A normal Yuri-ship would just appreciate girl-girl interaction, but other 'Yuri-ships' will start off like the player who posted this discussion, asking for the option for a female MC. Then, they will start attacking the male MC, like the player who posted this discussion, calling him a sex offender and other pejorative terms for men. Then, they will harass other players who prefer boy-girl interactions, to the point of forcing them to quit the game. Finally, since most players are driven away from the game, the devs lose most of their revenue, and the game is ruined. If you think I made this up, Azur lane barely survived this, Road to nowhere has just recently succumbed to this, and countless minor titles just die in obscurity. It is similar with the NTR-fans, they will harass other players and force them to quit, as proven by history.
I will call it as it is, an infection. An infection of the game, of its community. There are games made specifically for Yuri-ships, i.e. Back to the future 1999, and this game is made for straight males. Advocating for Yuri in this game is like asking for pineapple on your pizza in an authentic Italian restaurant. The player who posted this sounded reasonable and sane, but it is too high a risk to take their 'advice'. You don't just show up to a fort after taking bath salts in a zombie apocalypse, and expect not to get shot.
The Yuri genre was, and is still, made of girls/girls relationship in general, not only romantic one but platonic one too. Most Yuri either dont have romance or dont show anything more than hand holding because this entire genre was made out of "pure" and "cute" relationship. It was made for people who were fade up of overly superficial story where everything boild down to physical attraction.
I know today some westerner try super hard to destroy this genre, we see it easily as more and more super bad story made only for the fanservice and soft pron, but people if you dont follow their political idea dont use their wording.
Yuri was never about fighting for any poltical viewpoint, and it's the reason why it never was considered as weird.
This is it for my rant.
PS : The majority of Yuri enjoyer are men. And it is, funnily, for the opposed reason as to why Yaoi is mainly enjoyed by women.
PPS : The name and symbol of Yuri come from the white lily, a flower symbol of purity.
What I have stated is all true, Yuri 'enjoyers', in your words, ruin game after game and community after community, at least in China. They start off by 'colonising' a community, posting 'suggestions' like this thread, asking for a female MC. Then, they start attacking male MCs with sexual slander, and prosecute those enjoying a typical boy-girl relationship. Finally, they drive away other players and ruin the game. They just succeeded with Road to Nowhere recently, Azur Lane almost got ruined, and players are still fighting to defend their game.
For clarity, a Yuri enjoyer is a 百合厨, a enjoyer, a shipper. A Yuri 'enjoyer' who ruins communities is a 百合豚, a pig, a swine, if you will. Yuri is not political, but a Yuri 'enjoyer' is certainly political, in a sense that they eventually forbid others from liking anything other than Yuri.
It'd be neat if he at least had some skins for the Base or something. Idk about redrawing scenes.
I do find it funny that a 'well actually' post about what 'yuri' is, is based in the infinitely repeating misunderstanding westerners make when fantasizing about Asian culture/history. Often even bought into now a days by natural born Japanese*/Kor/Chi/etc citizens, lol. Japans history with lesbian culture lead to the birth of the yuri genre. Woman being in love has historically had the more physical or "male"(horny) elements censored out of it to fit to mainstream perspectives on acceptable behavior between queer woman. Often stripping away their offending qualities so much that they are even considered straight/hetero and their lesb-ish tendencies are relegated to an 'all loving artifact of femininity.'
That watered down version of lesbian/GirlLove relationships is what lead to some more explicit modern material being perceived as genre defying when it is in fact less culturally censored material. (This is also not exclusive in any way to Japan/Asia.)
For the record, that does not mean explicit or gratuitous themes are necessary. Just to clarify that 'yuri' is not a synonym for 'lesbian' or 'GL-NSFW' but is in fact the sub-genre for lesbian. It'd be like calling a 'western'(English) genre of BL 'Fruitcake' or something.
For more information, feel free to get in touch with actual LGBT/queer communities/writers in Japan. That'll clear things up real quick.
The message was sent through email, so I have a loose idea on who might have sent it. Back when I claimed to have a social life, I made some friends over the Internet, and some of those had Steam accounts and know about my still functioning email account. So it was either a bad prank or one of those guys might hold something against me. Don't know don't care. I reported the email to the appropriate parties.
I think the game is safe for now. Not only did I refrain from continuing this, I also stopped playing, which is the best option for everyone. I just log to send presence to those on the game's friend list until I get bored and remove them all and uninstall for good. Also, I'm not into any of those Yuri groups you mentioned and didn't even know there was such a campaign. I'm not here to destroy games.
Lastly, before I stopped playing, I found a "hide adjuntant" key. Forgot which but the icon is on the lower right of the screen. It placates the feeling a bit but it's not a first person mode.
