I personally just see it as a close friendship between girls.  |
Yes but it's still marketed to 'Horny teenage otakus' as you put it
You can justify all day what you're actually watching the show for, but in the end yuri shows are just like any other sexual fantasies- alots of beautiful girls, but this time- no other penis in sight!

Does it actually matter? In the first place I have never met anyone that says- "
Yup, that's me over there!", have you
?
If they really want to project themselves, not having to put themselves in the role of another character seems easier... Or rather, not having a character to project themselves wouldn't really matter.
