#under the facade of 'portraying girlhood' yuri transforms this into an affirmation and exploration of same sex love

[selamat-linting]

tag team wrestling is like, gay yuri to me.

#at its core its about pushing and testing the boundary of same-sex affectations in spite of the watchful eye of heteropatriarchy #like. teenage girls are expected to form close friendships. it was seen as normal. something they do as practice. theyll grow out of it #and marry a man one day. its lesbophobic yes. but yuri as a genre subverts that #under the facade of 'portraying girlhood' yuri transforms this into an affirmation and exploration of same sex love #the girls might not canonically kiss but we know they are in love #so i think. tag team wrestling has some similarities #theyre using the excuse of brotherhood male bonding and the threat of violence to depict what a #long term faithful relationship between men would look like. with its ups and downs and breakups #like. they might not kiss but we know theyre in love with each other #also. yuri as a genre has evolved. gwitch has the main characters married #like yeah the company did eventually say its 'up to interpretation' but we all know better #tag team storylines in wrestling have a long way to go but like. golden lovers exist and theyre thriving. there's hope for something better #textposts
