What is the definition of yuribait, Zig Forums?
What is the definition of yuribait, Zig Forums?

Alexander Long
Anything by Naoko Yamada
Evan Roberts
If it contains 2 or more girls within spitting distance of each other.
Christopher Cox
Anything that depicts girls engaging on interactions with homosexual undertones but never goes beyond that.
The girls not entering on a heterosexual relationship later on the story or at the end doesn't mean that the work isn't yuribait.
Colton Myers
When the girls end as just friends.
Jaxson Clark
>undertones but never goes beyond that
What if one of the girls is confirmed lesbian? Her interactions with her love interest are then explicit instead of undertones.
Kayden Thompson
Then it isn't yuribait.
For a work to be yuri it has to show at least one of the following on-screen:
>One girl declaring her romantic love to another girl in no ambiguous terms
>Two girls kissing, said kiss having romantic / sexual intent
>Two girls having a sexual encounter
That's why Lyrical Nanoha is the most shameless example of yuribaiting on Japanese media.
Ian Peterson
>Nanoha
Chase Morris
OP = FAGGOT
Joshua Brooks
Yes, Nanoha.
Show me a canon work (not the equivalent of parody 4komas every franchise does) where they show their gayness in no ambiguous terms.
Nathaniel Wood
Pic unrelated? Nothing came out of that.
Juan Foster
I just did. She addresses Fate as "My Love" in English.
Cameron White
Introducing reverse yuribait
That is /u/'s term used by Zig Forums who stuck there
Isaac Long
So does any older women in my country to young men regardless of relationship and doesn't mean they're in love or something.
Again, show me a canon work (not the equivalent of parody 4komas every franchise does) where they show their gayness in no ambiguous terms.
It doesn't need to be "The Big Gay Nanoha-Fate Marriage Movie", just a single scene of them kissing or being unambiguously gay.
Ian Kelly
What is it with this recently? Has some fag been btfo'd on /u/ are have come here to stir shit?
Xavier Lee
>in my country
You don't live in Japan so that's a false equivalence on top of the fact that they're both the same age.
Brayden Thomas
* and
fucking autocorrect
Cooper Davis
Not OP and I've never been on /u/.
I just hate yuribait because it took away true yuri from us and most of the yuri fanbase has so little dignity it accepted it.
Nolan Davis
That is a shot from the opening, and you know those songs sing about nothing or nothing related to the actual work.
Again, show me a canon work (not the equivalent of parody 4komas every franchise does) where they show their gayness in no ambiguous terms.
It doesn't need to be "The Big Gay Nanoha-Fate Marriage Movie", just a single scene of them kissing or being unambiguously gay.
Daniel Cooper
The worst thing about yuri bait is the lack of dynamics and variety. Why can't straight girls be friends with characters that have yuribait moments with others? Why can't we have mixed gender casts anymore? does every character need to be potential for yuri relationships?
Camden Wilson
>official OPs don't count because I say so
>official 4komas don't count because I say so
>official comments by staff/directors don't count because I say so
Jackson Powell
>official OPs don't count because I say so
>official 4komas don't count because I say so
>official comments by staff/directors don't count because I say so
Exactly. None of them are depicted on the work itself, in-universe and from the mouth of the actual characters.
That's why Nanoha is such a masterful yuribait: it looks like it isn't but it never takes the final step.
Zachary Wright
Why do you keep making these threads?
Joseph Fisher
>Why can't we have mixed gender casts anymore?
Because waifufags
>does every character need to be potential for yuri relationships?
Yes because shippers = $$$$$
Bentley White
>Why can't straight girls be friends with characters that have yuribait moments with others
What exactly is the difference between two lesbians who are just friends with each other and a lesbian and straight girl who are just friends?

In the west we're free to make up words like "yuribait" and try to force them into a culture we're not very familiar with, but in Japan Nanoha was one of the 3 biggest yuri franchises of the last decade, and one of the reasons that Megami Lily was started back then. The franchise is mostly irrelevant now after 15 years but it still keeps getting attention from fans of the genre in Japan everyday, including new doujins still to this date, if I remember correctly NanoFate alone had more than 5000 doujins last time someone posted statistic, which is well deserved for one of the few yuri couples that actually got married and started a family, most couples in the genre didn't show the lived of the characters past high school, but nowadays that's a trend that is changing.
Colton Hughes
>in-universe
The 4koma's take place in the same universe as the anime though.
Jordan Gonzalez
I've seen plenty of waifufags like series with mixed casts, I don't buy that.
Samuel Lee
>I remember correctly NanoFate alone had more than 5000 doujins last time someone posted statistic
Doujins aren't representative of a work's actual content.
How many BL / slash fanfics featuring Star Trek characters are out there? Does that make Star Trek a gay franchise
>which is well deserved for one of the few yuri couples that actually got married and started a family
They aren't a couple and they aren't married. They're roommates at best.
See? This is why Nanoha is the most malicious yuribait franchise of all.
Anthony Perry
>In the west we're free to make up words like "yuribait"
This is the part I don't get. Why does Zig Forums shit on people who use the retarded western term shoujo ai, rightfully so mind you, but use the equally made-up western term yuribait?
Levi Flores
>it looks like it isn't but it never takes the final step.
That's wrong, Nanoha goes beyond the achievements of most yuri couples, you're free to arbitrarily call the franchise as a whole "yuribait" because that's the made-up word you use to call whatever fall into your unreasonable standards of explicitness, but making up names for things you don't like is not the way for proving the the fans of a franchise and its staff wrong.
Colton Stewart
I agree
Colton Ramirez
>Nanoha goes beyond the achievements of most yuri couples
They aren't a yuri couple.
>you're free to arbitrarily call the franchise as a whole "yuribait" because that's the made-up word you use to call whatever fall into your unreasonable standards of explicitness
Except I can get such "unreasonable standards of explicitness" from any actual yuri manga and anime.
Lucas Thompson
>Doujins aren't representative of a work's actual content.
That wasn't the argument, the point was that its high popularity in the yuri fandom was evidenced by the support of the fans in ways that can be measured, such as amount of fanarts and doujins.
>They aren't a couple and they aren't married. They're roommates at best.
You can keep claiming that your alternative facts are a reality as long as you want, the Internet is safe, just don't go preaching your beliefs outside of schools like flat Earthers do.
>Except I can get such "unreasonable standards of explicitness" from any actual yuri manga and anime.
Nanoha is not a "yuri manga and anime", it's an action seinen with yuri elements that became one of the most popular franchises in the yuri fandom mainly thanks to the the success of Nanoha and Fate as a couple.
