Mako Mankanshoku/Ryuko Matoi

Marcille Donato/Falin Touden

Voting ended onMay 27, 2023

How is Mako Mankanshoku/Ryuko Matoi (Kill la Kill) maligned?

"maligned due to their source material, a lot of people dont care for or outright loathe klk...but their relationship is possibly the most wholesome component of the whole show...theyre literally canon. ive been fighting in the trenches for them since 2014 when ppl were saying 'oh but in japan a date between two girls just means hanging out as friends!!!1!' WHEN THEY LITERALLY KISS and oh my god the SUBTEXT of some of their scenes??? anyway. it hurts so much seeing them lose or get left out of polls..." "#the rampant denial and homophobia that happened when they became canon was batshit insane. they literally kissed each other on the mouth" "#I HAVE SPENT TOO LONG ROTATING THEIR CANONCITIY AND THE PENIS RIDICULOUS RYUMAKO DENIERS TO NOT BE LOUD ABOUT THIS"

How is Marcille Donato/Falin Touden (Dungeon Meshi) maligned?

"Bro falin literally dies in the first chapter and you discover their relationship through backstory reveal his is this not maligned" "#falin got eaten by a lizard and her bestie does magic crimes to try and save her#succeeds in turning falin into the giant lizard thus forcing marcille to hunt her and kill her again"

Irisviel von Einzbern/Artoria Pendragon

The Boss/Strangelove

Voting ended onMay 11, 2023

How is Irisviel von Einzbern/Artoria Pendragon (Fate/Zero) maligned?

"In-universe, they suffered tragedy on par with what you'd expect for being in Fate/Zero; Iri's body slowly degrades over the course of the novel, and she has to be killed to release the Holy Grail. Iri is okay with this. Saber is not. Out of universe, they're maligned on account of Iri being married to a dude named Kiritsugu, and on account of Saber being more frequently shipped with either Shirou or Rin from the VN that Fate/Zero is a prequel to."

How is The Boss/Strangelove (Metal Gear Solid) maligned?

"we don't dr strangelove's actual name, thats a nickname she was given because she's a canonical lesbian who was in love with the Boss, also no actual name" "They're both ded 😔 they deserved so much more........................." "strangelove refused to accept the boss sacrificing herself so she made an ai that was a perfect copy in a nuke gundam body that sacrificed itself again to not nuke tf out of america" "...theyre in metal gear solid- which is somewhat dominated by male characters- MLM ships are most popular...it makes the WLW ships a lot more hidden- and far far less content (🥹)- also a large chunk of the fandom is cishet gamer men so- they hate strangelove and her openly lesbian identity along with her being an avid mAN-HATER..." "the boss is a bisexual icon and is not only with Strangelove, but also The Sorrow. and everyone forgets about Strangelove to instead talk about The Sorrow and The Boss" "Strangelove yearns for the Boss and even canonically wishes the kid she has with someone else could've been the Boss'..."

Misa Amane/Rem

Marcille Donato/Falin Touden

Voting ended onMay 19, 2023

How is Misa Amane/Rem (Death Note) maligned?

"i think just the fact of being women in death note is enough to qualify. like misa dedicates her life to light in the worst written way possible and then doesn't even get mentioned in the fucking ending or epilogue of the manga...meanwhile rem comes to love (yes that is the term used) misa enough to DIE for her but not only is the build up to this incredibly bare bones, she literally goes out of her way to explain 'don't worry it's NOT in a gay way' and that is. So funny. thankfully SOMEONE understood the tragic yuri potential when writing the death note musical where rem is explicitly in romantic love with her, so everybody say thank you to them" "#i shipped them in 5th grade adn my ex friend was ilke u cant do that theyre both women and i was like ok and i stopped" "#they are gay one is a hideous death god their love is her undoing and her death #does misa love her back? unclear. that just makes it more compelling. theyre messy theyre weird theyre fucked up they are MY yuri"

How is Marcille Donato/Falin Touden (Dungeon Meshi) maligned?

"Bro falin literally dies in the first chapter and you discover their relationship through backstory reveal his is this not maligned" "#falin got eaten by a lizard and her bestie does magic crimes to try and save her#succeeds in turning falin into the giant lizard thus forcing marcille to hunt her and kill her again"

Marcille Donato/Falin Touden

Voting ended onMay 17, 2023

How is Katya Michailov/Sofia (Goncharov) maligned?

"Well, they're from a movie that doesn't actually exist, so they get no attention in canon. Since, you know, there literally is no canon."

How is Svetlana Sergievsky/Florence Vassy (Chess) maligned?

"MISOGYNIST FANDOM! They would rather ship the two men in their lives who are HORRIBLE to these women. At least fandom sometimes acknowledges that Anatoly cheated on Svetlana but I have NEVER seen anyone acknowledge this line from Florence when she’s leaving Freddie: 'you’d be lost without me to abuse like you’re used to' HELLO??? But he’s the fandom’s golden child their uwu babygirl IT MAKES ME SICK!!! Also Florence and Svetlana are perfect for each other and the misogynist WRITER doesn’t let them talk!! They get ONE duet about a man which is CRAZY because if you analyze their solo songs…they are SO compatible. But alas. Tim Rice sucks and fandom would rather blorboify men than pick up the slack and remember women exist…"

Goombella/Vivian

Morena Prudo/Theta

Voting ended onMay 6, 2023

How is Goombella/Vivian (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) maligned?

"there's next to no content because they're goofy looking Mario characters but Goombella never misses an opportunity to talk about how cute Vivian is. also all references to Vivian being a trans woman got removed from the English translation of the game"

How is Morena Prudo/Theta (Hunter X Hunter) maligned?

"They have never interacted once, But I hope they do eventually. Theta is a bodyguard for a very misogynistic man. She tried to kill him but he survived somehow :(. Morena is the illegitimate daughter of the king and has been scarred since birth because of this. Also is a leader of a mafia group and a lot of people are trying to kill her or really want her dead"

Mayura Ransaika/Urara Ransaika

The Boss/Strangelove

Voting ended onMay 7, 2023

How is Mayura Ransaika/Urara Ransaika (Akane-banashi) maligned?

"Urara is a secondary character and Mayura is even more of her side character, her rakugo pupil that is an absolute head-over-heels sub. Between them not being major characters and this not being a super popular series, there are only a few dedicated himejoshi that appreciate this one."

How is The Boss/Strangelove (Metal Gear Solid) maligned?

"we don't dr strangelove's actual name, thats a nickname she was given because she's a canonical lesbian who was in love with the Boss, also no actual name" "They're both ded 😔 they deserved so much more........................."
