TV and MediaSearching for GL comics/graphic novels or animations with a dystopian setting for lesbian viewership

Posted June 28, 2024 by coord in Lesbians

Hi. For those knowing more than myself. I've been reading and watching since I was a teenager shoujo ai/yuri/GirlsLove content from asia and america.

Now that I am older, I don't care about many things anymore or it makes just angry, or it gets boring because the target group and writers are obviously males or slice-of-life glitter fans, pushing femininity, violence/perv. against fem. characters and so on.

I try to find more stories with dystopia, action, mystery, superpower, philosophy, some revenge plots, good morality (female friendship) and happy endings but for lesbians. It should be not supportive of males and male gaze.

Now here is a list for example, about some settings that got my interest over the years, because of the dark design and plot, but sadly lack relationships/female characters, costumes and twists to get really involvet into it:

in Comics,

Monocyte from mentonIII
Spiderman Noir, Spiderman Back in Black, Batman Hush, Spawn and Bloodborne

Mangas,

Attack on Titan
Area D
Biomega, Aposimz, Abara...

Animes,

Ergo Proxy
Canaan
Kaiba
Sky blue/Wonderful Days
Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters

Or game worlds similar to

Deus Ex
Dishonored
Scorn
Outlast

Or movie worlds like Maze Runner, Panem, Resident Evil, Aeon Flux and Underworld.

Have you seen Revolutionary Girl Utena? I don't want to spoil too much but while it's not strictly dystopian, it is deeply philosophical and allegorical, has a strong focus on female friendships and intimacy, and the main villain is kind of a representation of the patriarchy. Rejection of heteronormativity/comphet is a major theme as well.

Make sure you give it a few episodes, as it starts out seeming like a typical shojo anime, but the tropes get bent and snapped in half as it goes on. I still think it's one of the best anime ever created.

Not necessarily Asian but the Webcomic "Nevermore" is pretty cool and has a lesbian romance front and center.

o/Lesbians is a space for lesbians to connect, thrive, and build a genuine lesbian community. We define lesbianism as homosexuality; a woman’s exclusive same-sex attraction to other women. Participation by non-lesbians in this circle is not allowed.

Along with our rules, we enforce the sitewide rules and guidelines.

No participation by people who are not both female and exclusively same sex attracted. Users in violation will be banned. This includes posting, commenting, and voting.
Assume good faith. Please refrain from being preemptively belligerent or defensive.
No attacks, insults, or reciprocation. If you are attacked by another user, use the report button instead of reciprocating. If you reciprocate, you will also be in violation of this rule.
No slurs or pejoratives. The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' used to refer to other women are considered slurs. Name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other language used specifically to target another user will also not be tolerated.
No bullying/ganging up on people. If the content is rule-breaking, report it instead of piling on.
Refrain from overgeneralizing your own experience onto others, or implying that what was true for you is necessarily true for all lesbians.
No criticism of sexual boundaries or relationship boundaries.
No content questioning one's lesbian orientation. Posts like 'When did you know?' are okay, but posts like 'What am I?' are not. We cannot tell you what you are. Similarly, refrain from unfounded speculation regarding the sex lives and sexuality of other women.
Gender-critical or trans-critical content lacking a lesbian focus will be removed.
No derailing or hijacking. This refers to posting a comment that is unrelated to the topic of the post, which often kills the original discussion.
No pornography. NSFW posts must be marked as such.
No selfies or other sharing of personal identifying information; no spam; and no self-promotion.
No using the exclusivity of the circle in bad faith towards/about the rest of the site, its content, or other users, who cannot respond if they've been misunderstood or misrepresented.