Then again, the original post had a last part that asked for a different outfit for the guy if a female option was simply out of the question, due to story constrains and the type of game this actually is (maybe a pair of eyes could do good too as he has none at the moment)...
so you basically have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ friends and decided to twist it as if the forum members here did something bad... yikes.
And yeah, you just made me realize something further. For all of this bad and tasteless spectacle, I should send a global apology, which I'm sending right now. I jumped the gun and acted without thinking it through. From the very first post of the thread to what it has become, I'm deeply sorry. I was completely out of line and thinking only about me. It is something that does not represent who I want to be, and demonstrates that I have a huge way to go.
Sadly no apology changes what I did, so I can assume the best course of action for me to be to also leave the forum behind. Perhaps just read it and not write anything from now on. Not sure. I still like helping with what little I know, but maybe not being able to do that would be a good penance for my blunder.
Since you sound like a polite and reasonable person, I am also glad to share a bit more with you. Unfortunately, your original thread contained too much rhetoric that the extreme Yuri groups use, so you got a lot of hate due to pure coincidence. As I already posted above, your words were the exact ones they use just before they start ruining a community.
It's like you passed by a kindergarten, was curious so you peeked inside for a while, then calling to ask after a child of your distant relative to check up on them. They are still very likely to call the cops on you, since although you are not, you acted like a child molester. You did nothing wrong, just said the wrong things at a wrong time.
What's more, in a different thread, I posted about the current mobile game market in China. You can look it up if you're curious, but basically, other gaming companies are contempt but jealous of Snowbreak's success, they also suffer reduced revenue since their players are switching over to Snowbreak, so these companies are actively TRYING TO KILL SNOWBREAK right now, using everything at their disposal. Thus, the community is understandably very defensive and sensitive, sometimes even extreme, because otherwise their game might be ruined by corporate espionage.(Yes it sounds unreal, but these companies really pay people to start fights and rumors in the community.)
Lastly, to address your complaint about eyes - it is an artistic choice rather than a spontaneous one. If you happen to have watched some R-18 anime (I imagine most people here did), or just seen some fanart, you will realise that this is not an unique case, but a pattern. Besides, you have most certainly seen in films or shows a device called a retina scanner? A person's eyes are the most unique and unchanging part of their appearance, to the point where it can be used for identification. So, covering a male MC's eyes or not drawing them eases immersion for the player, making it easier for them to think that 'this person is me, not another stranger'.
To fight this group of political activist you first need to separate them from normal Yuri fan.
A "normal" Yuri fan is someone who enjoy ,for exemple, Girls Und Panzer. You never see any yuri fan of this series go around hating men?
Activist try to "hide" in larger group to protect themself. If you do not separate them from the group your fight will be in vain. If you want to prevent them from ruining any IP you need to indentify them more clearly, and not mix them with the majority who are unrelated.
I like Girls und Panzer as well, I like Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete, but I don't come here asking for a female MC, or CPs between characters. The problem is, some 'Yuri fans' coming into the community did. Even if the community doesn't separate the extremists from normal fans, the fight would just be considered by others to be a little radical, but would never be in vain. The fight would only be in vain if these extremists infiltrates despite all efforts. The community isn't harassing normal Yuri fans elsewhere for retaliation, just forbidding anyone from discussing adding Yuri features to the game.
You even add and you still dare to pretend that i am the one who use western view on to juge things?
All the things you said are literaly modern western politcal activism, and you dont get the issue when you act as if you represented a Japanese view point?
It's a fact that most yuri lover are men, not because they are horny, like your lack of brain matter make you think, but because it's "chill" and "healing".
Not everyone is like you, not everyone define their entire life around sex and sexual activity.
It's also a fact that the genre exist and survive because of men, as women are a minority in this genre. Like i said, it's literaly the same for Yaoi and Women. But weirdly we dont see men going around, like you do, insulting women and acting as if they were not the main demographic target.
Realy, things were so much better twenty year ago before any of you started to swarm everything with your childish political view. Today we have you go around trying to rewrite history acting as if your western political belief were universal.
Still care to tell me, how come you dont have any issue with Yaoi being mainly enjoyed by women but have any issue with Yuri being mainly enjoyed by men? Or is it too much to ask?
So when you try to prevent the political activist from doing their things, the people, who dont know anything about what's happening, will tend to defend the political activist just because they are part of the same group.
So if you start by separating them from the larger group you will have an easier time. If you let the larger group know what the activist are doing then you will be able to, more easily, prevent the political activist from going around ruinning everythings.
I already blocked that 'Spacetrader' guy/being, since he was obviously just spewing bile. However, I also appreciate people like those a little bit, because there is a lot of hate and tension between China and Japan, yet those 'creatures' from the west can unite us, even if just temporarily.
