Basically, yuri fans and fujos essentially switched places.
Fujos now just like seeing hot dudes, it doesn't really matter what they're doing, so long as there are a bunch of hot dudes interacting with one another they could literally be fucking a woman and a fujo would cut out the man and paste him into a relationship with a dude for her to schlick to.
Yuri fans nowadays however are a lot like how fujos used to be; they're not actually interested in yuri for the cute girls aspect, it's almost entirely non-sexual for them, they're into yuri because they want to see specifically romance between two girls with no men, because that way there's no man for them to compare themselves to.
It's been baffling to observe in real time, but it's REALLY obvious when you observe the behavior of yurifans on /a/ and /u/ (and even /v/) nowadays, it went from being a fetish mainly for dudes to jerk off to to being a fetish for dudes to self-insert into because they suffer from a staggering amount of self-hatred and believe they could never find love as a male.
