>>1818361I'm just saying above all else that people hugely exaggerate the "lack of porn" on /u/. Yeah there's a lot of talking but there are still pictures and I enjoy using /u/ in conjunction with other sites to share/save doujins/pictures/etc.
>Some people get their porn from somewhere else. (exhentai or whatever) Some guys (and girls) simply don't get off of yuri porn. And so on. Just because of that it doesn't mean that they don't accept the "adult part" of /u/ anyway.I don't know what point you're trying to make through this. When I brought up that poll I wasn't talking about people "not accepting" porn, I was pointing out that a pretty large part of /u/ DOES use the board for porn (though usually along with romance).
I just think people hugely exaggerate /u/'s status as a "pure worksafe romance board".
>>1818353It started off as irony but became serious. I know a guy who grew up with really conservative parents and who does the "purest form of love" thing in utmost sincerity because he's ashamed of his male sexuality and sees men as "dirty" and women as "pure". And yes he is a huge yuri fan. And he's not the only one, just the worst example I can think of.
Well, it's still likely said with some level of comedic self-awareness, but the female idealization and often male self-hatred behind it are real.
