I actually had a rather nice discussion with Lynzee about the one of those couples I was not familiar with, and changed my opinion on it. I still think the list's theme is muddled (and I'm not the only one who has voiced such an objection in this thread), but the concept was interesting enough. As for the lesbian stuff, I'm more versed in lesbian couples than gay male couples (for obvious reasons), but I could come up with a decent list there if I were to put some more time reaching into my memory. Not to mention that I praised the inclusion of Yukito/Touya and Shinji/Kaworu, while two of my largest objections were to two of the three lesbian couples listed. If you have objections to my objections, I'd like to see you actually address them, instead of just blithely insulting me, which is what you keep accusing me of doing. |

I have objections to your objections because you *start* by being a complete ass and then people have to talk you down to reasonable. You suddenly stopped behaving like an animal once someone spoke to you like you're a human being. That's my problem. You're a huge ass, and I get hundreds of complaints about your behavior, and then you settle down once anyone engages you while ignoring your obnoxious, obviously meant-to-be-insulting tone. Have you considered *not* starting your argument with shock tactics? Ever? |

My first comment was perhaps a bit more impolitic than necessary, though nothing compared to the reactions of some people elsewhere. I then proceeded to address the actual meat of the article, laying out my objections and thoughts on the matter. I'd be delighted to discuss them further, with you, Lynzee or anyone else who'd like to weigh in. |

I don't see how I'm preventing anyone from expressing their opinion, or countering my own. |

I don't care what people "elsewhere" think and your behavior here is not the fault of anyone but you. If you can't even take basic adult responsibility for your insulting, mean-spirited behavior - literally trying to justify it with "people on 4chan (or whatever) were meaner about it!" - then you seriously need to grow up. As someone who is responsible for policing this forum and ejecting problem users who make the community worse for everyone around them, I've had enough. Man up, take responsibility for your behavior and stop with the shock tactics. Behave like an adult. I assume you are one. |

What's up. I'm a lesbian who's dating a trans girl and I liked this list and am not sure why everyone is arguing.
Yeah the pronouns and stuff in the part about Hourou Musuko were wrong but I'm just glad you included it because that show is the shit. Rock on, man. |

After everything they do for eachother throughout the course of the series, I felt it was pretty clear how they feel about eachother even though neither ever uses the "L" word, although Kurogane comes somewhat close in his private discussion with Tomoyo when spoiler[he talks about refusing to lose someone else precious to him in what is an obvious reference to Fai]. They went through so much together that it's fairly impossible to imagine either ending up with anyone else post-series. As for Subaru and Seishiro - no. Just, no. Anyone who ships them is, in my humble opinion, missing the whole point. Hello. Seishiro is evil incarnate, and it's an utter tragedy that he ever entered Subaru's life. |

What about the two "couples" from GetBackers? The two leads Ban and Ginji is somewhat ambiguous in the manga, but are Kazuki and Jubei the most obvious ones (Although Kazuki's gender is even more confusing than Hunter x Hunter's Kurapica due to his clothing)

Here. If you're suspicious of the source, here's the documentation of where this material is supposedly coming from. As for the rest of it, while I don't agree entirely with the list in question, I don't think it needs ten or so yuri pairings to even it out--one of them from a crappy show and predicated on spoiler["I rape you because I caaare!"] |
