replies: text: Great! Yeah, I thought the article was a pretty good overview. ANN is starting to do more articles like that one, which is great, and diversify those who write reviews, so its not just a bunch of men. --Historyday01 (talk) 17:31, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible article to cite on main page 

message: On 2nd January 2022, I edited the Yuri (genre) artcle to replace 'lesbianism' with 'lesbian relationships'. This is because 'lesbianism' is a word used primarily by homophobes to imply that lesbians have an ulterior motive. Although I do not think that is the intent of its use in the article, many people take offence to the term because of how it is used without being any more encyclopeadic than 'lesbian relationships', which gets the point across without being associated with homophobia.

I am starting this topic to avoid getting into an edit war with the other user, discover why my edit was reverted, and whether or not it was a good edit.

replies: text: Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and a claim such as "'lesbianism' is a word used primarily by homophobes to imply that lesbians have an ulterior motive" needs to be backed up by more than your own assertion that this is indeed the case. I'll let other editors weigh in, but personally the claim that "lesbianism" is some kind of homophobic dog whistle and not a widely used term to describe individuals with a specific sexual identity seems spurious on its face. In any case, this article talk page is not a productive avenue to litigate this issue, given that "lesbianism" is a term used widely across the encyclopedia (see Radical lesbianism, History of lesbianism, Media portrayal of lesbianism, etc.) I would recommend starting a discussion at WikiProject LGBT studies or the Teahouse.

replies: text: Seems to me, 's edit was an improvement. "Lesbian relationships" is inoffensive, "lesbianism" sounds a bit weird, and reminds me of Auberon Waugh's humourously offensive remarks about "homosexualists". Maproom (talk) 22:08, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Morgan695's argument is perfectly valid. If there are articles that have "lesbianism" in their title, then this a larger issue than should be taken up in this one article. The issue should be taken up with WP:LGBT at the very least to try to form a consensus as to whether lesbianism is in fact considered offensive or not.--十八 00:42, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
