Susan Davis: I moved a number of examples of this trope that had been listed under Schoolgirl Lesbians here, and moved Haruka and Michiru to Schoolgirl Lesbians.
Hi: Something I learned in my women's history class was that at one point, young women who entered universities in America were expected to form (temporary) romantic relationships with other young women.
Dentaku: Which is strange, since you cannot switch your feelings on and off, e.g. "Oh, I'm older now so now I don't like you anymore". I suspect that it caused quite some heartache to the very least.
{Jolanda}: I don't get the difference between Romantic Two Girl Friendship and Schoolgirl Lesbians. Maybe someone could explain it explicitly in one or both of the entries? Assuming I'm not the only one who doesn't get it... :-) Andyzero: Yeah, this trope got a major case of people not paying attention to the description. The point is, very young girls having relationships aren't considered "real" in the sense "normal" m/f or even Yaoi is. Just a phase that girls grow out of. Binaroid: I thought the difference was that Romantic Two Girl Friendship was a close friendship that only boorish gaijin and/or perverts would think was actually lesbian... while Schoolgirl Lesbians happens if at least one of the characters starts thinking of their relationship that way, too. Andyzero: This is an actual Japanese concept, though. Related, I remember being accused in the 90's of being a pervert by Sailor Moon forums because I argued that Haruka and Micihru were lovers. Heh. Anon Troper: This isn't just Japanese. The Victorians were big on this kind of thing too. Big T: Heck, if you watch, you'll even find it here...IN AMERICA! |
