nillia: Oops my hand slipped. Seriously one of the most beautiful and meaningful endings ever for a lesbian couple. Please watch it. If scenes in the beginning of the show make you uncomfortable, don’t ditch it. You’re supposed to feel uncomfortable. The show is very symbolic social commentary on toxic social expectations for conformity and sexuality. Here’s some cultural context: In a majority of Japanese media featuring girlxgirl relationships, the relationships are seen as either temporary non-sexual romantic friendships for young teens, or individuals are depicted as threatening and predatory lesbians. Their lesbianism is either meant to emphasize villain status or serve as a recurring gag. This show amps both of these tropes up to 11, and is turning them on their head so we can see their flaws. Sadly, the media reflects cultural misconceptions and stereotypes placed on lesbians in real life. Women who love women beyond childhood are seen as immature and/or willfully nonconformist/disturbed and must be secretive to prevent social exclusion. Many date or even get married to men to conform, and conduct a lesbian relationship in private. With that cultural context, please, watch Yurikuma! P.S. And follow me for more art of ladies who like ladies. -- source link
