My yuri icks
The Sisterly Love - i read this manga "Maya's Funeral Procession" when the both the female leads are super into each other and in the ends it turnes out they are biological sisters the supposedly all that attraction was from that yuck
Kinda related But we're both girl and It's okay we're both girls - that first one is just tired its like your trying to write a coming out story but you just do one line and give up, the second one is much much worst it shows wlw relationships like a fun novelty not actual love or anything just a summertime swing before you get married and find the actual love of your life with some random man i fucking hate this trope and its so so popular
Male gaze - basically in most smut yuri you can just tell the author never seen a woman in his life, please fuck give me realistic bodies i cannot with the boobs too times bigger then the face also why all of them look like they just got out of a full laser hair removal? Woman have hair
Baby face - no i dont want a romance with two adults that look like high schoolers at best but to be honest just like grade schoolers like no
Basic character designes - so much of yuri just have the basic black haired femme / blond haired femme please for the love of god bring some variety masc and androgynous exist and if you need femme/femme maybe bring a high femme into the equation and also some styles?! There are so many punk,goth,lolita,decora,cottagecore idk thats so little please give them interesting character designs
The obsession with boob size - ive read a fare share of manga where the big part of the dynamic was an obssesion with one character abnormally large boobs im so done with this
Maid / Master romance that doesn't explore the power dynamic - the only reason it exist is so one character can be in a cute maid outfit and they can whine how their relationship must be private save me please i love master/servant romance but for me it needs at least a bit of dubious consent like come on one of them hold the power over the others whole life how does that not come up even once
Mother daughter romance that everybody exepts as normal and healthy - you raised me but now i want to fuck you well you aren't my biological kid so i guess lets go [ no just fucking no
Just some frustrations as a yuri lover if you have any recommendations that don't have those tropes please let me know im starving
