Turns out the vast majority of their fanbase is made up of lesbians- who think the band is made of lesbians as well! So now the band members have to find some way to convince their fans that, no, they are not gay.

* DeconstructiveParody: A number of yuri tropes are skewered for laughs. The main premise of the fic is one towards all the fanfics that have the cast be gay- here, the band has a huge LGBTFanbase that [[RainbowLens assumes]] this is the case, and the girls spend the fic trying to convince them that they are not lesbians- only for their every move to be taken as further proof of their lesbianism.

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Miss Yamanaka]] intentionally orchestrated the girls being MistakenForGay, as a way of giving them a gimmick to help them stand out from the crowd.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Mio's first plan to prove that the girls are straight runs on this - since yuri girls are attracted to girls, they must really be boys in their heads. Yui [[DumbassHasAPoint immediately points out the flaw in this logic]].

Mio leans into InsaneTrollLogic way too much to be convincing, Ritsu's still an incorrigible {{troll}}, Yui is [[CloudCuckooLander not operating on the same plane of reality as the others]], and while Tsumugi does very little damage, her implied YuriFan tendencies do not help in the slightest.
