generally, yuri isn't popular with gay women. there's other genres that cater to that demographic. I think it's the emphasis on "girl" -- it's got serious :libertarian-approaching: tendencies. like I really wanted to like Adachi and Shimamura, something that was so cute on the surface but the literal fucking panty shots of 13 year olds made that impossible.
a lot of yuri rules, but a good chunk is like that, yeah. stuff like otherside picnic or bloom into you or she loves to cook and she loves to eat are all great and are all considered yuri and i would wholeheartedly recommend them.
also i think the genre thing is one of those urban legends that pops up in weeb spaces like the ghost stories dub or shinichiro watanabe saying the cowboy bebop dub was better than the original

You're supposed to read the novels which have zero fanservice.
