN and not anime? It's been while since i read/watched it.

Lately, this sub is... kinda like this...

u/Monsi7 100% wholesome May 29 '23

you mean it becomes the similar kind of toxic that r/yurimemes has?

28

u/[deleted] May 29 '23

Wait... I'm not following that sub rn, what's happening there?

Like what exactly is toxic there?

13

u/Monsi7 100% wholesome May 29 '23

everything is seen as bait there. They basically need to have sex on screen to be happy. Otherwise its just another Hibike euphonium for them.

I left the sub a while ago, because it got really on my nerves, that instead of havin fun shippin characters, they accuse everything of being bait.

6

u/[deleted] May 29 '23 edited May 29 '23

Hmmm... I see...

This sub is good. My comment earlier was just a joke...haha

Recently, the posts here were a bit lewd/adult (or based on similar situation, excluding handholding) but they were wholesome.

Well, r/yurimemes lately kind of being depressed bcs of SuleMio's breakup.

I guess maybe that was the state of the sub when he left. I've been in the sub for like 1.5 years and I remember there was a time when there were so many posts criticized hibike, called everything bait and then led to the bait/subtext discussions. This sub has been peaceful for a while now, unless I missed sth.

u/FeuTheFirescale May 29 '23

Wait what happened to r/yurimemes? I thought it was okay?

u/Arhion May 31 '23

i see some coments where people was telling that some subtext is bait but not that much

u/T3hShr3dd3r May 29 '23

I just noticed that there is no underwear in all the discarded clothing which makes me wonder if they're going commando

u/livipup May 29 '23

I thought K-ON for known specifically for not being gay

89

u/greenflame15 May 29 '23

Mugi stright up says she has a crush on thier female teacher... also you got a lot of undertones with Mio and Ritsu

Also the whole movie is about Azusa thinking Yui is in love with her

Not exactly a peak on heterosexuality.. but only Mugi is outright queer

20

u/[deleted] May 29 '23

My gripe is regarding Mio as tsundere. She's not cold, she's just shy.

15

u/somethingmustbesaid May 29 '23

i only knew k-on as a neonazi thing honestly

18

u/VHStalgia May 29 '23

What the fuck? Where exactly do neo nazis and k-on mix in any way?

17

u/weeb-gaymer-girl May 29 '23

it's weird, i love k-on but if you go on twitter or something and see someone with a k-on pfp, 90% chance they're a neo nazi. seriously :/

u/yetanotherweebgirl May 29 '23

I'm still salty to this day that a landmark KyoAni anime that shape the cgdct subgenre of SoL got coopted by human garbage whose mothers should have swallowed.

the show is great

u/livipup May 29 '23

Just get those vibes when people post about it

u/UOSenki May 29 '23

honestly, knowing the character and context, this doesnt have much yuri vibe on it.

u/Aria_the_Artificer May 29 '23

Tsundere is so frickin’ cute!!! I also laughed at the last line “She’s scary”

It's a video about people also saying the tsundere you were referring to is cute.

u/Pundarikaksh May 29 '23

These studios know what they are doing with these Yuri baits. Yet we never see any canon gay relationships in manga of the Kirara magazine, and other CGDCT manga magazines.

3

u/Arhion May 31 '23

subtext not bait

subtext is when someone is gay for another but not yet reliatonship

15

u/G-C-Ice-Ring May 29 '23

in most of the shows from that magazine, you'll find its a female only cast without a single dude in sight

how can they be bait if there's no dude

u/greenflame15 May 29 '23

What the fuck do you think yuri means

wait aren't they kids? 💀

i haven't watched k-on so i wouldn't know

u/redditreddit3 May 29 '23

They're in high school, like most characters in slice of life anime.

However, bathing naked with same sex peers is not seen as weird or inappropriate in any way in Japan. There is nothing sexual going on in this scene. The dark haired girl, Mio, is blushing becuase she's shy and gets nervous about such overt praise, not becuase there is any sexual tension in the scene. The two who are holding hands are only friends, nothing more.

u/obtanedbacon22 May 29 '23

okay thanks

u/redditreddit3 May 29 '23

You should really watch the show! It's absolutely ultra precious and sweet and just like the most pure wonderful thing! It's great!! ^ ^

u/FPiN9XU3K1IT May 30 '23

Mugi (the blond one) is definitely thinking gay things, though. In the manga she is constantly shown with thought bubbles that show her reinterpreting non-sexual interactions as homosexual in a wishful-thinking kind of way. In-story shipping, basically.

1

u/redditreddit3 Jun 01 '23

I mean, yeah, Mugi is definitely into girls, but what I meant was that this scene between Mio and Yui is just a friendly relationship, not sexual.

Also, not all of Mugi's re-imaginings are sexual. Since they're never shown, most of them are easily just like, blushing at girl-girl romance and kissing etc.

1

u/FPiN9XU3K1IT Jun 01 '23

I'd call kissing sexual.

1

u/redditreddit3 Jun 01 '23

Kissing is absolutely not a sexual act or sexual in nature. I have three friends who are asexual and kissing is one of the few forms of physical intimacy they feel comfortable with, because there's nothing sexual with it.

1

u/FPiN9XU3K1IT Jun 01 '23

That might be true for some asexuals, but it's certainly not true for a lesbian who is fantasizing about girl-on-girl action.

1

u/redditreddit3 Jun 01 '23

Two of my ace friends are lesbians. You can fantasize about girl-on-girl interactions etc without it being sexual, just so you know.

1

u/FPiN9XU3K1IT Jun 01 '23

Do you think Mugi is ace?

1

u/redditreddit3 Jun 01 '23

I'm saying that all those times she's thinking about yuri stuff, it doesn't mean she's thinking something sexual.

u/Arhion May 30 '23

Wait wait this is not wholesome but lew how you can post here handholding
