CATDOLL: Why are lesbian scenes so common in Japanese animation? Love between girls is the purest

In Japanese animation scenes, viewers often see high school girls being very intimate, and even having some ambiguous physical contact. Is this slightly lesbian behavior really homosexual?

Recently, a topic has appeared in foreign forums: "Why do Japanese high school girls sometimes act so close? It feels almost like homosexuality." After all, in addition to animation scenes, young girls can often be seen taking photos face to face in real life. Are Japanese high school girls so close to each other? Some people even doubt that "the number of lesbians in Japan is so high"...

If we put this issue aside and conclude that two people are homosexual simply because they are close to each other or holding hands, it would be too extreme. At least there will be some physical interactions between familiar relatives and friends, but that does not necessarily indicate homosexual tendencies.

Foreign netizens gave various opinions on this, but most of them still agreed with the intimate behavior between young girls. "Every country has this phenomenon to some extent! Young girls will use some interactions such as holding hands or hugging to show their good feelings for each other. In one country, women will also call each other 'dear' or kiss each other on the cheek. These are all very common behaviors."

Other netizens also expressed their opinions - "If it's a couple, showing intimate behavior in school will easily attract unnecessary attention, and they may even be made fun of by those around them. It's more natural for girls to get together", "Girls liking girls is the purest form of love!", "But I heard that Japanese female high school students in real life will have some sinister bullying behaviors?", "It's okay between girls, but if two boys get a little close, they will immediately be regarded as gay."

From the perspective of animation, in recent years, there have been many works focusing on high school girls or daily life animations that focus on light yuri, which shows that yuri performances still have a certain market. However, everyone knows that reality is of course not so beautiful, so at least the audience can enjoy the ideal yuri world in their minds in the two-dimensional world, preferably without male interference. After all, in the two-dimensional world, whether it is simple friendship or yuri, it is pleasing to the eye...
